HAHA, well If it fits it fits ;)
So what size is my belt? I do not see it written on it, and I'm not gonna sit here and count the teeth, also... it fits. So I'm gonna roll with that until their is a problem. I want to convert to a...

So what I assume is the stock front pully and stock belt... not sure, but they look stock? I do not know front pully or belt size.
I put the XB12R rear pully on, disconnected...
I think you said you had an 1125r pully, Those are a bit larger, bunch more teeth I believe. The XB12R is only a 4 tooth difference... Ill try it after I get the bolts so that I can attach a handle...
I did end up buying that X1 race kit that was on Ebay for a while.. I am happy with the purchase... I do need a new K&N filter for it.... so if you have a fresh one, I will take it. this one is just...
after that I just bolted it all in place. Like I said, I do not have any real plans yet for the front, that is my next project I think, not sure.

Yes, I gathered that Marc is a good guy, even though I only spoke to him on email he was communicative and smart. Many craftsmen have terrible email/text skills and often leave you wondering or...
Gonna mock up the whole bike before I do any major moves in the looks department....

sold locally to a guy who already has an 1125r
..... yes, but in general when speaking about reliability, why would it be any different than a sportster? ... and in theory if you were very familiar with sportsters, an X1 would be a very easy...
I'm pretty new to Harley's, but it should be just as reliable as any used Harley Sportster, just way cooler. They are basically just a sportster in a sportbike frame.
Their are other differences,...
I drive my BMW GS most days. The Buell is just gonna be my fun little bike for nice weather and short rides.
So I may sell the forks and rims, but I also have a couple other bike projects... I may use the forks on my XS650 Café Racer. But If I do decide to sell I will certainly post it on this site.

starting point....
here are a list of problems:
- oil leak up front somewhere
- wayyy too loud, has Vance's and Hines, no baffles whatsoever.
- runs terribly (last guy said he...
More details and assumptions about the 1125r:
I got the bike from a guy who said he rebuilt the rear cylinder. He said that after that the stator came loose and got destroyed.
So I replaced the...
Bought an 1125R not running and a running X1 at the same time. I am planning on putting the forks and rims from the 1125r onto the X1. it is a shame to sell the 1125r, but my heart just is not in...
Very common practice to sand shims down if they are close to the size you need. We just used the same stone that we used to finish heads. If it is a shim under bucket, no worries at all. Shim over...
I do not know any easy fits for the forks on an 1125. But their are 3 ways that Ive seen it done.
1. you are a machinist and have mills and lathes and you don't need me to tell you anything!
