The CF one's will be high, since I can't do the carbon process....what I will do is get a quote on what the body will cost and how many to get a break and what I can afford, and it will be an order up front process and we'll see what happens...I'd like to get the first 14 SS's sold first to recoop on the aweful material bill that I have at the moment....It will work out in the near future, I'd rather take some more time on a quality product than mass produce and mass replace...

Kevin,
How many are left? Do you have any pics of the exhaust on a short wheelbase XB?
Thanks,

Kevin that summitch runs. Only have THE DRUMMER and K&N on now awaiting delivery of TFI. It's louder than Charlie's 9 Drummer but still has some of the character from the econo. I couldn't be happier, thanks so much. It has been a real pleasure. NUTS |

Hey, JerseyGuy.
It’s Paul....I met you earlier today at Liberty HD and we talked extensively about the brackets that can be used to mount the fairing. Just my two cents, but I’d suggest Kevin try making them out of the same alloy he’s using for that front mount. I think it would make the whole think look cleaner than those black bracket we were eyeing from Jardine or Iron Horse. Please let me know as soon as you’ve talked to Kevin and provide his feedback.
It was great talking to you and be well. I’m putting in an order for the SS today, and will deal with the brackets when they become available....worst case, I’ll make something myself. Your bike sounded awesome and the dyno chart is very impressive. |

I finally fitted an SS Drummer to my XB12S 04
model, there is noticeable seat of the pants
gains, down low and up top, and the sound is
excellent, even deeper and more grunty and mellow
at the same time, compared to the
"old faithfull" standard Drummer
(which already sounds and performs great). It's
more difficult to hang on at 6000rpm in 3rd gear at WOT than it
used to be  Excellent work Kevin.
I found my stock 04 ecm would not run it(?), and had to
add 8% more fuel across
the entire fuel map on the MS EFI to get back to around the
correct AFR's. Definitely will require a race ecm to run it.
I'm stoked, this pipe has got to be the very best.
Edited to save scrolling sideways
But it took me 2 goes at it...

A pic, it's a prototype, but same internal dimensions.
My missus rides this bike mostly now, and
I get to ride the Uly.

Ian - that's a great looking ride your wife has there. I personally think the Lightnings look better without the chin spoiler. It has a more naked look. Against my better judgment, I'm going to remove the belt guard on my new bike and Kevin's painting me a chopped tail section too.
We've got some billet points covers in stock and I've got some catch cans too if you are interested. All are engraved with the drummer crossed flags logo. |

Hiya Jerseyguy,
Firstly, thanks heaps for the offer to put us up. Would have booked the tickets, but we seem to have spent all our savings on bikes. Hee! Hee!
Would have started saving for the tickets now but alas you have tempted me to spend...
Would love a billet points cover, could you please pm me with details asap.
Bindy Buell looks beautiful now, but every girl needs a piece of designer jewellery!!!
If possible a matching seat belt buckle would be nice..... with the SS on Opto reckons I'll need one!!
Take Care

Janelle, I have it it 3 different finishes. Polished, spiral machine cut and frosted (bead blasted & tumbled). I know, decisions, decisions!
  
I've got the frosted on my bike as it doesn't show the grime as much. The other two have a little more bling value. |

Jersey,
Can you edit your post and put in a carrage return between each picture?
That way they post vertical instead of having to scroll side to side.
Thanks! |

The BBS doesn't allow edits more than 120 mins later. Sorry. You can copy the pics to your computer and view them in any format you like though. Right click, then save as. They all show up horizontally on my screen so I didn't think it mattered. |

Hey Steve,
Nothing like laying out a selection for a girl!
After much ummimg and ahing, decided on the POLISH.
Will match in with my SS, and I have to polish the pipes and the drummer, so whats one more thing.
Besides, girls like things that glitter and shine!
Thanks for the pic's, pm with payment details and I will get payment away asap.
Take care

Bindy,
You haven't enabled PMs on the Badweb. You can PM me and put your email address in it if you want to keep things the way they are. |

Just an update! So far I have only put about 500 miles on my bike since I installed my Drummer SS and to say that it is amazing is a gross understatement. I have never purchased a product that so fully exceeded my expectations than the Drummer SS. Kevin was very modest when he described the performance difference it would make; he never once led me to believe that my bike would be fully transformed into the bike I have dreamed about ever since I saw "Akira" in 8th grade. My bike is now stupid fast, noisy in all the right ways, MUCH better looking (opinion alert!) and the decision as to where my front wheel resides is entirely up to me. I just recently re-routed the breather system out of my air box with the Drummer catch-can kit and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I don't know if it makes HP, but every time I drain a BUNCH of oily H20 out of it after a ride, I feel great satisfaction! My Buell is better, stronger and faster like Co. Steve Austin! 
Kevin is a Super-hillbilly who has mad exhaust-building skills. I feel like Kevin and KD fab personify everything that led me to buy a Buell in the first place!
Thanks for looking,
WT |

My Drummer SS is on the way! I can't wait to see it. Hopefully the groundhog didn't see it's shadow, and spring comes in a hurry. |

Sorry Drift, Kevin bestowed me with the #1 title
Then again, I think Kevin is a magician and just keeps producing the perfect DRUM for everyone

Hi Kevin,
Well Opto has Megasquirt doing double puddles (two x half squirts every crank revolution) and Bindy is going harder. Me, well I am just splashing around trying to come to terms with the power, and thats from my beautiful original Fatlet Drummer.
Still, patience is a virtue, and I am just biding my time until I can have my #1 on.
Have told Opto it is mine, and he will have to get another one.
Thanks for the words, means a lot to me, puts a smile on my face that you still believe in me.
