I picked up 2008 buell 1125r (stock) used from our local bike shop. Love the bike but looking to do some modds, just wanted some opinions... I'm thinking barkers slip-on with a new ecm and a k&n air filter. I only gave $5,800 for the bike with 1100 miles, planning on getting the recals fix fisrt, has anyone delt with appleton and if so are they good people? |

Congratulations on the new bike! Good price! Can't help you with the Dealer, but I am sure someone on here can. |

I put an HMF and a K&N on my '08 1125r and the thing rips. It's a bit loud but looks 110% better than the stock pipe... |

Appleton WI or TN? WI is typically excellent, TN not so much but is improving from what I have read. |

Tbones1125r did you do any mapping or anything after fitting the HMF + K&N ? I fitted the HMF on my 08 but was going to wait until i had fueling checked before adding the filter |

Welcome to the fold. Guess you mean the guys in TN? I know that Bud's in EVV doesn't sell Buells anymore, since 2002 IIRC (I only bought 2 of my 5 from them). Best Buell dealer around IMHO is Bumpus in Murfreesboro, well worth the drive. I'm here 30 miles east of Nashville in Lebanon TN. Give us a shout sometime or I'll wave when i ride by to EVV.

Avalaugh - I did not...IMO, the fuel injection will adjust to the more free flowing pipe and air filter. I see tons of guys remapping and tinkering with the air/fuell mix. I'm the type that, if it works, ride...if I see that it doesn't run as well, then I'll tinker...for now, I just want to ride it...a lot... (Message edited by tbones1125r on February 24, 2010) |
