With mods that is. Some where to feed the necessary 1125 demons and others were for my inner speed demon. The following has been done:

- EBR ECM w/ Keda RT-3 Map
- Keda RT-3 exhaust
- EBR stator/rotor kit (back when they offered it as a package)
- EBR clutch actuator (wish I would have bought the Oberon)
- ASV shorty levers
- Ducati mirrors

I can't speak highly enough about the Keda. Dean really bent over backwards for me and got a pipe to me super fast. It's a so much better than the HMF I installed only three months ago. The stator/rotor kit got installed at 3,000 miles. I'm betting I could take the award for worst looking stator in shortest amount of time. Funny thing is that the majority of the miles were highway, very little city or stop and go traffic. The Duc mirrors are by far the best non-performance mod I've done. They're fully adjustable, low profile, and don't vibrate. I can actually see! I never could get into the looks of the bar ends but I'm digging these. I think I've done everything I need to do for now. Well wait, I could use a belly pan....maybe an EBR front rotor.....A Shorai battery would be nice....I guess it never ends.





Mirror comparison


I installed a F/E kit but the shop wouldn't pass my inspection because I didn't have a plate light. I took the old one and just drilled a hole in the battery tray. Works and looks good


Pretty bad huh?


Ready for the 900 mile trip tomorrow.

Your stock tail light has a license plate light built in, you just have to take a notch out of the plastic below it.

Why would you rather have gotten the Oberon than the EBR clutch actuator/sleeve.
The dreaded clutch weep has just begun to appear on Mr. Buell.

I would not be going on any trip with a stator that looked that bad! Did I misread? Love those saddlebags!

Wow! Great job! The bike looks really good. Not too blingy, just the right amount of mods and dress up.

Thanks for the tip on the battery, I'll look into them. This is my second red Buell and I think I'm going to stick with the color, It really does look great in person. I'm sorry Alaskacr, I couldn't tell you what kind of Duc the mirrors are from. I know they were custom made to fit the CR though. Obviously the stator in the pic was fried hence the EBR kit.

I forgot to mention that I also did a Clubman bar swap. My bike came with the high bars and I must be one of the crazies that prefers the Clubmans.

Thanks for the compliment RB, I'm not really a bling guy. That's part of the reason why I decided against the polished RT-3. I really like the home made race pipe look. It reminds me a little bit of a Termignoni.

Looks good! I love my keda rt-3 as well. Powdercoat your wheels white IMO that looks amazing in the red 1125's.
