Those wheels are made by an Italian company called Marchesini, they are made out of aluminum, the rear wheel measures 5.5 inches wide by 17 inches in diameter, the front wheel is also 17 inches in diameter but 3 inches wide, they are painted gold at the factory, you can get quite a few different colors if you want.

Joe, thanks for your inquiry ( don’t know if your serious or joking), but with the suspension, tuner, exhaust and lightweight aluminum wheels, I probably have more than 18 thousand into that bike, I got it to where it truly is dialed in to my liking so I don’t think I’ll be selling it anytime soon. If your serious…shoot me an offer, you never know..

Frank, Thank you for the kind words, they are appreciated. Regards

@@royvazquez1244 My pleasure Roy and I'm LunaticFringe on the XR board.

Bill, that is an after market air box from Twin Motorcycles in The Netherlands, it’s called the HPA airbox (high performance airbox), quite a few years ago, they were about $400, don’t know what they sell for now. Do you have an XR1200?, are you thinking of doing some mods to it?

@@royvazquez1244 I don't have one yet, but i'm on the lookout as I shuffle play funds around. I think I may do a cam change with some beefier valvetrain parts, like to see 110 rwhp.

Chris, from day number 1, I found the suspension on my 2009 model was severely lacking, so I sourced a set of Big Piston Forks from the X model xr1200x, I then sent those forks to a suspension shop in North Carolina, USA where some additional magic was performed. They upgraded the fork pistons from new ones from a Italian company called Andreani, and new Ohlins springs and fluid, after these upgrades were performed, the bike handled soooo much better, like it was on rails, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video, I invite you to join us over at XR1200ownersgroup.com, a great source of information, if your interested.

Thank you for watching my video

Ronaldo, the stock shocks on all XR1200 is 14 inches (measured from eye to eye). I replaced the stock shocks with ones that are 16 inches, eye to eye, from a company called Ohlins, the model number is 852. It made a huge difference in the handling of the motorcycle, like it’s on rails! Thanks for commenting on my video 🙂

J. Thank you for the kind comment, I appreciate you for saying that. The bike is like a piece of clay to a sculpture, you mold it to get the final result you’re looking for

Thanks for your comment, I really like how it turned out.

You can order them from Corbin in California, USA.

Jim, thank you for your comment, one question for you…why so little miles on it? I invite you to join up over at the XR1200 Owners Group site and place a classified ad over there for your bike, post up some pictures of your bike and a good description, it’s winter time here in the northeast, so you might have better luck when Springtime comes around. Regards Roy

@@royvazquez1244 it was a barn find. An older gentleman bought it hoping to race it. He got some sort of health condition that caused his early death. His wife kept it in the garage. Years later she had some work done in her house. The contractor seen the bike and asked her about it. The contractor is a friend of a friend. So I bought it from him. I have 4 motorcycle's so I don't ride it enough. I live in Pottsville Pennsylvania. What's the name of your forum?

@@jimgordon3468 it’s called XR1200ownersgroup.com, lots of owners there, oops I see you already there…good luck with your sale Regards Roy

Luc, thank you for your comment, the forks I used were from a XR1200X model, they were sent out and converted with Ohlins internal parts, so the fitment of the brake calipers was very easy, they fit into the stock location. Regards Roy

Gary…so nice to hear from you!, what a blast from the past!, I hope you are well. I remember your wicked fast FZR (I think that’s what it was). Congrats on getting a XR1200, I think it’s one of the best sportsters ever made, but it can take a bit of effort to get it to handle right. I’m a moderator at the XR1200 Owners Group site, I invite you to join up, if you would like to, lots of good information to be had there. Perkin Elmer, what a great time I had there…I can’t believe it was so long ago, I haven’t been in touch with anyone from there, so good to hear from you, take care. Regards, Roy

@@royvazquez1244 Fabulous! DONE! See you on the XR1200 Owner's Group site. So glad we're reconnected! Yes, it was the 1990 FZR1000, many bikes ago, what a hoot! :-)

JM, thanks a lot for your kind comment, the front fender and the steering stabilizer are indeed from the Vance and Hines race kit, I wish I had the rest of the kit to go with it. The stock rubber engine mounts were replaced with ones from Drag Specialties, they are stiffer than stock, but not as stiff as the polyurethane ones from Vance and Hines, I heard that they made for a lot more vibrations, and I didn’t want that, so that’s why I went with the DS ones. Regards Roy

James, thanks for your comment, I’m from the northwest of the state , lots of good riding up route 7, except when the leaf peepers are out. Congrats on getting a XR1200, I think it’s the best sportster that Harley ever made, and I’m glad I got one!, unfortunately most of the aftermarket parts for the bike have dried up, you’re lucky if you find stuff on eBay, that’s where I got my current exhaust system from. A company called BuB, made a limited number of systems for the XR1200 before they went out of business, they were made in chrome, or in black. I invite to join the XR1200 Owners Group, you’ll find a bunch of like minded individuals there, and maybe you’ll find a decent aftermarket exhaust system in their classified section. Another option would be the Italian system made by Termignoni, my wheels were made by Marchesini, I didn’t even know how to pronounce it in my video. Regards Roy

