Couldn't tell you for sure on the sprocket & rotor for the rear, but you shouldn't have any troubles with the front, since the only change was the caliper (from ZTL to ZTL2).

Wheels and front rotor are the same.

Rear sprockets are different (good bit larger), and the rear rotor is different as well (has extra larger holes in it to allow access to caliper bolts.

Smoke - are you saying the '08 XB rear rotor has the same enlarged holes as the 1125 rotor?

xi1200r,
from the takeoff parts advertised on the ebay and bikes sitting at the dealer the answer is yes they have the larger holes on the rear brake disc.

wheels are the same but the rear rotation is reversed between the 1125R and the XB.

I have a Firebolt and an 1125R and it was one of the first things I checked, I would also expect that all the rear brake rotors are made with the 1125R caliper bolt removal holes so Buell can standardise the parts between XB and 1125R fitments.

Wheel bearings are the same, front brake rotors are the same.
