Author Message   Nick Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 03:56 pm:        The Jardine arrived today from the states, all safe and sound. Customs got it in the UK and added another $50 to the price, nasty. Anyway, got my race technician to have a look over it, she gave it a real good inspection. Hmmm, looks OK so far... Yep, that's fine boss, let's fit it!   Wheelsleaning Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 04:10 pm:        Your tech has some serious advantages, small hands, perfect height, fit in all those tight spaces.   Steve_uk Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 04:47 pm:        Nick, what did the Jardine cost you in total, if I may ask? I am just wondering if it was cheaper to import from the States than it is to buy one here. Did you also buy the 'quiet insert'?   Wheelsleaning Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 05:13 pm:        Quiet insert???? DANG! Knew I wus furgetn sumtn.   Nick Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 05:33 pm:        It was a fair bit cheaper, even with the nasty customs. About £190 all in (inc delivery and vat). From a-z_powersellers@sbcglobal.net.   Rigga Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 05:49 pm:        yep cheaper than buying here in the uk...mine was £250   Steve_uk Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 06:00 pm:        Hi Rigga.. I'd be interested to hear your Jardine sometime.. I wonder if its as loud as my Tubber? Wish I had a 'quiet insert' for those early morning starts   Daves Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 06:19 pm:        I sell the Jardines for 227.66   Cdrlmr Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 06:29 pm:        Daves what kind of price on the Ti version? (Message edited by cdrlmr on January 20, 2005)   Rigga Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 06:41 pm:        steve......from memory its prob not far off your modded pipe,the jardine is louder for sure compared to the buell race pipe,iv not had the chance to ride it yet,but from running it in the garage it has a deeper base tone at idle,and sounds kinda harsh when revved,hard to explain without a soundclip,i did a video of it earlier on but its 10mb,and the confines of the garage dnt really show it up too well,too much reverbaration of the walls i think.ill have to do a much smaller video outside this weekend,or video it on the dyno when it all gets set up   Captainplanet Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 10:52 am:        Go here for the sound clip of my jardine. http://home.austin.rr.com/crumpley/buell.html   Rigga Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 04:41 pm:        yep.....thats what mine sounds like,but dont quite show the popping on the overun,now that scares the crap out of the car drivers   Tucsonxb9s Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 08:42 pm:        Sets off car alarms too!   Wheelsleaning Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 10:45 pm:        YEEES, SWEEEEET. Think I'll get more respect from the chopper crowd at bike night.
