Mcrbuelligan, the swingarm of CR and R are not the same... I don't remember now, but R is longer (few cm) than CR. The sprocket is different, CR bigger than R (Message edited by Ros on September 16, 2011) | ||

i stand corrected the swingarms are different, according to wiki the CR is longer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buell_Motorcycle_Comp any#1125R | ||

Depending on which bars you use you'll also need the "high bar kit" (extended throttle line and clutch line). For the gearing the cheapest option is to get a custom idler wheel made up (do a search you'll see there were some being offered). Different belt, different pulley, different idler wheel....or (much more expensive) swingarm. If you use the CR top tree you'll need to mount the IC on there instead of the current mount (if you want to do the full look of a CR) you'll also need to decide what to do with the ignition switch and decide if you want to buy the CR shroud that hides it.. It's quite a bit more work than you might think if you want to do a 100% match.. (Message edited by Jules on September 16, 2011) | ||

Be careful when quoting the wikipedia on Buell related things, there are many inaccuracies and every time someone fixes one, someone undoes it. Either way, yes the CR swingarm is longer.  | ||

I think he is just going for the CR look, not a complete R to CR conversion guys. | ||

i have the shroud for the ign switch and am running renthal bars with an adaptor to run 1 1/8 bars, changing the gearing looks to be kinda outta my price range right now i scored the headlight assembly from a wreck we had to repair at my work | ||

just out of curiosity is it me or do these risers look like they fit 1 1/8 bars already? |
