We are developing a Torque Hammer exhaust for the Tube model Buell's, all off them 2 inch and 2,5 inch connection. We finished our prototype look here for the article: http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikelen.asp?cid=18

We finished a new hanger system for in the front to be sure it cannot brake, we also made a new front exhaust mount bracket.

Now we need a test driver who can make some miles on the exhaust. This Torque Hammer proto type is for a 2 inch header connection, The Engine needs to be supported to fit this exhaust with the new bracket.

If you have a Tube Buell X1, S3 with a 2 inch connection header, and you want to be our test driver and get a free exhaust please send a mail to dris@twinmotorcycles.nl I will select only 1 driver, and it needs to be a winter driver who lives in a sunny state (-: and can start right away.

If the elbow just bolts on (like the new pictures show) how hard can it be to put a 2.5" elbow on there?
I like the previous spring arrangement better, looked more like a 'race bike'. The new style spring mount looks very "home-made." Maybe look better with black springs.

I would be down for testing the 2.5" collector if you want. I live in Florida and ride pretty much year round

If you want a tester for a 2" on an S2 (rear facing 2" header outlet, no elbow required on the muffler), let me know. Happy to have an excuse to do some "research" : )

The S2 muffler should actually be a little easier for you to make. No front hangar required, it's part of the header. Just need a slip-fit flange on the muffler inlet to go over the header outlet; a clamp; and a good rear hangar setup.

Ratbuell, The other reason why it is not difficult, is because this is my daily driver:
