I am interested in upgrading my exhaust and would like to be able to experience them first hand. I live in the Akron Area and work in the Cleveland Area. If you are local and have upgraded your exhaust, I would appreciate being able to hear yours in action. | ||

I've got the HPE , live in Mentor , work near Solon / Bedford area . Let me know . | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Dude, I'm practically your neighbor. I'm in Stow, off Steels corners rd. My current plan is to get the Barker and ebr ECM. I'm gonna try to do it next month and I'd really like to take it to MPH for before and after dyno run. I'll keep ya posted. | ||

Small world. I used to live off Steels Corners. I am also curious about both of those exhausts. I have been leaning toward the Keda RT-3, or the FMF full if I have the funds, but I like both of those exhausts as well. Been holding out pending the shootout results. I am on a red R, I passed an '08 with bar end mirrors and an exhaust the other day headed out of the Valley near Peninsula. Was that you Badfan? | ||
| Badlionsfan |
No wasn't me. I have an 08, but still stock exhaust til next month. I'll tell ya both MPH is a great place to get tires installed. 35 bucks a wheel with the wheels still on the bike. | ||

Thanks for the info, I have been looking for a good place. I did a tire change myself on the old bike, and it was a ballache and I managed to put some nice scratches on the rims for my trouble. I was thinking of doing the dyno at Northeast Ohio Ducati (formerly Crooked River). They seem pretty nice. Offered to do a custom tune on a PC V for $250 flat. Of course they wanted to sell me the PowerCommander and a can too, probably all at list price. (Message edited by Freight_dog on May 27, 2010) (Message edited by Freight_dog on May 27, 2010) | ||

Check out mph, there isn't much they can't do, plus the guys in there all seemed really cool. | ||

I live about two blocks from the River Front in the Falls. If you ever see a bone stock ’08 with the rider decked out in Buell Jacket and Pants, it is probably me. We should try to get the bikes together some time, maybe Rocking on the River, coffee shop, whatever. I also have very recent experience with MPH. They did the rear tire mount and balance on my old KZ 750. I used to frequent Cycle Therapy which is a few miles north of MPH on State Road but they only do mechanical work at this point, and I do all my own wrenching. I would recommend both MPH and Cycle Therapy. I definitely would not recommend State 8, not an impressive bunch. I’ve heard that they have hundreds of claims filed against them with the BBB and that does not surprise me at all. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Only good thing about state 8 is their rider course, specifically they offer the Lee Parks Total Control class. I loved it. We should get together some weekend, go play in the valley for a while. | ||
| Ravnna431 |
Where is MPH? Always ride through the Cuyahoga Valley Parks near Peninsula and will be needing a new rear tire soon. Almost had an exhaust to show you guys, but the wife nixed it!!!  | ||
| Badlionsfan |
It's on State rd across the street from State 8. Website is mphohio dot com. If you call them in advance they'll do the tire while you wait. | ||

I have the fmf on mine if you want to hear it... fmf slip on not full, I live in garfield hts work in macedonia. I have the buell side fairings on also I'm usually always down at bike nights at qsl on wed's | ||
| Clk92vette |
I am really interested in a pipe for my bike too, but I can’t even raise the issue with my wife. I can’t complain since I got my bike, full leathers, and gauntlet gloves since Christmas of ’09. Maybe I can convince Santa to be extra nice this December! Of course that means many months of me not being naughty…it’s a good goal anyhow. I like the idea of an impromptu get together for all N.E. Ohio Buellers. QS&L is probably a good proximity. The Merriman Valley also has a bike night on Tuesdays and it is located just off of Riverview Road which is surrounded by twisty roads. | ||
| J_copeland |
I'm in NE Ohio,and go to QS&L in Austintown on Thursday's.If you guys ever want to meet up,gimme a holler.I have a Red 09 with the stock exhaust.My wife said I need to make a list of upgrade's for my bike's(675 and 1125R)So I can start buying some a little at a time.The race ECM and and exhaust will be 1st on my list for sure.Leaning towards one of the Keda Designs exhaust.Not sure which one yet. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
I'm out during the week, I work nights. | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Sign me up as well for QS&L. Not in ohio, but 20 minutes from the boarder and can be there in less than 90 minutes. I'm running a Erik Buell Racing race ecm and an HMF if anyone was interested in hearing it. | ||
| J_copeland |
Pittsburgh_Guy....Which QS&L are you referring to.Sharon,Pa.?I'm about 25 minute's from there. | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Well, I have 4 that I can think of within a 45 minute driving distance: Robinson(25 min), Cranberry(25 min), Rt51(45 min), and New Castle(45 min). But, I think the one those above are referencing is in Youngstown, which is by the old Biketown HD(not the new location). Which depending on traffic and cops is anywhere from an hour to hour and a half. | ||
| Freight_dog |
Well I believe Rockstarblast was referring to QS&L in Valley View. Wow, it wasn't that long ago that there was just one. It was a lot more special when you made the trip to Sharon just to go to Quaker Steak. I will meet up at whatever one everybody wants to go to, but I am only available one Weds, two Tuesdays and two Thursdays a month. | ||
| Ponti1 |
Sign me up for this also...Is it possible to get some PMs sent to interested folks whenever you foks are planning the date? I have a hard time not missing thread updates on this site for some reason... | ||
| Ravnna431 |
Thanks badlionsfan for the info | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
I didn't even know about the one in Valley view, I just looked at the map and I'm only about 45 minutes from this one as well. Plus that part of 22 all the way to Salt Fork Park is a great ride. Maybe we can organize something for a bike night there. Anyone happen to know when it may be? As a side note, I'm out of the picture until the week of the 15th. I'm taking a nice ride to myrtle beach this Friday. | ||

My wife's family is from Sharon - her uncle Gary is one of the owners of QSL. It's kind of cool to see them popping up all over the place but the original one has a charm I haven't found in any of the others I've visited. Still cool places, though... | ||
| Freight_dog |
Valley View is on Wednesdays. The next one I can attend there would be June 23. I go on the road today until the 16th. I travel on Wednesdays and usually don't get home in time to make bike night, but I do get one completely off each month. | ||
| Clk92vette |
It looks like Wednesday June 23rd makes the most sense. I am also likely to be traveling too much until then to make it any earlier. The Quaker Steak & Lube location is at 5935 Canal Road, Cleveland, OH,44125. I will start a new thread and post it on the other Buell Boards. Maybe we can take charge as the most prevalent brand that night, it won't be easy to outgun HD though. | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Wait, so are we going for the one in Cleveland? or Valley View? | ||
| Freight_dog |
Valley View IS the one in Cleveland, unless you are talking about the one at the Q Arena. | ||
| Ponti1 |
I mis-read the thread I guess. I thought it was mentioned to meet at the Youngstown location? That Valley View spot is a bit out of the way for a mid-week jaunt. I might have to miss this one, rather than trek all the way to Cleveland on a weeknight. Hope you guys have a good time! | ||
| J_copeland |
I'm 10 minutes from the Austintown location.We could meet up there too sometime. | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Wait, whats up with there being 2 valley views in OH? I thought this was the one right off 22/30 crap. That is pretty far, but I'll try. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
a more fun meet up than a bike night would be to head south of Canton and actually ride sometime, it's a great way to kill an entire day down there south of carrolton. | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Just looked at the Map- @ Ponti1 - If you change your mind, let me know. I'll meet you at the last exit before the turnpike. I'm pretty sure it's the Chippewa exit. @ all others - If others want to meet up at Biketown HD/Buell It's really only 3 miles out of the way, but it's a great meeting/stopping spot. Also, posting this under the dedicated thread to this meet up |
