directly fresh from xborg (ahhhh german people do it really good), a very good mix between 3 generations of buell. Nice work! (I thin this was an R in origin...)    | ||

that tail looks good on there, really good. IMHO thats what the stock CR needs to be complete. | ||
| Carbonbigfoot |
WWWwwow! That's, that's just. Just, perfect. Very well done. Where do I hang my saddlebags? Seriously, I have always liked the Lightning tail vs the Firebolt/1125 tail. Good work! | ||

They beat me on the finishingline. Who is the owner of the bike? Any contact info? | ||

Andros, i'm always checking a lot of european boards for news and ideas. In particular, the xborg is the german buell board. I studied german, so I don't have too much problems.. but I haven't the time to read or translate the page.. so for what is worth, here's the 3d: http://www.xborgforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=182 17 this might be usefull too: http://www.buellforum.eu/ | ||

Very cool! One question- where's the taillight? | ||
| Xnoahx |
No tail light, just a GIANT license plate. Looks like that thing could hold a rack of ribs! Tail looks perfect. I would prefer the stock CR headlight. I would also be interested to see all the electrics under the seat. (Message edited by xnoahx on August 08, 2009) | ||

these are the normal plates in germany.. | ||
| No_rice |
i knew the tail would look fine. and it wouldnt be as difficult as people are thinking i would bet. but the headlight setup just does not work for me. but its not mine so as long as the builder likes it more power to him. | ||

It's an 08 R - Diamond Blue frame. edit> An early one at that, it has a RevA clutch cover. I think it must have a taillight, it does have a set of micro-signals... Kellerman's? CR should have come out with THAT tail. awesome mod. Z (Message edited by zac4mac on August 08, 2009) | ||

Those license plates are very unfortunate. Someone in the German gov needs a good talking to.  | ||
| Johnnymceldoo |
Finally! Looks just as good as I thought it would. CR or XB headlight would do it better IMO though. Looks great though. | ||

any one speak german would love to get a shot side on, just wanna see how far it comes over the rear wheel, its the one thing holding me back from doing this. i know exactly what needs to be done, just gotta order the side rails, either the SS or the S. depending on length (Message edited by lunatic on August 08, 2009) | ||

I like the Cyclone headlight and eyebrow. Of course, I owned an M2 Cyclone once, so maybe I'm prejudiced. | ||
| Xnoahx |
Google speaks german and it has translators for entire web pages or just text you enter | ||
| Andros |
Hey lunatic! I have all the parts and im ready to do this. What ideas and thoughts do you have about making this mod? I woul love to collaborate with you on this. | ||
| Xb9er |
that is sweet. I think the m2 round headlight really gives it that cafe look. I see it has a Remus pipe. Does anyone have one or know about them? Sound good? To loud? To soft? Just right? Need any AFV changes? Bolt on and go? | ||
| Ziomeme |
Andros, Lunatic, I'm with you in this adventure. I'm trying to contact Maik, XBCRM2 owner. He said it's that it's a preliminary step, he had to finalize this modification. As soon I've further information I'll inform the forum. Salut | ||
| Txfuzz |
What kind of exhaust is he runnin? | ||
| Xb9er |
Remus pipe | ||
| Andros |
Ziomeme and lunatic. Lets do this. I think its a matter of fabbing a set of brackets for each side and possibly shaving a bit off the right side rail to make room for the shock. I would give my right arm for close ups of those brackets and their mounting. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Looks to be an S tail. To me, an SS tail might look better. | ||
| Lunatic |
yeah as i have said in my previous posts, the bottom holes will line up, might need to drill out right side top hole on the rail a little as it is only a few mil out. fab a bracket for the left side. reverse the bolt holding the shock. shave the right side so shock will not hit. if anyone can get a side shot from the owner that be great | ||
| Teddagreek |
Seems like you'd shave some weight as well.. | ||
| Ziomeme |
Probably at the end of frame modification it's necessary to modify the seat to adapt its adding something in front and down side and rebuild the cover, it will be a long work  Salut | ||
| Teddagreek |
| ||
| Lunatic |
omg that seat is awesome. is it a SS tail, looks it. love the seat aswell. dunno bout that exhaust tho. | ||
| Andros |
Hey ziomeme! Maybe you can get Maik to take some pictures of the rails with out the seat on and pictures under seat of all the electrics. | ||
| Ziomeme |
Andors, I've already contacted Maik, I'm waiting for more detailed pictures and some information about "how to do". Teddagreek, where to find more information about red CR, it seem like inside a dealer... Salut | ||
| Andros |
Hey ziomeme, thanx! Lets keep each other posted. As i wrote earlier, as soon as we have some more info from Mike i can start on the tail swap. I have everything and its ready to go! I'll take tons of pictures! |
