I was told there is no race kit for the 1125. Call Henry Duga. He likes to talk about this stuff.

Shoot Glendale HD/Buell a note. They have an deal with Catalyst Racing Composites. Otherwise, you have to call Duga but remember, ANYTHING you order from Buell Racing has to be ordered and received by a dealer. You cannot order directly EVEN WITH a racing license. The racers that get parts off the van still have to have a sponsoring dealer who gets the bill - but that being said, Henry is very helpful though you may save a little time and headache for him if you have your dealer call since he'd have to order it for you anyway.

(also, I just don't think Buell Racing is offering full bodywork just yet - you'd need to go to Catalyst, Shark Skinz, and that Canadian company that made Ruthless Racing/Deely bodywork)

Buell did indicate there were "over 500" racing parts that would be coming for the 1125R.

Be fun to call Suzuki . . . tell them you are a customer and ask to speak to the head of racing.

At Buell you simply get patched through . . . be curious to see how it'd be received other places . . .

Does Suzi sell race kits for their GSXR1000?

Yes they do, as does Yamaha, Kawasaki & Honda. You may get blank looks at your local dealer, but they are available and extremely comprehensive, covering engine, chassis, specialist tools and even downloads of technical manuals etc(depending upon bike/model/series spec of course), not just a loud pipe.

Take a look here at the Yamaha offerings for example: http://www.yamaha-racingparts.com/

Buell will be offering a significant number of race parts for the 1125, everything you need for a number of different classes. The very first and best upgrades are the 2015 racing brake pads, which have proven to work on racing 1125s at hard-on-the-brakes tracks such as Daytona and Elkhart; they're available now. After that there is a chain-drive kit, which is more than 30 parts itself. It is designed for quick wheel changes; an experienced endurance racing team can get the rear wheel changed in less than 10 seconds with the kit parts. The first batch of these sold out; a second batch is being made now. The race ECM is available now if you have a racing license; engine parts are coming. Full fairings in carbon and glass will be available this fall. The GP shift kit is currently in stock, as is the steering damper kit.

Where do I get the part number from for these parts. most of the dealers over here are not that helpful , so tend not to look to hard. and how do i get in touch with Henry Duga.}

Call Trevor @ flexiglass in Vancouver Canada. He does fiberglass for the Canadian National team and us. Carbon is good if you have a big wallet and NEVER crash.

Hi Anonymous:-)
That is great to here that Buell Racing has already sold a batch of chain conversion kits.
I'm in Australia and still trying to get an idea of pricing for one, any clues as to how much US$ ? Also does the GP shift require a change of shift drum or just the index shim? I am under the impression it will give me a 6 down race pattern?

How much is the Gp shift kit? This is available to the general public? Where can I buy it?
