Lets start here...





My first 1125! I have already rode 100 miles and i got it this morning at 11a.

My only problem is that i cannot see any of the electronic display. It was fine until the bike heated up. Then the lower half of the cluster condensated on the inside of the lense only where i need to see speed (bc its too easy to go twice the speed limit) temp volt etc...

Now i figure if i leave it in the sun the water/condensation should just cook out of it correct? but how the eff did it get in there in the first place

That black and white scheme looks really good! I wouldn't change a thing. Congrats on the bike and welcome to the fold.

Hey blasted do you think you could do the red and black tail, white with black tail 1125r? I'm thinking of painting mine if you have time thanks if not that's ok. I like the looks of yours the way it is.

you photo choppers!

perhaps the pod lowers flat surfaces blacked out a bit, especially at the leading and trailing lower corners of the pod. nothing but curves that way!

If I can get someone to post pics of my CR I will, but I'll just say that mine was red to start, I matte-blacked the pods to blend/disappear with the frame and that looked LOTS better I felt. I ended up going all new black other parts eventually anyway. But I have to say I'm an orange fan too. Painted my Norton Commando metal-flake orange years ago. Keep it in the kitchen most of the time these days.

Wow the green does look good. Here is a pic of my bike for reference. The wheels and some other pieces are powder coated candy apple green.

I'm getting the speed of color fairings soon and that green might be an option for me, since repowdercoating the wheels will cost around 300 bucks.
Also congrats on the purchase!!

I gotta say, this has GOT to be a one-of-a-kind bike there.



Kickstand on the RIGHT side?

i may just get a vinyl for the lower fairing, it looks good black. i noticed the same thing about the curves while looking at my bike (cant decide on her name yet)

Nick -

For the instrument cluster, if you have a dehumidifier, I'd park the bike right next to it and run it for a day or so...

Color scheme option for those "challenged" by photoshop . . .




Hi-jack over, neat photos of the other schemes.
