And they will not be manufacturing an exhaust system for the XB12 any time soon. They claimed that although the XB series are great bikes, the market just isn't very strong . So if anyone was waiting, you can stop.

Looks like I'll be buying one of those XB9 kits off eBay.

See if you can get just the lower "muffler". I think the stock header is superior to the Force header.

I haven't tried it myself, but I will be as soon as I have the extra $270 for the header.

If you're not dead set on getting the Force pipe, I would recommend a Drummer.

Well I know the Drummer SS is the best for power, but I really love the way the Force system looks. I mean, I don't think anything looks more badass than those curly headers and the Pro Stock sound that it makes. I know will lose some bottom end, but I was hoping that with the Force/F.A.S.T kit/PCIII I could get around 95 at the wheel.

Who knows, maybe I'll just break down and buy the Drummer.

You'll lose more than a little at the low end.

You'll lose enough that it's downright annoying leaving a streetlight unless you do a mild launch, but the kick in at 3000 and the sound pretty much makes up for it : ).

Yeah... The sound of a Force pipe RULES. You will not find a street driven motorcycle that sounds better IMO.

That said... I think you can get some of the low end back and keep the sound if you go to the stock header/Force "muffler" combo.

That's where I'm headed.
