Spent most of the winter making a new set of panel work for my 1125,

Nose fairing,with no screen or lights.
Lower fairing panels.
One piece "outlaw" seat unit and Airbox cover.


Also running a standard ecm with a few minor modifications-done with ecmspy-for mono- Gives a much nicer bike to ride than the TM stg1 and no more tps resets.

Got the ecm controlling shiftkill too.

Despite traction issues ran 10.06 @134.5.-60' a tenth down on last year.Plenty more to come,no ignition changes and only a touch more fuel than standard.

wow!
only "complaint" that I have with it, and its 1125s in general, is the lack of a belly pan. But I really like what youve done here! It does look sharp!

just noticed your pegs, love it! With those are you able to toe to the stage lights with feet touching the pegs?

I could but I had to rotate them back a bit,thanks to my knees hitting the fairing lowers.

Hopefully with the whole nose adjusted forward and down I'll be able to put them back.

If I can get a chain tensioner sorted I should be able to lower the whole bike an inch or two as well.

I made a "blank" mock up of the seat unit. Using portions of a standard seat unit.
Once the blank was perfect I made a mould and there you have it.Sounds simple took me months to do.

My version in the pics is bonded to a fibreglass airbox cover,making a one piece unit.

Can make some for sale,also getting color matches done for black and white 1125s.
Not going to be cheap though.
