There are two batteries available. The more interesting one uses lithium-ion cells to save 9 pounds (!) over the standard lead battery. It starts a 1125 easily. Early samples of it were run in the 1125RR at Mid-Ohio and New Jersey. It's not cheap (I'll let Erik announce his retail price) but it may be the least expensive way to save that much weight with a change that takes a few minutes to make. | ||

The complete racing tail package, including lightweight subframe, battery, undertray, and single-seat, foam-seat-pad bodywork saves roughly 17 pounds. Also, the lithium-ion battery went through a full shaker-test development cycle at Buell; it was intended to be a standard race accessory to be announced at the January 2010 dealer show. | ||

Steve, is this the 1125RR tail or the "Barracuda spy photo" tail? | ||
| Joebuell |
just wanted to add that I really like where this is going.... | ||
| Wkd14u2 |
me to.... as noted above i hope this stuffs avaliable in the UK..  | ||

I didn't realize the stock battery was 12lbs. I'm going to end up saving a lot more weight than I realized. I do know this -- there is a significantly measurable difference in static sag using my light subframe + battery versus what the stock set up was. It's enough I may have to make a modest pre-load adjustment! | ||
| Steve_a |
That's the 1125RR tail; the one from the bike that cannot be named would have been lighter yet. | ||
| Wkd14u2 |
do you guys think that now EBR is up and running that parts from the bike that can’t be named will become available, or does that design/parts belong purely to HD? that tail would be sweet....... | ||

Steve, thank you.  That would be awesome if we could get our hands on the unnamed bike parts, I would love to slap the full fairing setup on my 1125Uly, and the tail section on my lobster 1125CR. | ||

Wow. We've got a bike that cannot be named, a Tune that cannot be named, I'm going to change my username to "Posterwhocannotbenamed" HA! R | ||

Harley would be a good Voldemort - the crap company who cannot be named... Was the tail of the yellow 'cuda (correct code name right?) that much different than ours? Just inquiring - i'm sure everyone has seen the same pics and that's about the extent of the knowledge. Unless Anony wants to post up more info!!! | ||

Was the tail of the yellow 'cuda (correct code name right?) that much different than ours? Totally different. The mounting points are the same. | ||

Oh, sweet! Please, please release it! | ||
| Sl33py |
found the pic again... wow - that would be awesome!! Can't wait to see this on a 25R! Thanks Anony! | ||

i sooooooooooooooooooo hope that section is for sale real soon. come on EBR make my xmas....... Wkd1 | ||
| Mrbikle |
yea really, I have cash in had for that tail! | ||
| 2008xb12scg |
This is going to be expensive. The tv, fridge and bed that the better half wants are going down my priority list... He said XB race parts... | ||

Talk about centralized mass, that tail section looks like it weighs next tonothing. Damn shame.  | ||
| 186bigtwin |
Does anyone know for sure how they got the extra 65cc's? Slight bore and stroker crank or stroke only? | ||
| Smoothrod |
Im guessing stroke only, maybe 1/8???? | ||
| Cafefun |
Just incase someone cares, speedcell already makes a light weight battery that has no trouble starting Busa's and ZX 14's. it's around 250 so I will weight and see what EBR battery price is and decide which one to get. | ||
| D_adams |
Stock bore/stroke is 103 mm/67.5 mm Increase by bore by 3 mm gets you 1191 cc displacement. I would guess bore only, with either larger cylinders or bore it out. Not sure if it's a coated cylinder or not, haven't actually looked at one yet. Just for reference, longer stroke would take 4 mm to equal the displacement, so stroke would be at 71.5 mm with a 103 mm bore. Much easier to do bore than stroke. Swap out pistons and cylinders, no changes to the head/cam chain/cam, etc. Just need oversize gaskets. | ||

So will a stock 1125 seat fit the yellow tail? I'm a tall guy, I love the fact it has a 'ramp' instead of a 'wall' behind the driver...and I can't tell in the pic - is that a pillion? Or a black painted piece meant to look like a pillion? Make mine solo, in black please | ||
| Blackflash |
I though the rr had cams and a airbox mod.So just buying the 1190 kit would put you at roughly 155 hp with stock stuff I would guess. 146 divided by 1125 =.1297 hp per cc x 1190= 155.I think that would be close. | ||
| 186bigtwin |
It must have some max effort head work, Buell is claiming 185 RWHP. That's a pretty hard claim, He ( Eric ) would have to back it up with hard numbers or loose all respect in the consumer ( privateer ) racing world. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
All that body work, fairing, tail etc in yellow for the bike in the pic would look sweet with the blue frame on my 08 r. | ||
| Rfischer |
"...hard claim" Not really; the full-on Ducati 1198RR's make that. No reason a similar displacement Buell can't as well. As with the Ducati, it will be at the outer limits of its capability however. For a further reference, when we [Highland Grp.] developed our new 450 race motor we got 69 WHP out of it, similar specific power output per measure of displacement; the design architecture of that motor is very much like the Buell 1125, simply in a single cyl. rather than twin cyl. configuration. | ||

Short of creating a new thread, I'll post here. I think it generally goes with the direction of this thread. For sale: New Buell Racing Battery Pan. See more in Classifieds. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 519345.html?1259947482 |
