Man that's a disappointment. I was hoping someone could improve on the factory underslung design. That just looks wrong on so many different levels. |

IMO looks a little out of place. Like you made it yourself. |

hmm... This of coarse is a personal thing but... Either - keep the muffler completely under the bike - Bring it all the way out on the side, or both sides (even better) - Or make it an undertail unit I just never cared for the amputee look I am sure it sounds much better in person, but it looks/sounds like it needs a larger "absorption" chamber. Setting the criticisms aside, well done! Fabrication looks top notch, not to mention its the first one out. |

I just listened to the sound, TOUGH almost Ducati'sh but deeper. I'm seriously impressed by how much that changed the bike for the better. For the first time I see light at the end of the tunnel. This bike is correctable! These pictures need to leak out to none Buell sites. You will sell a butt load of bikes for them. This opens up markets in a big way. Will you be making pods too? |

My hat is off to your effort.... BUT, it's not my cup of tea. IMO, it should be under the bike. Still, it looks better than the stock unit, but I would definitely be looking into a belly pan. Thanks for sharing. |

A belly pan is a MUST now, for looks, aerodynamics and stability. |

Looks good! All stainless? Weight savings? Before & after dyno chart? Black finish available? Removable/repackable baffle? Retail price? How about a "ride report"? Dave Bradenton Fl |

I would like to see - Before and after dyno Shorter cans, one each side. Shorter header, smushed can to fit and a skid plate. Props to D&D for a nice first rendition setup. Looks and sounds good enough, I'm tempted. Especially if it's "tuneable" for sound level. I'm going to gut my stocker first. Zack |

I agree with Pwnzor. Nice effort, just not consistent with the Buell designs. Just looks out of place. I'll wait and see what kind of a Drummer Kevin comes up with. |

Well, I think it makes an interesting alternative. Of course it won't be everyone's favorite. Buell's are the same way. Some like them, some don't. I like that something like that is at least available. |

All stainless, don't know price, will know Monday, polished and non-polished available, 12.25 lbs. lost over stock, no image of after dyno but there ARE GAINS through the whole run. D&D will have this all posted by Monday on their site |

baffle is removable, at least on mine. This is the only way they could make power, I wanted a dual short style but it would not produce anything. This was the ONLY setup that would..... |

Congrats on being one of the first to do something different with this bike! I personally don't care for the look or the sound, but I have never seen a D+D that I liked, now that I think about it. The chrome doesn't "fit" the 1125R, in my insignificant opinion. Now, if it matched the frame..... I prefer a a more mellow tone (walk quietly/big stick kinda thing), but I think that sound will sell alot of D+D's. |

I think if you drop the bike the exhaust is toast, but if not it looks good, I had a D&D on my xb how loud is it to a xb with a D&D exhaust on a scale of one to ten. Mike |

Ugh, not feelin' it. Looks like it was stolen from a cafe Sportster. Looks all wrong for the bike IMHO. --Sean |
