You are likely going to have to have somebody fab one for you. The chain conversions do enable longer wheelbase but if you still need longer, you can call Hals since in addition to roadracing, they drag race AND do fabrication.

I've seen a picture of the XB-R with the SS (longer) swingarm.

I really liked it! It had the OEM look, with just enough of an extended swingarm to be able to notice it.

It's not for me... but just something to think about.

Would changing the swing arm take alot of work? You would probily need the belt and stuff off the SS. Do you think it would affect the handling much? I would like to see a pic.

You would need the swing arm, belt, belt guards, possibly the shock, possibly oil lines, maybe a part or 2 I can't think of off the top my head.

The SS was the bike they released for the guys who were to big for the original S.

Then came the TT, same frame, then the Uly.

.....first came the firebolt, then the lightning and finally the uly.

now we have the 1125r, the 1125cr, what's next? the 1125x? seems logical.

Yes, Buell wants me to buy a CR, customize it, make it blue, put the Uly tail on it, then 2 months later come out with it as a standard model.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

Isnt the actual frame on the Ss longer as well? I know they hold more fuel, do they hold more oil too?
