I'm one of those damn people who can never leave well enough alone. So I asked Kevin if he could make the outlet on my Drummer look bigger without messing up its performance. Check out the result. He is one talented redneck! The outlet OD is now 3" instead of 2 1/2". He calls it a "Fatlet". I'm going to reinstall the Drummer tonight and I'll post some more pictures tomorrow.

Hmm.. I want to see a pic of that on the bike, looks good in these shots.


Wonder if he's given any though to changing the fairing mounts for Dzsus fasteners? Those screws are a PITA. : D

I'm sorry to say but yes it will cost extra...man that stainless pipe and those extra hours are a little higher...I don't think of it as screwing myself, I just have to design and offer new things...KEVIN

Next thing you know the Drummer will have a 4" chrome tip on it just like all the little import cars do: D

And Buellers look down on HD owners as being posers? LOL. I thought if it didnt make the bike lighter or go faster than it shouldnt even be on it?

You can get that sound in your living room.

Insert left hand into right armpit.
Flap right arm up and down maniacally like you're trying to achieve flight.
Laugh like Beavis.

I have an idea... What about a thinner 1/4-5/8" smaller OD pipe than the ID of the pipe already on the Drummer held in by four strips at 90 degree intervals and rolled in just a little bit inwards on the inside edge?

I'm sure there's a better way to say that in technical design speak but I don't have the words...

Not that I've ever even heard a Drummer anyway... I think someone should make a good quality recording of one.

That looks insanely hot & gorgeous Kev!
Dyna, it's OK to bend the rules just a little on form vs function - I mean, you ride a Harley don't you? : )

Personally, I'm a brushed look kinda guy. I think I'd have to give it a brushed finish like the faux outlet on the stock can.

Now ya'll know I had nothing to do with the bling bling....that was an excutive decision that I wasn't privy to.
I will say if I was inclined tho to like bling bling....I would probably be all goo goo about it.

actually it makes me think of you dyna.....looks like a big god dang wide open mouth

thank god it sounds better tho

Ahh you guys know I love the bling bling & have no problems putting form before function. Just love to give the Buell guys some shit because most of em like to claim they arent into it, even tho deep down they are all closet Harley freaks.

Hey now!!!! Spoked rims are the only rims for a chopper in my opinion.

On a Buell you can have spokes only if they are gold colored & you attach playing cards with a clothes pin for the extra noise & coolness factor.
