Been working on this design for 4 months and just about refined, need someone to do final testing on this design...It will retain the interactive valve, stock ecm and can use the filter or airbox mods....this will be an economy muffler modification for those on extremely tight budgets to have better sound, looks, and gain some performance....it will have dual stainless 2.25 inch outlets....cost will be $180 and that includes shipping in the lower 48....please call or e-mail if you'd like to be the one to do some testing...828-324-9991 kdfab@bellsouth.net
XB 12 only....thanks for your interest..

Sorry Gearhead, 12 only for now...I have 3 changes that need final testing and I'm so busy that every hour in the day is needed for working...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...tempting...but I think the wife would smack me if I told her I had to work on the bike again...

Should it go to the muffler shootout that will shortly be happening? Would be a good test to see how the dyno charts are...and people can make their own decisions.

Cruisin,
I just need to finalize some testing on 3 configs, this is not for a shootout, Ive got a muffler for that one....It's strictly an economy muffler mod that needs to be finished...

I've got a 12 that I would be interested in letting you use. Are you looking for the owner to pay for dyno time or what? PM me with any questions.NUTS

Kevin,
I'm sure I speak for a lot of BadWeBrs when I say that I'd sure like to see that muffler included in our upcoming testing in addition to the full-blown XB12 Drummer. So is this going to be the "Drummer Light"? : )

Well here's my delima, I've got 3 configs to use and I'm going to find the time to get all 3 to different customers and gain some feedback....this valve puzzles me with it's operation and I've figured out why it does what it does and when, I just need to isolate the best config for the Buellers....I've come up with an affordable way to perform these mods and would like to offer it to those that maybe can't afford to shell out the dough for any aftermarket pipe on the higher end and this will be another option....the whole cool thing is that if they ever get the funds it can always be made to a regular Drummer no problem....I know it will not be the best performer by no means but will give the bike some sound and lose a few pounds.....I'm always going to come up with new designs cause I know that it can always be better...Thanks for all the support and the flooding of e-mails and phone calls, I enjoy talking to all of you...

Blake, yeh it will be the Drummer Light....

Lucas, we'll be in touch in the next few days...

Thanks,
Kevin

Rage,
You need the loud Drummer and fuel tuning, you'd love it coming on off idle....those heads would pay off on the low end as well as the top....

Apex, thanks, I'll keep you posted...

Kevin - we might have a couple of racers on the team could take you up on it... but the bikes are re-cammed and bigger valves. Don't know if it'd give you the feedback you'd be looking for or not.

Hey Kevin,
Nice, Real nice. Doesn't look like economy.
How does the dual outlet effect performance?
