Current ride: 1125
So been on a couple of trips and would like to have a bit more of a streetfighter riding position, guess i could have bought a different bike but loving the Buell.
This is going to be a bit of a get me over the current issue fix as i have some bigger plans for the future.
Looked a various options but picked using the stock location in the top yoke but make up some bars to use this standard mounting location - could have used some risers but that would have been holes in the yoke so this was rejected.
Borrowed a set of 22mm bars from a mate and set about cutting them up and then welding them back together for what is hoped to be a more desirable position, these are now waiting a some threaded inserts which we will weld to replicate the standard fixing with a 8mm or same size imperial allen bolt.

Looks like i need to tickle up the photos first before i can load them so your just have to use your imagination at the mo.......

Updates to follow :dance:

Thought the 1125 had fat bars 1" 1/8 to 7/8" in which case LSL or renthal would have a bar to suit. They have many rises and pull backs to choose between them.

No standard bars are straight tubes which secure into the yoke a bit like a clipon.

I added a Saddleman seat and lowered pegs instead and it feels great ...can't help but think you would have been better with the CR.
