The Drummer team has been busy dreaming up stuff this winter and it's starting to fall into place. Below are pics of the first Drummer CF. It's going into testing now. We have to be absolutely sure it will hold up under the heat and vibration before we start shipping.

It's 5 1/2 pounds total and has 7 layers of carbon in the stress areas. This thing is the real deal! Performance should equal the Drummer SS as the internal design is the same.

Eat your heart out boys; I get to test the first one.

Wow! That is beautiful! Also interested in cost estimate. I assume this won't be able to be used as a jack point?

Kevin, You're products have come along way since I bought one of the original Drummer's 2 years ago. That thing is stunning. I haven't heard from Bubba in about 5 months, since when I saw him at the Bloomington HDB shop while we were having a BRAG meeting. Have u heard from him?

I am truly speechless...
Kevin your products and the passion behind them is something to be desired for in anything. Your work is at the top of the top, if only more things were designed and made with the same love, care, and passion.
Not taking and shortcuts or making any compromises is so rare nowadays.
The class of work you do is on par with that of the Pagani Zonda (one of the most beautifully crafted machines that I have seen).
To say that I admire your work is a huge understatement.
I wish you the best of luck in you venture.

Thanks guys!!!! Let me start with Xldevil...the tubers is a whole different tooling and shape and everything else, but it's not to say that in the future it will not happen...

I'll have this one mounted on my race bike in a few days and I'll send somebody the pics to post...right now I wanted to let you guys know that I'm very serios about these bikes and how they should perform and the fact that you can have a product that looks good and the power is there with little tuning....my main concern is to take care of the people on the list for the SS first, and then I'll be ready to get this other stuff going....I'll have to make sure the CF will handle the vibration and heat of the beast before I'll sell one....

Kevin, What the hell were you thinking? That thing has a major flaw. It is probaly going to get me stuck on the side of the road for hours.











Crossing a puddle would be just wrong.
