I see you used the SS tail, I need the same adapters you used to get them to mount up, I got a similar project for a 1125Uly : )

there is no adapters. you have to cut it apart and add some in. it was a bit of a pain.i have a lot of hours into welding it all together. i did not want to use any adapters, i wanted it to look like it was from the factory like that.

thanks shawn

The pods are the best part, where did you think they stored the extra 43 hp? : )

looks cool. The only thing I do not like is the handlebars with the top bar on it. Other than that it is a sweet bike.

"The lightning that they should have built"
I totally agree. Never thought the Firebolt tail looked good on the CR.

Not sure if I like that. Hell of a good job building it though.

I like it! The scoops kill me though. I know there is not much that can be done about them, although I have heard rumor of some European aftermarketeers that have made them smaller...

thank for the compliments. i hate the pods also, but what do you do. i am going to swap the bars out for something else. the cr high bars will not fit in the xb clamps. there will be a few more changes to it also, just some little detail work.

thanks shawn

I admire the effort, but the shape of the pods doesn't flow right to my eye.

I agree that you did a great job but the pods don't work for me either. Again, nice bike though.

On a side note...how loud is that thing? What exhaust is that?

it looks like a black coated D&D exhaust to me

I think with these pods and chin spoiler it would be the lightning I always wanted.



can somebody photoshop a lightning tail onto this for me?

Painting the seat rails blue was a nice touch. I always liked Erik's "black and blue" theme.

i wanted the pods in the pic above, but they said you will have over heating problems, and they are $1000

Even with the pods I think it looks great-like an evil insect about to attack! I'd love to see an xt tail grafted on.
