Some where I saw an Ohlin steering damper for the 1125. Not the cylinder type but the kind that mounts to the top of the triple clamp. Anybody have any information on this? It's not in the Buell catalog. | ||
| Court |
I posted the photos of the cylinder type Ohlins damper. | ||
| Duggram |
I found a few posts about it but no pics. Monday I'll call Henry and then go to the dealer to order. Thanks. | ||
| Court |
That'd be the best route and Henry will be able to give you a good line on what works and what doesn't . . . . | ||

Here is the link to the pictures Court took. It is the cylinder type: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/383796.html?1218713878 Just scroll down a bit | ||

i sold one of the ohlin ones to a customer a little while ago. havent gotten to hear alot of feedback from him on it but first impression he thought it was a pretty slick setup. i think the one you are thinking of that was posted on her was a a GPR and not an ohlin (Message edited by no_rice on October 19, 2008) | ||

Tim, I want to get one. How do I order through you? | ||
| Krassh |
If you read the post he linked the person ordered it directly from GPR. http://gprstabilizer.com/shopping_sportbikes_buell _xb-firebolt_All | ||
| Duggram |
However, because he was good enough to point them out I thought I would do the good guy thing and buy through him, he is in the business. But thanks for the tip. | ||

Will the Firebolt GPR fit on the 1125? | ||
| No_rice |
i had today off, i will see what i can come up with tomorrow. i also am wondering if the firebolt gpr will fit the 1125. i think it would, but even a small difference may cause a problem so guess i will see if i can come up with an answer to that first! | ||

but it sounds like some have been used on the 1125. the guy i talked to at gpr said he hadnt personally seen one on an 1125, but that they sold a couple to some racers in europe to put on their 1125's | ||
| Edmbueller |
very interesting. I emailed GPR a few days ago but have not seen a response... | ||
| Doerman |
There's a GPR available for the 1125R. The 1125R Antelope Valley HD&B is fielding at Willow Springs is fitted with a an off the shelf product from GPR | ||
| Duggram |
Thanks! Called their parts guy and he's checking with the racers for a part number. | ||

im sure its the one we were talking about already doug. they said that was their only buell stabilizer when i was on the phone with them. | ||
| Duggram |
Tim, you're right. Travis at Antelope Valley HD&B confirmed with their race team on the GPR part number. Thanks all for the help. | ||
| Edmbueller |
Dug - Can you post up the GPR part number to make it a little easier for those of us that would like to call them up and order it? | ||

If some of you are ordering a GPR and contact the company, can I suggest that you mention Eric Pinson's name? Reason is, he's the one racing the 1125R at Willow springs and sponsored by GPR amongst others. | ||
| Duggram |
GPR #5011-4028 same as all the other Buell dampers they offer. Interestingly it's the same as the '01 R1. | ||
| Cataract2 |
How much is the damper for the 1125? | ||
| Krassh |
The GPR part is $495. The ohlins through Buell Racing not sure. | ||
| Duggram |
Buell ~420. The GPR is on top and adjustable while riding. The Buell mounts under the triple clamp. Price and mounting are the only differences I know of. | ||
| Edmbueller |
I think I am sold on the GPR. I work for my local HD/Buell dealer so I would get a discount on the Ohlin's, but it looks to me like the GPR is a better choice. Too bad they don't offer a black / blue unit... | ||

Too bad they don't offer a black / blue unit... you can become a gpr dealer also. thats what i started working on when duggram and i started talking about the gpr one. that way i can just get them when needed. its not extremely hard. plus if i ever make a decision on it for myself then i can just order the damn thing lol |
