Author Message   M33ufo Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - 04:38 pm:        Hi guys, I've just ordered a 1125R and I'll be taking delivery early March. I had a brief flirtation with an XB12 3 or 4 years ago and loved the handling but found the power a little lacking. Having just sold an 08 BMW K1200S I fancied something a little different - hence the Buell. I'm hoping for some advice on a few basic extras - exhaust, crash mushrooms, tank protector etc. What are the preferred manufacturers and suppliers? Ideally in the UK of course. Are there any other "must have" options I need to consider? Many thanks.

Crash mushrooms - ? - assuming you mean sliders. Matt carries them from Dark Horse Moto I believe, so you should be covered there. Check out his site & go from there and welcome to the madness.   M33ufo Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - 05:13 pm:        Much appreciated, I'll go take a look   Dhdjr Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - 08:59 pm:        Here's another good one: http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/   Rockstarblast1 Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - 11:32 pm:        why are there no places in the usa that makes stuff for this bike really? i mean can us that live here in the us order stuff from here? how do we convert the $ amount? i mean this is an american bike it kinda confuses me   Carbonbigfoot Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 12:15 am:        Like P squared said.... Welcome to the madness. Rob   Ccryder Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 12:34 pm:        Hmm, take a look at American Sport Bike, you know that one that has the banner on a page or two ;+} Al and Joanne know Buells and live them. Later Neil S.   P_squared Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 12:45 pm:        American Sport Bike, Dark Horse Moto, Precision Engineering, JT&S, GrandStandDesigns, and a whole lot of other sponsors. Go check them out. They're here in the US. If you never have, spend some time 'cruising' the sponsor links. You might be pleasantly surprised with what you can find. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/171 43/17143.html?1235583212   Jjr1125 Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 12:52 pm:        M33UFO, Take a look at the seat retention system from American Sportbike. It is the best $20 I have spent on the 1125R.   Sportster_mann Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 02:50 pm:        M33ufo, get yourself to www.ukbeg.com and sign yourself up - there are a few UK owners on there.   M33ufo Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 03:51 pm:        Thanks guys, that's just what I've done. Cheers for the assistance.
