Hey guys new to the forum and just wanted to post a few picks of my 1125r! Just finished rebuilding the front end due to an idiot running it over in a parking lot. Just wanted to say this forum is awesome, found all the answers to any questions I had using this awesome resource!

The wind screen is a Zero Gravity double bubble and I purchased the mirrors off Ebay from seller (bk-rider) description (Black Arrow Mirrors w/LED Turn Signals 4 Street Bikes) quality is awesome and paid $30 shipped. only issue i had with them is the mounting bolts that came with them were to short but they can be swapped out with longer bolts!

Yeah those mirrors are nice, does it change the flash rate at all ?

Also have you tinted your headlights ?

Very sparkly!

Are the images in those mirrors clear? I'm looking for replacements since the vibratory image mirrors on my cr are most unpleasant. These look like they might be suitable.

Also, Can you please post a pic of the mirrors with the signal lit up?

So I found those mirrors on ebay from the same seller, but the turn signals look to be more towards the top. I really like how your signals are at the bottom. Did you buy a different type or is the picture he has posted just a generic picture and you get the mirrors you have? Thanks b1

Sorry it took so long to reply! The headlights are covered with laminex from amazon another awesome product I used to cover small scratches in the headlights and they come in a variety of colors. As for the mirrors they are a huge improvement from the stock mirrors and the leds did not affect the blink rate! The blinkers may look higher on ebay but once they are mounted on the 1125r they sit a lot lower.

Thanks for the input! Yeah the accident was unfortunate but I was able to replace the bent 1125R forks with the black CR forks which I really like a lot plus I replaced both steering stem bearings during the process and found the lower stem bearing shredded! I would recommend any 1125r/cr owner check that lower stem bearing if they feel any unusual play in the steering stem because they do take a beating!
