1st Erik Buell Racing, I sent my ECM out last Monday to get re-programmed for a Barker exhaust and it was back on Friday!. Man, That is awesome customer service and the best part -It ROCKS!!! Set up with the TPS was a cinch and everything went smooth as butter, no codes and the bike even sounds better. Seat of the pants dyno is off the charts.
2nd thing,the Barker pipe. This exhaust really Rocks and I couldn't be more satisfied. No dyno numbers but I don't need them to tell me this combo is one of the best pipe upgrades I've done in 30 years of motorcycle tuning. Very seldom have I been blown away by the complete experience. Pipe looks incredible (all black), fitment was perfect no problems at all and it just WORKS!
Great products all,1125 CR, Pipe & tuning module! What the heck was Harley thinking when they shut this down????

I have the barkers set up as well. I as well am impressed with the sound and performance. I have the PCV but haven't dyno'd it since I installed it and had a map downloaded to it.

I have a question for you on yours. With the black Can are the pipes black as well?

I have the silver can and the pipes are a nasty copper color now after a year of owning it. Weds I'm spray painting it black with high temp paint.

I'll have to post a pic later, but the pipes look like they are silver or even a little like ceramic coating. I will probably either wrap my pipes or have them coated with a high temp black ceramic next year. I have owned a V-Rod and a ZX12 that I wrapped and even after a couple of years both still looked great. Wrapping can look bad-ass if it's done right. I'll see if I can locate a picture of my NightRod special with the wrap. I got a lot positive comments on that bike and the wrap added a sinister look to an evil looking machine anyway-LOL!

The head pipe is bead blasted. I took the time to polish the head pipe and it looks a lot better than stock. It just takes a little time.

I used the stainless steel polishing kit from Harbor Freight. Use 400 or 600 grit sandpaper first and then go to the polishing compound. Once that was done I hand polished with Mothers.
