I finally broke down and put the Buell Race Kit on my 04 XB12R. I did it for the sound more than anything. I'm a bit nervous about losing some low end torque, as that is what I love so much about this bike. The bike is in the shop for some repairs and figured I'd get the race kit installed while its there (for minimal labor charge). I just happen to come across two complete race kits, brand new, in the box, for an unbeatable price. What the heck, why not!

Dude, you don't even use the low end for the most part...your poor speedometer is fairly useless under 90mph! lol
Congratulations on the new can...you're gonna love that sound!

it will now sound like the beast it truly is!. Powerwise the low end loss isnt that bad, and ull find the high end power is fun.

What low-end power loss? Truthfully, I didn't notice any low-end loss but I did notice the power gain! And the sound is mellow, yet it has stonk! Enjoy!
