Where is the "this thread is worthless without pics*" smiley? * or sound clips  | ||

-How much for the Bakers exhaust? Any problems or concerns with the fit? | ||

Just test rode one the other day. Sounds loud and obnoxious like a Jardine. And from the way it pops and blubbers on decel, I'd say it has little or no back pressure like the Jardine as well. I'd like to see some numbers from a dyno run. | ||

mine does not pop or blubber on decel. just rode 300 miles to daytona and back. no problems. i love them nice tone not raspy. | ||

1340busa- -Do you feel better power through the entire power band, or where do you feel it the most? -Has the mileage been affected? How 'bout a sound clip? | ||

I got 100 miles on mine this weekend. No decal popping like my xb did. I opted for the polished front pipe and did the headers today. http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/3929_201003072 21402_L.jpg http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/3929_201003072 21039_L.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StV2ufxsVI8 (Message edited by R/T_Performance on March 08, 2010) It fits nice and tight. 395 on Barkers website if you search around i believe puzzled has a offer for forum members somewhere (Message edited by R/T_Performance on March 08, 2010) | ||

Just test rode one the other day. Sounds loud and obnoxious like a Jardine. And from the way it pops and blubbers on decel, I'd say it has little or no back pressure like the Jardine as well. I'm not sure that you could draw that conclusion from a test ride without knowing what the bike ran like in standard form. Unless you knew which flash it was running, what air filter was fitted, whether the map had been changed at all, whether the pipe had been on long enough for the ECU to "learn" any new settings it might be able to make and whether it'd been fitted properly.. Also "obnoxious" is a subjective opinion, it's impossible to know whether there are any aftermarket pipes you like (and have tested) or whether you feel they are all obnoxious. I'm really looking forward to taking delivery of my Barker, the video that Jornum1 has posted has just whetted my appetite! | ||

1340Busa - did you run the Barker at all with the stock ECU or did you do both changes at once? (Just wondering).. | ||

"Just test rode one the other day. Sounds loud and obnoxious like a Jardine. And from the way it pops and blubbers on decel, I'd say it has little or no back pressure like the Jardine as well." From my own experience and the other reviews I have seen I think the bike your rode might have a problem it if poping and blubbering as you say. Mine has a little gurgle on decel as you can see in my video. Thats even with only 10 or 15 miles on the pipe and the earliest flash. I still need to get it reflashed, and allow the ecm to adjust a bit to the new pipe. I would assume it will ride perfect after that. Once I get my quiet core, I will verify if there is any baffling in the can. I will have to take the back cap off at that point. } | ||

I'd like to see some numbers from a dyno run I'd like to know more about this particular bike and its owner. Your comments are uncharacteristic of what others have been saying. I'd like to insure there isn't a problem with the install.} | ||

1340busa Are you running the quiet core?} | ||

Spoke to Tim this morning. I should have a Quiet core tomorrow to test out. Video will follow of course  | ||

Same here, ours shipped at the same time. | ||
| 1340busa |
no quiet core in mine. awesome sound. $388.00 shipped through mike correll at advantage cycle. mileage was about the same with the pipe an ebr ecm as it was stock. wheelies at 6000 in third now as opposed to 7000 with stock. |
