All you need now is some 6" over fork tubes.

19" sportster wheel on a zx10r fork with ISR brakes.

haha i know.. before you start hating, i can promise you it will look cool, but of course it will be more of a straight line machine, but the engine is good for that too =)

Perhaps Forward controls, Apes, and Whitewall tires to top it all off?

i do wonder though, if you going to drag race it, why are you putting heavier wheels and brakes on it?

and also giving it more ground clearance...?

I will lower it as much as possible. Brakes i do need since it will be a street bike. The wheels i like the design of but might get some lighter rsd ones instead.

Are you going dual discs in the front? I have a complete front dual disc set-up (calipers, rotors, M/C, and lines) I just took off my 1996 1200S.

No_Rice, I dont want to speak for the man, but I doubt he's planning on dragging it.
He said 'straight line' but I dont think hes building a dragbike
Otherwise forward controls wouldnt be going on there (in my opinion)

Looks like it's going to be a bobber.
I feel bad about painting Loretta a different color(No offense Tim..)

It's interesting and it's yours, enjoy. keep it safe. : )

If I could afford to jack up a ZR1 and put some mud tires on it I would, be one hell of a trail vehicle.

A peanut tank for your airbox?

In my opinion, that tank doesnt work on the bike.
I like that youre doing what you want to do with your bike, and good luck with it all, but putting a sporty tank on the bike just looks way off

I like the way youve modded the front pods

As I said earlier, not my thing, but it is nice seeing something radically different

That actually looks pretty cool Andros.
Gonna be one heluva quick bobber.

You got a bunch of stuff to hide from under the seat.

Hope it turns out like you want.

I'm guessing a lot of stuff will be hid in the airbox.

"You got a bunch of stuff to hide from under the seat. "

Good call
But looking at the photoshop above, maybe a small compartment could be built under swingarm/motor, where the stock exhaust would be?

Battery will be the hard thing



I saw a XB bobber at Smokeout last year, sucks, but I didnt have my phone or camera on me, so no pics
It wasnt what I liked, but it was neat and they did a decent job at it.

Intersting to say the least. Ive always thought and 1125 in a muscle bike/street brawler clothes would be neat - o.

Some what like a fat bob(not V Rod though, yuck) but a lot lighter,get it low, 200 rear, drag bars , etc.

I think BattyOne has posted in the drag section plans to do a nice drag frame powered by an 1125.

Yeh! I like it. I kind of had the similiar plans with an xb frame. I have a 68 T120 I was going to stick in it and put my stock 93 softail springer sitting in the garage on it. Then I got this 1125 and everything else was side tracked. I like thinking outside the box.
