I thought if I posted to an archived thread it would bring it into the current bunch. nope. Sooooo... My latest mod - I put a piece of black plastic over the wiring mess and added a DashBuell.
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/331580.jpg) Most of the day Saturday was picking up a very old GE Atomic Hydrogen Welding Torch from a retired aircraft machinist. I can't wait to get it hooked up and start playing with it. He says with some practice I can weld anything from tin-cans to frame members, out of almost any metal. It has the weirdest hand-piece I've ever seen. Z |

You might lose your dash ornament if you do a big wheelie! |

It's hot glued on; heated the fairing support, die-cast Buell and plastic sheet with a hair dryer, then hot glued it. The XBR is there for a reason... Shows it's heritage. Where some see the 1125 as fragmented in design, I see it as an evolutionary step. This IS what my XB9R always wanted to be when it grew up. Z BTW, the 1125 looks really mean if you take the fairing off. It's not hard to imagine a "Street Fighter" without it. (Message edited by zac4mac on January 20, 2008) |

I ordered this one online, don't remember where. I also have a white one, like my old 9R, that one of our designers got at a seminar by Erik, in Aspen a few years back. The Welder

![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/331657.jpg) Any info would be appreciated. Was afraid it was 3-phase but it's not, and I have 220 in my garage. I will be able to play sooner than I thought. Zack |

Got the solution to a black, cool heatshield. Thought about it after reading a few posts on the thermodynamics of black body emissivity, yah, here on BadWeB. I painted the outside with black 1200˚ BBQ paint(just in case) after a coarse black bead blast. The inside, I hit on the cotton wheel at work with some rouge to a high polish and finished any missed spots with a dremel. Checked it right after riding and the top was warm, mid to bottom was cool. Don't touch the screws tho, they'll sizzle spit. Z |

The Tail-end is done, for now anyway. The signals are sent off to a fellow BadWeBer in New York. The aluminum plate is finally fit, sanded and polished and I got long enough screws for the force spreaders on the license plate mount.

The tail-light is a sealed LED custom from Robert Hall at XB Lights. I also took off the passenger pegs and cut some aluminum channel for caps. The back end is very clean now.

Z: Your rear end is really cleaned up (on your 1125r that is ) I like the license plate bracket, clean lines and simple. Time2Work Neil S. |
