What is all the stuff you have mounted in the cockpit? I see the zumo, but what is the other stuff?

Thanks Guys it is a work in progress,

above the tach is an eclip shift light volt meter I bought from Al at American sport bike,

to the right of the gps is a coin bill holder for tolls and forgot were I got it but works good,

to the left of the gps is a container that holds windshield washer fluid or soapy water but that freezes so I got antifreeze windshield washer fluid and has a sponge and a rubber wiper for cleaning shields,

above that is were I plug into my heated gear and is wired to the accessories outlet,

the gps is in a motocross mount that is suppose to mount up to the 1/2 inch cross bar but got it on a rod that goes thru the steering stem and is lockable, both the face shield cleaner and and the gps mount is from aerostich,

I highly recommend there catalog and with an order you can ask for this little book, it is called lightweight unsupported motorcycle travel for the terminal cases it cost five buck and is a book on touring the back roads with a bike like a buell blast,

they have allot of bike things you will not find any were else but some things are expensive and you can find them some were else,

even has the garage door opener someone is asking about.

as you can see not allot of carrying capacity so this is why I want the heated jacket liner, it cuts down on the amount of clothes I need to bring with me for all temperature riding like in the mountains.

any questions just ask.

they are Chase Harper stealth saddlebags I think Motorcycle warehouse has them for 130, but can find them any were,

Do a google search of chase harper stealth saddlebags and you should be able to find them if not I can just let me know. look for the best price and free shipping,

allot of work went into finding just the right bags for the bike and thought these looked the best but did not know into I got them on and I like them, they also come with a very good warranty even if you wipe out I think they fix or replace them.

Mike, Dude, What do you concentrate on when you ride???

Just funnin ya! Looks to be put together well.

Are the bags removable? What sort of mounting do they use if they do?

I have a one track mind all I think about is bikes and bikes and more bikes,

and how to make the bikes better,

and were to ride the bikes,

what to wear while riding the bikes,

what accessories I need for the bikes,

it just never ends.

I guess I sound like a drug addict now with bikes as my drug?

I do ride with music and riding alone with the music playing it is just awesome when I am in the zone and feels like true freedom that you just do not have when riding with others,

I also like riding with the NEBO guys when there is just a small group, I like to be last and follow the guys around, they know some nice places to ride and were it is safe to ride fast.

Anyway the way I have the bags mounted they can not be removed,

they have two straps on top that use velcro, which is suppose to go over the plastic tail and can cause damage but they also give clear paint protection sheets that you can cut and put in the places that the straps would rub against

I wanted a cleaner look and not someone can take off my bike easy so I took the plastic body work off and made some small notches in the seat pan for the straps just to give a little extra space so the plastic tail goes back on good,

there is to other mounting straps on the bottom corners with those plastic snap things,

the bags rest against the heel guards so I turned them around so the bags would go in a little more and is not in these pictures I did this yesterday,

the front strap goes to the riders heel guard and the rear strap is not really needed but I have it going to the passenger pegs legs.

These bags are not water proof the only drawback besides being small.

The bike is half done, I want a sport tourer/track bike so I have more to do to get it there, and I would like a tank bag but it has to match the other bags and have a couple of idea's but looking at the bike I do not know if one will look good on it.

I would like to see everyone posting pictures of there bikes and what they do to it.

Warp speed number one....Holy Scnikes your cockpit looks like the deck of the Enterprise. Those bags look really good on there. I hope my S-1 bags work on my "25r" as good as yours look.

What did you end up paying for the Ztechnik storage pod? Found one on eBay for 129.95. Good price or a little high? Found the Chase Harper Stealth bags online already for 119.95 and ordered them. Got my 1" drop billet pegs mounts with LSL round pegs from Al at American Sport Bike today and put them on.

Thanks,
Ken

I think that is what I paid for the storage pod and I think you got the bags a little cheaper than me.

Just remember how much time it took me to figure out what bags would look the best,

I thought about it really allot like a month or two of looking and thinking,

I am glad you like them.

I got a rear seat of ebay just for the plastic piece and bolted the bag to it.

I want to paint the bike to but that will have to wait till the end of the season, I can do air brush work and can do art work but never painted a bike so hopefully I can trick out this bike really nice,

I bought it because it is the first of its kind and it is a 25th Anniversary model and plan on keeping it for a long time,

I also got a blast I might work on and my son wants me to work on his ulysses, I will try to get a picture of my bagger I use to have and post it if I can usually they are to big, maybe have Neil post it.

Thanks Mike,

Beautiful Bagger. If you did all the work on the bagger like the Buell you definitely have an eye for style. Thanks for doing the hard work on the good looking bags for the 1125R.

Thanks Krassh I did everything and the hardest part was welding the gas tank,

I thought I was going to blow my self up.

I do not like anyone touching my bike.

I do everything possible unless it is a warranty issue and my bike is in the shop now and I feel weird it not being here,

I hope it is the last time it is going to the shop forever.

I figure it this way why pay someone to screw up my bike when I can do it for free.

Just found a storage pod from Ztechnik for $99.95 on eBay with free shipping, now just have to pick up a spare passenger seat to bolt it to like you did and I am set.

Kraaah You got a really good deal on the bags I am wondering how good of deal you got on your bike,

I got my bike for 11,500.00 out the door with a few things thrown in on the deal.

I got some other good things I am adding to the bike and will post pictures next month.

Your welcome Krassh, they have a pretty good warranty and even if you wipe out they will repair or replace them,

I guess I got lucky with them and there fit and looks,

I did do allot of research before buying them and was not sure until I got them and then knew they would be good.

I am doing some other mods and hope to post pictures late april if all goes good.

Mike
