To all,

Just wanted to let everybody know that I found the way to go if you want your xb to sound bad with only a 3/8 drill bit... I took some advise from a xb'er telling me about drilling some holes in the stock exhaust and did it and wow... You would not believe the diff. sound... Awesome... Look down the XBorad and I asked about some suggestions on exhaust mods. Ther is a diagram showing where to drill the holes... If you want a awesome sound for a $1.00 do it... I am saying thanks to the one who thought og=f this... Peace out and make it loud...

When I did mine as prescribed, it sounded like a datto 120B with rusted tail pipe. Yuck. Get a decent muffler and you'll wonder what the hell you were thinking.

Hey trenchtractor,


You must have drilled the holes in the wrong place... And it sounded like a 1900 tractor with straight exhaust... Lets put it like this, compared to the stock sound mine sounds bad for the price of a $1 drill bit which was actually free from work... If I had the $ like alot of the rich and famous I would get a real system but unfourtently I am one of those poor guys that does not have $1000.00 to spend on exhaust... Child support comes first but thanks anyways...

Tbone, Take a look at my mod under the XB12 mod thread http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/80255.html?1098312334

You could probably do it for little $'s

V/R,
Nick

Guys, please don't forget that you may be loosing power just to gain noise. If power loss doesn't matter to you, then drill away and enjoy the sound!

But you did manage to pick up a $10k bike...

BTW, everyone who has heard or bought a Drummer loves 'em. And nowhere close to $1000...

On a 9 and a 12 BTW... The 12 sounded a good deal better IMO, but the 9 sounded very nice too.

I may have a Drummer up on eBay soon. No trade in required. No, I'm not giving up the one on my bike!
