Just put my deposit down today, trading in the Firebolt... will my Buell tank bank and Firebolt tailbag fit the 1125R?

Yes...I am still waiting for an 1125r tailbag (or something that doesn't have FIREBOLT in rainbow colors across it.) Hopefully soon and hopefully good looking (as much as a tailbag can be.)

I really liked the profile of the the Firebolt tailbag (the one that isn't expandable) & I thought about marking it out too--but common sense got the better of me. Patience is a virtue. Also, I think American Sport Bike might be coming out with a higher profile pillion cover that will allow more storage--hopefully something larger than the stock cover but not 'Busa-big. It will allow for at least cover attachment without the pillion seat stuffed in there, which will be an improvement already. Check with American Sport Bike to confirm.

Fresno -

The expandable tail bag doesn't have "Firebolt" written anywhere on it, just a blue Buell logo.

I really like mine.

I was referring to the one that is not expandable, XL1200. I believe the one EDM is talking about is discontinued, although you can still find them around.

I have the expandable one for my S, and I like it too. Tith the lack of storage space it is almost a necessity on a long ride if you want to avoid the backpack route.

I found a nice tail bag shaped like the cowl of the rear of the bike, I got a used seat from ebay took it apart and bolted the bag to it now I have a large tail bag that looks good, hold allot and is lockable.

I just used a roll of film today and need to get it developed in the next few day and I will post them.

The one I have is expandable and just has a Buell oval logo patch. It will look fine on the 1125R I think, I just wanted to know if the cowl was the same size as a Firebolt thanks guys! The extra storage it provides is just enough for tooling around town...

Oh and Bagger mike....what is "film" lol
