I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the handlebars on an R and if the Rizoma Lux grips would fit.

Thanks

All Buell's (at least XB and newer) use 7/8" bars. Just about any 7/8" grip or other accessory should fit.

sorry the clip ons have a different set up but you can put bars on it I believe you must change the top tree so you can use bars on a firebolt and 1125R respectively

Way to go and confuse everything! : D

All XB and newer models are 7/8". What Brumbear meant to say, the clamp area on the 1125CR bars are 1 1/8", which wouldn't matter anyway.

If you weren't in the forest, no you wouldn't hear it fall. Sound waves are created by vibration, so the tree falling would still produce noise regardless of whether or not someone would hear it.

Color is a derivative of the visible spectrum of light, so if you remove the source of light you remove the color.

Yes you can run dirtbike bars no problem. The clamp area is 7/8" on your bike, so you can run any bar that is 7/8" all the way through without an adapter. Watch out for cable lengths if you got higher. You can reroute the cables to get you some more slack, but if you need a few inches the Ulysses cables will work.
