I don't know, man. I had a Special OPS on my XB, which is louder than a Drummer, and I rode that 1000 miles with no problems. I had earplugs in with music playing. |

I do like it a lot, I'm about to go out riding other than going to work. More to follow tonight, I will say though, the pick up is much better. |

I like that HMF, and the price is reasonable too. How was the fit finish/install? |

The Mid-pipe was a beast to get on the headers and the directions were poor at best. I just winged it half the way and let my skills do the job. The finished product is rather nice once everything was completed. I plan on wrapping it with header wrap or ceramic coat the headers.
Thanks. |

Any feedback as far as riding it after the exhaust install? |

From a spectator POV: Funny you ask, as I walked in to a restaurant on Sat night... I was asked by 3 guys riding bikes if I was riding a Ducati.
From a riding POV: IMHO, Pickup through the midrange - high RPM. There is an unbelievable difference. I do feel I lost some lower pick-up but I've been told that as soon as I get the bike re-jetted that issue should go away. If not I'm hoping that K&N and NOS solves the problem.

And that, boys 'n girls, would be why you should always take anecdotal stories about after-market performance enhancements with nothing less than a block of salt. |

I was thinking more along the lines of:
http://www.1tail.com/sa/p/Dry_Nitrous_Kit_For_Fuel _Injected_Motorcycles_(1lb_Nitrous_Bottle).htm
Also, just as an FYI, powercommander should be releasing a ECU within the next couple weeks(Which would need installed with the aftermarket exhaust and the NOS, or any other ECU IE jardine protune 3).

LOL. Yeah, jet your 1125 as soon as possible. Is it just me, or does the HMF look like its gonna hit the swing arm if the rear gets a tad bit of air? |

Looks close, but the Jardine sits the same way. Might just be the angle of the pic making it look closer than it really is, too. |

A carburetor? correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't it have throttle bodies with fuel injectors? |

Email from Powercommander on 4/21/09:
"Check back in a couple weeks. If you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks.

Also, the above NOS kit is almost the same kit I had on my TL1000R w/a supercharger. All you have to do is have a little faith, ingenuity, and money then anything is possible. So no it's not a joke.
Thanks,

The joke was about the carb thing. Of course, 1125's are EFI...

Nooooo, somebody needs to take the airbox cover off and have a look at their "carburetors" and then come back. Hopefully they won't break the fuel rail when they do it though. I wouldn't wanna be responsible for damages. |
