I love those scoops. Would it be possible to modify them to fit on a uly? Thanks.

Those scoops are a chick magnet.

Short answer, no. They are mounted to the motor on the 1125's and the frame has a small cutout in it for the scoop.

Here is a good view of the frame and mounting brackets



Pods rule, air cooled Buell's aren't worth owning anymore.

Interesting. I love the 1125CR. I had wanted one since it came out. But, I am not gonna get rid of my Uly because it is so versatile with the cases on it.

Are those scoops simply that - air scoops, or do they have radiators going on inside them?

They have radiators, springs, plumbing and fans all under it. The split radiator design allows the motor to be pushed forward more for better weight distribution. : )

If my 1125's got 85mpg and the tires weren't $30 each, I wouldn't have a need for any air cooled lump especially the Blast. I would just use it on those rare occasions when I want to heat up my right leg and then have the thing buck when it coughs and seize a wheel bearing.


Oh, and my dentist appreciates not having to replace all my fillings every 2 months now!

I've been looking at them for winter riding on my Uly. I need some more heat.
