Buell 1125 or Ducati 999?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah I was so keen to get going I didn't actually ask himm about all that!
I will maybe look at doing something to the muffler down the track, It is a hideous beast of a thing but for all that not particularly visible!
The Saron one I looked at looked like a homemade one. Styling wise I mean. It was loud tho!

I'll look into it for you mate...but I don't recognize the bike.

My mate had one of these and this is what he did....

HMF slipon from Ebay
PC5
Eric Buell Racing ECU

In hindsight he'd have put an Autotone on the PC5. Cleaned it up no end.

Cheers Pete, we have a Harley shop here in Whangas who should have access to the upgrade gubbins too I guess?

Yean mean Shaw? Dunno they will have if so.

[Laava]

Yes them. You don't sound confident?

I'm sure they're fine mate. Just not shaw (see what I did there) they'll have the right gear.

Congrats on the purchase...right move indeed.

Recommendation for an exhaust? Barkers from ebay and an EBR ecm...will make the bike totally different.

Look at a saddleman sport or tech seat as well...

Give me a yell if you need any more info.........

PS also look at joining Buell riders NZ..great club with this year's rally at kawhia

Thanks dude I will scout the forums and see how I go first. Was a big weekend all in all. Then I got home and it was raining so we didn't go for our usual sunday ride!

.

I've dug out a genuine 2010 1125R manual if you want it mate? I'll cost you a beer should our paths cross again!

Just give me your postal addy and I'll get it to you.

I owe you a beer or two Pete

A couple of weeks down the track and I have struggled to find great riding time but have been out and did a 300km ride weekend before last. Bars are getting changed first and I will see if i can move the instrument cluster into my field of vision. Still trying to get it to run nice down low and have done a TPS reset to no noticeable diff. It is actually possible to do a TBS [throttle body sync] but it is not set up to have this adjusted easily but I know how much diff it made to my V strom so may persevere. I need to get e re-flash done to the ecu as well. It is still putting a smile on my face. Esp when overtaking.

So not having ridden either I must ask, which one handles like a vagina?

define.

better in the wet?

good in the tight stuff?

difficult to find the starter button?

etc...

If it hasn't has the ecu updated in the last year then you'll be surprised at the change.
