Heavy weight can give you some advantages initiating and completing turns, as long as you are sufficiently flexible and athletic. However, weight is generally a liability. The 1125r in XBRR clothing looks good. Can you make it all black. I'd like to see how the air scoops blend with the rest of the fairing. Thanks! | ||

"Can you make it all black. I'd like to see how the air scoops blend with the rest of the fairing." Sorry, I can only cut and paste, and I'm not very good at manipulating colors, but if anyone else wants to take a shot - using either that one or their own - I'd also like to see what something like to see it in black - or other colors.} | ||

Still looks overweight and bulbous..........  Rocket | ||

Or no fairing........  Rocket | ||

Thanks for polluting another thread, Rocket. Wonderful work there. | ||

I obliged a request to 'paint it black'. I added the 'streetfighter' because this thread is titled 'full fairing'. That is to say, some might be looking here but not in the 'streetfighter' thread. The above images represent both ends of the spectrum. I'd like to talk about the differences seeing as I'm a 'Streetfighter' fan. With the greatest respect, if you consider such polluting the thread, maybe you should take your head out of your rear end and work out that there are others that can see outside of your colon. Merry Christmas Rocket | ||

Great job, Rocket. Keep up the good work. | ||

Good job on the black full fairing. Looks overweight and bulbous? Who cares as long it isn't overweight (measured by a scale) and bulbous creates better airflow than the "quiet zone." The naked version is strange...seems there is a front cylinder cut short... is this the short stroke 16,000 RPM version? Post this hideous naked thing on the naked thread - lets see what the naked crowd thinks. This is a FULL FAIRING thread... | ||

I imagine that with a full fairing, you'd no longer distinguish the cooling air ducting. They would be enclosed by the fairing similarly to the RC51. | ||

Sean, Since its missing half the front cylinder I guess you could call it a water cooled " Blast 'n a half".  | ||
| Oddball |
Don't worry, it's so fast it'll beat'em with half it's engine cut off. | ||

I've wasted enough of my festive holiday trying to entertain you lot, but I did finish it off yesterday seeing as Buell didn't like my other attempts. I just hadn't posted it in this thread since some seem very PC these days about staying on topic. We can't talk of the opposite end of the spectrum on a 'full fairing' thread. Oh no. Such is a BadWeB no go these days  Balls to that then...........  Rocket | ||

Here's a version with a full, integrated fairing that's a combination of the XBRR and the current bike:  | ||

Nice Job Elvis. That looks tough. I would buy that bike today! | ||
| Buellnick |
Nice! Thanks... Too bad large tails are not appealing in the current sportbike marketplace...the aero is better behind the rider. The XBRR has a big tail for that reason as did the RR750/1000/1200. THe Suzuki TLR1000 was a v-twin w/fat tail for aero and was aesthetically ridiculed. Maybe Buell can just do what's right and put the racing tail section on the 1125r. Make it the most aero bike on the market now that it has a motor... Excellent job on the pic... | ||

Received my VIN today... I'll be able to visualize a Full Fairing in the privacy of my own garage - very soon. | ||
| Bearly |
Evis now that looks good. Thanks | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Elvis now that looks good. Thanks +1 Can I get you to fill that up to the lights? (Message edited by wolfridgerider on December 30, 2007) | ||
| Elvis |
Can I get you to fill that up to the lights? Something like this? I'm afraid I don't have much artistic talent. Anyone who would like to clean it up can feel free.  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
THANKS!! It just needs a little more radius but thats the basic idea I have in my head. I would like to see that in my garage..... minus the blue frame & wheels. Thanks again! | ||
| Garyl |
Hey Elvis, can you make the frame & swingarm "citicross silver"? | ||
| Rocketman |
Where is the blue frame you mentioned? Rocket | ||
| Buellnick |
Elvis, You da man... Now you are in demand for Photoshop work... btw: The stock frame is dark blue... | ||
| Rocketman |
btw: The stock frame is dark blue... You mean the pic's in this thread? I've never seen a blue frame on an 1125. Where are these pic's please? Rocket | ||
| Jaimec |
They only come with a "Diamond Blue" frame so far. | ||
| Rocketman |
Are you saying the frames are blue? I don't see blue. I see grey. Am I alone in this? Is 'diamond blue' a fancy name for grey? You're pulling my leg, right? Rocket | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Rocket, we all know you are right about everything motorcycle related and probably most everything else, but the frame is a diamond blue. Sorry. | ||
| Garyl |
"I don't see blue. I see grey" It looks quite blue to me. I've seen it in person too and it's definitely blue. Try adjusting the contrast on your computers monitor if looks grey, because it should look blue. | ||
| Buellnick |
...the motor is gray(ish). ...the frame AND the wheels are diamond blue. |
