    Hey do you mind holding the firebolt fairing up to the 1125r stay? That's what I'm doing in hopes that it will be slightly angled down I will be doing this in a couple weeks so I'm just hoping to see a test fit since my parts are at home and I'm at school

    Remember the 1125 has a wider neck

    By wider neck do you mean where it mounts to the frame or the two bottom fairing mounts?

    It's wider on the 1125 where the fairing stay mounts to the steering neck.

    Oh I didn't realize that! Thank you, very good to know. You're bike looks great, I can't wait to get mine done! Clear flames windscreen looks sick, also I've never seen a white powder coated swing arm before but I really like it, well done on the whole bike!

    How bad was adding the led conversion and what parts were needed?

    I got a kit off of e-bay. What I did was enlarge the holes with a step bit. Then I ground the grounding tab off of the mounting ring. I took a cut off wheel and modified the led bulbs so they would fit, and still used the factory retaining spring for the oem bulb. If this isn't something you want to tackle, for a few bucks I can do it for you. Pm me with your info and we can work something out. I have 2 more that I have to do for fellow buellers. Just let me know.
