In January I bought a salvaged 2008 1125R. I ran the VIN and all recalls had been done and damage was cosmetic. Here is what it looked like when I picked it up...







- Noid was already removed
- Cosmetics were all fixed and broken stock parts where replaced.
- Added Nissin RMC
- Flush Mount signals
- Bar end mirrors
- D&D Slip on
- DEI black header wrap and header wrap paint
- Front and rear sliders from (Blackflash)
- Rear seat pod from (Blackflash)
- Kick Ash windscreen
- Buell stock touch up paint for frame and swingarm
- Satin black krylon and matte clear coats
- Black Buell airbox badges
- City Cross X
- Frame decals from (mattreich4@aol.com)














I still need to do fender relocate and have a few other things in mind. But it is pretty close to done now.

What brand of flush mount signals did you use? And where did you get them?

Looks very good.
I think the matte black goes well with the Diamond Blue.
I went the other way and clear-coated my frame and swingarm to match the shiny black plastics.

If your ears start bleeding from that D&D, the Drummer is a nice pipe that's a bit more civil.

That matte black looks absolutely sick on this bike. You're making me want to strip my plastics off and get them painted!

Tom_c- No problem, I PM'd you with my email address.

Jelomadnes- The signals are from Hotbodies. I can not remember the parts number, but they took some altering to fit. I had to drill a hole in the fairing support. I got them at Cycle Gear

Thanks everyone, I am stoked with it!!
