Looking to get a 2nd Gen Force streetfighter exhaust. I know the 1st Gen cracked a lot. Has anyone had any problems with the 2nd Gen?

I lost the muffler on mine after 2000 miles. I was riding around Little Switzerland and lost the rear hanger bolt and rubber bushing. Had to mount it back with a piece of fuel hose for the bushing. That lasted a day and a half and both mounting tabs snapped while riding to Franklin. I ran over it and the Porsche that was behind me hit it and sent it down the mountain.
When I got back and called Force they said send pics, so I did, and 4 months later they sold me a replacement muffler for $270.
Haven't run that one for about 1500 miles so far, but I keep an eye on the bolts.

I would have figured their 2nd Gen was to eliminate those problems. Sounds like the same issues with quality. Might have to start looking elsewhere for a new header/muffler.

That's what I thought when I bought mine. I hope I just got a bad bolt the first time and don't have a replay.
On the plus side, it sounds and runs awesome.

That is the main reason I want one. I hear all the great reviews on the exhaust note, plus they make good power.

I actually like the sound of a D&D full system better, but they don't make full systems for the early Tubers : (.

I've been looking at D&D as well Phelan. The full system is about $750 for my M2, I don't want to spend that much...yet lol.

I've got the D&D as a back up if the force doesn't make it. Had one on my S3T and loved it.

If I do get the Force pipe, I can keep my buell race pipe as backup.
