This bike is absolutely stunning. Send me your email and I will send you pics. This Buell was originally an 1125CR and as upgraded it makes about 145 HP and weighs about 410 lbs. with a full tank of gas. Improvements as follows: Conversion to R gearing and body work (Original parts to convert to CR gearing available) Custom mounts for Givi hard bags Front wheel from 2014 1190 RX model Front disc from 2014 1190 RX model-better feel Front forks (Showa big piston) from 1190RX model Convertibars an custom brake lines to fit (these are high bars that can be raised or lowered in about 5 minutes) 100% carbon fiber body work from the US and Germany with Ilmberger belly pan - It's mounted right to compensate for the thinner bodywork. I took my time with it. Custom paint job Buell racing exhaust with tuned Buell ECM to match K&N air filter Forged rear wheel from Germany - lighter Brembo big piston rear brake - you actually can feel the rear brake now - better for street Wired for GPS and radar detector (Escort type with water proof box). Plug and play for both. (radar screamer needs fixing but an easy fix and cheap) New sport touring tires - Dunlop Braking rear brake disc - lighter Machined toe pegs made by a friend of mine - easier to get your foot on Corbin seat-much more comfortable on long trips Shorai battery - saved about 7 lbs. Upgraded the alternator rotor to prevent stator burnout and put in new stator. I've put about 2500 miles on it since I did this and Buell reports no failures after this modification. Bigger clutch slave cylinder for easier clutch pull. Aluminum and no corrosion or leaks. Custom made hard bag mounts for Givi hard bags. Very light and come off with 5 bolts. No off the shelf hard bags are available so I had some mounts custom made to fit readily available bags. Throttlemeister throttle lock Zero Gravity sport touring windshield Ohlins steering damper Fender eliminator with turn signal built into rear LED tail light It's got a brand new belt on it. Upgraded Showa shock for the rear-adjustable for compression and rebound damping and preload. Fender eliminator and turn signal integrated into rear tail light. Probably some other things I'm not thinking of. I did all of the work myself (except the paint and bag mount fabrication) so I know it's done right. This is just a great street bike. Comfortable for long trips and fast. 200+ mile cruising range. 11k or best offer. | ||

Lentz, Very nice job...and the result is esthetically pleasing too! I am sure that you already know it is really hard to place a true market value on creations like this even though your asking price sounds reasonable relative to your probable investment. The thought of a mix of these various model Buells has gone thru my mind a few times but I never quite imagined what the result might look like...until now. I would like to see what it looks like with the bags in place if that is possible. So, I am not real familiar with the 1125's. Is the CR gearing higher or lower than the R...and what is your rpm at 70 mph? Thanks...and good luck with the sale! | ||

Been out of town. email me and I will be glad to send a pic to you with the bags in place. The bags don't got with the bike but they are Givi V35s and readily available. The R gearing is higher than the CR. I put it on for better gas mileage but it actually seems to better fit the RPMs I want to run at where I ride. It's a matter of personal preference though as a lot of pure sport riders seem to like the CR gearing better. Thanks for the compliments on the bike. The email is lentz_g@hotmail.com. | ||

I just discovered that the PMs I have been getting regarding this bike have been going to junk mail. If I haven't written you back, try me directly from your email account to my account. I apologize for the inconvenience. |