J&J, thank you for your comment. I sent my Showa big piston forks ( stock on the XR1200X ) to Fast Bike Industries in North Carolina. There they installed the Andreani piston kit and Ohlins Springs and Ohlins fluid, and they gold anodized my forks for me. I hope that answered your question

It was part of the Vance and Hines race kit that was available back then, unfortunately it’s no longer available. It included a Ohlins damper and bracketry made by V&H. I invite you to join the XR1200 Owners Group and post a wanted to buy ad in the classified section. Regards Roy

Jonathan, thank you for your comment, what I did was take my silver fuel cap off the bike and I painted it with satin black spray paint, I think it turned out ok. If you haven’t already, why don’t you think about joining the XR1200 Owners Group, there is lots of good info there about all of the XR1200’s Regards Roy

I have a 2009 xr1200 for sale. Only 1500 miles. Totally stock. Runs perfect.

Santa, thanks for your comment, you have a very good eye, the triple trees on my bike have been upgraded to a set from Twin Motorcycles in The Netherlands. They have a negative 1 and 1/2 degree rake to them, versus the 0 degree rake that the stock triple tree has. Makes it better for turning in. I appreciate your comment Regards Roy

@@royvazquez1244 oh boy. Now I have to get me some of those!

I haven’t had a heat issue yet...they, most definitely are hotter than stock, but they do have heat shields built into them, and if you have a fuel tuner like I have (Dynojet Power Vision) it’s not running lean like the stock fuel map does. Thanks for your comment

@@royvazquez1244 thanks for the quick reply. I definitely like the looks of those the most out of all I've seen. I love the build!

Thanks for your comment... if you read the comment " what did it make", you'll see that question was answered

Michael, thanks for checking out my video, I didn't really do anything special to the Corbin solo seat, just installed everything according to the instructions and it seemed to fit fine. I never liked how the stock rear tail light sticked out so far, so I found a low profile LED taillight from Kuryakyn part #5436 that sits almost flush with the seat cowl, it was plug and play, and cost around $90.00

Thank you for your kind comment, you have a very keen eye on what was done to my XR1200, and you are pretty close to what I have invested into that motorcycle, I just wanted to take the standard bike up to the next level in handling and performance, and I'm very please with the way it turned out. I have saved all the original parts, and If I ever decided to sell it, I would put the bike back into it's stock configuration, and sell all the aftermarket goodies separately, again, Thank you for your comment. Regards Roy

Thank you for your informative comment 😊 I will do this on my XR now. Great idea! I will also bring this up on the XR1200 owners group website.

they are out there...if you have room for one in your garage, I would certainly recommend getting one, Thanks for your comment

@@royvazquez1244 yea man I just cant afford it, maybe one day. Ride safe man

even though I can't read your language, I thank you for your comment!

nice muffler !! where did you get it

@@ぺぺぺぺぺぺ-k9z from a forum member on the XR1200 Owners Group website who was selling these Bub exhaust that he had for a long time. The Company is out of business, so you can't get them new anymore, I was really lucky to get them.

Yes, a set of Bub's came up for sale on EBay, I snagged them, and installed them this past December, thanks for your comment

Supersoni, I already had the Power Vision for 2 years before adding the Target Tune upgrade, I had already run the autotune function many times before sending the tune file to dynojet, they just enabled my file to work with the TT. what you are seeing in this video is how the TT adjusts the AFR for each cylinder in real time. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@royvazquez1244 does the TT run wideband O2 sensors?

@@jonnymac8925 yes, the TT uses wide band O2 sensors

Those are the stock Showa BPF (Big Piston Forks) they were sent to Fast Bike Industries where the installed the Andreani piston kit and Ohlins springs and fluid, they also anodized the upper fork tubes gold, to match the gold on the rear Ohlins shocks

Has the response quality changed much due to the modification?

@@arkus9905 very much so…for the better

thanks..they were expensive, but well worth the money!

@@royvazquez1244 you have the link for the front suspension and forks what parts you needed to buy to assemble it, thank you

Alejandro : first I had to buy Showa Big Piston Forks from a X model XR1200, then I sent them to Fast Bike Industries in North Carolina, USA. There they did the Andreani piston conversion, Ohlins springs and fluid, and anodized the outer fork tubes for me. You can look them up on the internet. Regards, Roy

Same here Randy, was very nice to meet you and Stacy, hope to go back next year!

It made 86.25 rwhp and 69.75 lb/ft of torque, thanks for watching!

Roy Vazquez awesome!

Roy Vazquez what fuel tuner did you use?

@@royvazquez1244 I was thinking it would be cool to see 76whp, but that's great

@@Svtdude302 I used a Power Vision fro Dynojet with the Target Tune module added
