OK, thought this might be fun, but I know some of you Buellies will get this in micro-seconds. So can you spot the mod on my 2008 1125R? (hint, no I'm not referring to my XB12 pegs).

Wait, the XB pegs DO match up? No mods necessary? Really?! Cool!

The pegs don't bolt right on, about 5 mins with a dremmel and they're perfect, amazing how much more legroom is gained by such a small mod.

OK, I knew it would probably take no time at all & you proved it. Yes, it's the swingarm swap, I still haven't seen anyone else who's done it & posted it up & I found some lessons learned on the way, Erik Buell Racing was once again very helpful in sharing info to help.

I'm going to post details on another thread to make it easier to find for anyone who searches for this mod info.

Cool. I was considering this swap myself. What'd it cost you Dman?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the pods->full fairing mod.

Dman - That is very unique! What are your first impressions after the conversion?
