Oh no, not another one... | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Imagine if this was the same one as last time......  | ||
| Jackgraves |
No the one I sold has a black can and polished tip whats up badlionsfan | ||

Not much, just having some fun at poor HR1's expense. Serious question for ya Jack. Are you getting another aftermarket system or are you sticking with stock? Reason I ask is I feel the same as you on the hr1 volume wise, but want something that sounds better than stock. I'm thinking fmf slip on since the volume is adjustable. If you do try it or some other option, please post up your opinions. | ||

i bought the one jack was selling and i have the fmf on my other bike so ill try to compare when i get the hr1 and install it | ||
| Badlionsfan |
cool thanks. | ||
| Jackgraves |
Yes Blf I think I will go with the FMF s/o so I can tone it down. I got black flagged on my RC51 at jennings gp and as soon as i started the buell with the HR1 i knew it was too loud for jennings. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Yeah the fmf seems like the hot set up, especially with the price they're going for now. | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
With the Riot Exhaust did you try closing it off to reduce sound? | ||
| Jackgraves |
because that will be a pain in the ass when it is hot and those 2 allen head screws will only take so much before they round out or you loose one | ||
| Eagle1 |
What's with the comments about volume? Is it that loud? I remember the video with the exhaust and loved the way it sounded. That was the exhaust that I wanted for my bike. Poor choice? | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
I am setting my riot up soon. I am going to play with the slider on the can to see if the tone changes. The other thing about HR1 is if anyone decides to buy one let them know the stock header O.D.size. On mine (09 CR 08 Dec build date) it is 1-3/4" O.D. They sent me 2" expanded pipes to fit over headers. Apparently Buell has changed the header size at least a few times. When I took off my stock exhaust the I.D. of the stock expanded ends where just over 2" to accommodate what buell calls a (graphite exhaust gasket) which puts the O.D. of the headers if left on at 2" when taken off the pipe is actually 1-3/4". HR1 is sending me some reducer inserts for the problem. Hopefully I have pics sometime this weekend if priority mail gets here by friday. So far any issues I have had they are willing to help in any way. Jason has even told me that if I am not satisfied with the inserts doing the job he will make me and 1-3/4" header set up. | ||

The pipe is definetly way louder than the stock. But it is not extremely loud. It makes the bike sound really aggressive. I got nothing but compliments about the pipes look and sound. It aint as loud as some of the other pipes. But it definetly aint quiet. | ||
| Choppercz |
My bike was a Jan 08 build.... So the pipe mounts perfectly to bikes that are May 08 or sooner. If I am wrong about the date, I am sure someone will correct me. LOL If your bike has a later build date, the pipe can still fit with a little bit of fabricating. | ||

Just installed mine today. Super loud. Louder than my 1856cc Harley with a d and d on it. It might be because the pipe points up to the rider more I don't know. With the slider wide open it is way to loud I think. Right now I am running it half way open. More livable. If I get a chance I'll try and dyno it see what happens when you adjust the slider. No pics yet. I had to use the graphite gaskets and totally butchered them so it doesn't look that great. I am waiting on the inserts. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
How would you compare it to the fmf? Also, are you using the db killer in the fmf? | ||
| Hdwrenchtx |
a lot louder than the fmf with no db killer | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Thanks, I think That seals it for me, fmf it is. | ||
| Jackgraves |
hey my FMF is loud also, I'm wearing ear plugs tomorrow | ||

Fellow 1125 friend of mine has a D&D on now he gets to ride by himself. Think its loud sitting on it, try riding along side of it. That loud stuff is a good way to meet the law men. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Jack have you tried the quiet insert yet? | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
I am still having an issue with my set up. The headers hr1 sent were 1.95" I.D. the stock graphite inserts are 2.05". I am going to a muffler shop today to see if they can widen the pipe out a little bit to get the aluminum inserts they sent me to fit the 1-3/4" stock O.D. headers. | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
I have been dealing with this issue for the past two weeks. I am not really complaining that much to Hard Rock. Since Jason has been understanding and doing all he can to rectify the situation. Hrwrenchtx can attest that fitting the pipe over the inserts is real tight. I needed that extra .5" or .10" to even have a chance to fit the pipes with the graphite stock gaskets.

hmm that might be why i was having a hell of a time with those graphite gaskets i ended up unrolling about half of each gasket and using it along with high temp silicone to seal. i am waiting for the inserts but i emailed them yesterday and told them i needed 1 3/4 | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
Yep same issue here. I completely destroyed one of the gaskets by unrolling. Still had a time anyway because I had to take apart the outside header pipe from the y pipe because it wouldnt line up. I bought some tailpipe sealer when I get everything dialed in. I dont think I can get that spring back on so maybe sealant and the safety wire will do the trick but first things first. | ||
| Freezerburn840 |
Anyways those measurements need to be exact. I took the calipers to the stock can and it read 2.05 I.D. and the graphite gasket was 2.05 O.D.. They need to make sure the pipe is at least 2.00" or even more there is absolutely no room for error on the I.D. measurements on their pipes. Trust me I have been dealing with this for 2 weeks. Now there is two guys having the same issue. (Message edited by freezerburn840 on December 07, 2009) | ||

Those inserts might now work by the way. Because they sent me some already. If your pipes are 1.95 or anything below a true 2.00" I.D. good luck and the only way to get a true I.D. measurement is the use of calipers. Tape measure is not good enough in our case. If I took a caliper to it right away two weeks ago. I probably would have my exhaust on. The inserts they send have a slit. So they widen out. But since their pipes I.D. are off just a smidge then it will throw those inserts out of whack when they are put in their so called 2" it needs to widen inside pipe to fit over 1-3/4" o.d. headers. For me it did not so muffler shop here I come. I told Jason if it dont work or they screw it up that he needs to send me a true 1-3/4 set up. I am thinking 2-1/16 or 2-1/8 will be perfect.

i had to disassemble the pipes from the Y like you said to get them to line up i was able to take a pair of pliers and get the springs back on i expected this would slip right on like the FMF did. boy was i wrong |
