well I am excited the first drummer to go overseas will be leaving in a day or to for australia. OPTO will be the new proud owner. It just is a good feeling. Thanks to Ian for trusting us. |

Bad, is Gearloose running the Drummer now? I know Gearhead was running it and everything he's posted has been very positive but haven't read any other comments lately from him. |

has anyone put a sound bite up? Is it louder than the race kit? I know sound doesn't matter to a lot of people but its performance. I just want to give my dreams at night a sound to go with the visuals of a new exhaust. saving my pennies y'know. |

charels no sound bites but, it is a hair louder some have said but it is a lower tone rumble compared to the race kit. not as tinny sounding. |

Quick question: suppose I just put the Drummer on my XB9 without making any other adjustments to the FI, ECM, or air filter, etc. How then would the bike run? Thanks, Prof |

Prof stack it would most likely not run as well as it does stock.Might be hesitant at a certain rpm or a flat spot somewhere you shouldn't |

prof It would run like any of the other pipes with out the upgrades. It would be totally crappy but it wouldn't be great. And it would probably be a lil lean and have a big dip in it. kinda like if it was a carb you'd have to re jet if you changed a pipe, But with FI you should do the upgrade and I would say with the drummer to get your moneys worth to do the upgrade |

As far as I know, Gearhead still loves his Drummer! I haven't talked to him in a couple days. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) |

Prof, I only ordered the Drummer and have to wait a bit on the ECM and air filter, but I will give a personal account after I get it. If it does suck, I will begin with the air filter, ride it and then get the ECM if it still sucks. I just want to it work as well as stock for now, but who am I kidding? I bet I have the ECM and filter soon after. |

Greetings from Gearhead (Ralph) The pipe is great on a 12. You'll pull through first gear so hard and fast, you won't believe it! I never hit the rev limiter this much on my M2, what a hoot!! The sound is outstanding!! It has actually become a little louder and deeper but my wifes 883 with baffled drag pipes is still louder, that's OK with me. BUY THIS PIPE!!

I'm excited too Bubba, once I get it out of the service dept with the tps reset , I'll hopefully have no reason to ever go back there again! Now that will be a good feeling, new bike, new pipe, and a new sound. |

Brian, just got back from picking up my XB just now. 48f at night and the Gerbing liner is worth its weight in gold. To boot, I get home and the pipe is sitting there waiting for me! I hope to get it on this Saturday as it is supposed to be 72 and sunny in NY. Nice job on the welds! Wish I had a garage to work in as I could be changing it right now. |

I forgot to ask but you mentioned using a swivel ratchet to not have to remove the belt and pulley. Are you talking about one of the simple swivels you can buy at Sears? I don't want to be stuck without the right tool. |

Leeaw, I did it by unbolting the rear muffler bracket from the cases. I didn't have an Allen wrench to loosen the pinch bolt at the time. Having said that, I think it's simpler to loosen the rear axle and remove the idler pulley. |

Brian, I'll keep track of the duties/GST/customs/courier costs for any other Ozzies that might be interested in the Drummer. At this stage it looks like you could do a roaring trade in ecm's and filters at the very least...you could charge a fee for jumping through all those hoops and we'd still be better off! HD is a monopoly over here. The Drummer with ecm & filter should end up being about the same price as the factory kit, but to buy the 3 components here individually it costs about $1900 AUD vs $1440 AUD for the race kit. Looking forward to a good ride on Sunday, the first day off I'll get since picking up the bike a week and a half ago. Yeeeeehaaaaaa!!! |
