It looks to me like the spring coils are very spaced apart compared to the ones in my firebolt...

Does the 1125R use titanium springs in the forks?


Also... That bike is just plain cool : ).

No titanium springs, but the 47mm forks use different springs and all other internal parts as well. These forks allowed us to use a completely different more sophisticated damper system than the smaller ones.

Glad you like the bike. It was a lot of hard work for a small team!

Looks like the tail section is metal laced under the fiberglass, any way that the frame from the S will fit back there? I know that peopled have been doing R to S tail changes for a long time. (really want an SX version of the 1125)
