Just my oppinion...I cant say I like the looks of the fairing...I know the fairing will fit very nice, but i can't say "i gotta have it"...

Just my opinion...

Please post some "clear" pics after you install...or maybe even take pics as you install to show others that are interested as to how easy they are to install.

The folks at my dealership are excited for the ship date as well. The owner asked me if I was going to try using them in conjunction with the belly pan... Any thoughts on using the kit with the Buell Racing Belly pan as well?

Have to agree with johnnysunami on this one. i think the fairing kinda ruins the whole buell image of the 1125r. i mean when the bike first came out alot of your crotch rocket enthusiasts scoffed at it and said it was ugly or stupid lookin with those pods on it. that is until it blew by them on the track and blew those fairings off their bike, lol. would still love to see pics tho of the finished product cuz its nice to see what others do to theirs. i know some may disagree with me but its still my opinion. good luck with the update.

I installed a set on a 2008 1125R. I've linked the pictures from the main website's rights side column. If you want any more pictures; let me know. Install took about 45 minutes.

Nice pics Kutter.

I wonder if this would work with my Airtech fairing and bellypan on my race bike.

It does have 2 bolts on the bottom of the fairing that you could adapt to your belly pan. The good part is the brackets are there to keep everything in-line.

Got mine installed last night. I'm still on the fence about whether I like it or not. From front angles it looks good. However, when you're behind the bike it is obvious that they are covers. IMO they could have done a cleaner job on the edges instead of the cut plastic look. I'll post some pics up later.

Pick up some black trim edging, they self adhere, this will clean up the edges nicely.

We just got these in from Buell and put them on one of our floor models. This kit was very easy to install (about an hour without having ever seen one). The kit was very good quality and goes on over the existing 'pods' and turned out nicely. I'm thinking of ordering one of my own.

Will they fit with the Buell race exhaust? Looks like they would but if anybody knows, thanks.
