Anybody ever put a drummer on a tube frame bike? I see a picture of a custom drummer fitted on an S1 on their website. Wonder how it would stack up against what is currently available for the tubers (V&H, supertrapp, D&D, etc.)? | ||

all a drummer is is a stock can with all of the contents removed and a stainless mesh tacked in around the perimeter of the can. Picture a glass pack with no glass. You could make you own pretty easily by: 1: cut the rear end off at the weld. 2: remove the baffles with a slide hammer 3: line the inside of the can with speaker grill cover or something. 4: weld the original rear back on. It's all mild steel. | ||

Wow, it sound so simple when you explain it like that. I got a used tuber Drummer a while back, that I will be putting on my M2 in the next week or two. I've already tried the V&H, and SuperTrapp IDS. Sold 'em both. | ||

Natexlh1000, have you actually dissected a Drummer yourself. There are three welded baffle tubes in a tuber muffler and just cutting off the rear at the weld as you say to yanking it out with a slide hammer simply is a pipe dream. | ||

Kevin Drum will no longer make a "Drummer" for the tubers. He's too busy with the newer stuff. You could make one but you will have to cut the front off and the rear off, gut it and do what was suggested above with the packing and the mesh liner. Not that easy but doable if your good with your hands and some tools. | ||

If that's all there is to a Drummer I'd do them for 125.00-150.00 plus shipping with a 24 hour turn around and pay Blake what ever he needs for me to be a sponsor. I would sure like to see one disassembled? | ||

Yes. One of the NEBO guys had totaled out his XB12 and we were taking off all of the hop-up parts and reverting it to stock parts for the insurance money. The drummer was held together with screws and had an aluminum end cap. My friend's partially bypassed stock pipe sounds much better in my opinion. I mean they are mild steel! They are just asking to be cut-n-paste to suit  | ||

you can still find some drummer mufflers for the tubers around. i have one on my S2, that i purchased last summer from one of the guys here on badweb. natexlh is oversimplifying the drummer design, but he's close.  | ||
