Most of us from the group buy have our stacks. I figure it would be helpful to have one thread where we all post our impressions. Probably the biggest question is how our bikes will run using our existing tunes. (It's gonna be chilly all this week in southern Illinois so I probably won't get to do any testing until next week, but hopefully some of you are in warmer climes.) | ||

I....am in the same boat :-/  | ||

Yep currently snowing again in Wisconsin. I still might go out to the garage and install these! | ||
| Captjoe |
What exactly to expect to change by adding these stacks? More hp or torque, smoother operation? | ||
| Nobuell |
I received mine over the weekend. I will not have time to install for a couple weeks. I plan to de-noid at the same time. I need to install my new 2010 rear wheel as well. I will be busy | ||

I bought mine last year. My impressions: better throttle response and a little increase in overall power. The seat of the pants value was well worth the price but I have never had my R dyno tested. I didn't get the proclaimed increases but I did notice some notable improvements that I am satisfied with. I hope you all get the same out of your stacks as I did or better! | ||

i am currently installing them. but probably no riding this week. But we are suppose to go the the drag strip next week. | ||

So the stacks are on but i am having a hard time getting the airbox on. mainly because one of my clips isn't holding the stack in well, so i may need to replace it. | ||

My rear intake was having trouble seating the clip too causing the intake to come out with a tug while the front seated fine and wouldn't budge. I measured both intakes where they sit in place at with a caliper and they were exactly the same so that tells me there are some small discrepancies with the Buell intakes and not Twin Motorcycle. I ended up sanding down the Twin Motorcycle intake slightly to allow the clip to fully seat and now it works as it should. I sanded the top of the bottom lip exactly where the clip would sit against to allow it to seat properly. I used emory cloth sand paper. I can post a pic if needed. Hope this helps. -Jason | ||

mine was slightly bent( the clip that is) so i bent it back and it seems to be holding, i just need to put the airbox on this morning and i should be good to go i hope lol. | ||
| Trbulnt |
Installed mine as well and fitting the air box back on was a bit hard but was accomplished with some persuasion. Now we just need some warm weather! | ||
| Peeweesp |
Well mine are all on airbox is on and the bike runs good. much better throttle response but part of that could be because i adjusted the throttle a bit, it is also very smooth. but to be honest my buell has always ran better in cold weather. Id like to have it dynoed soon and see how much power i am making. I have the orignal ebr race ecm and a full fmf exhaust. | ||

Finally got the 1125R out today after sitting all winter. I've been running the EBR ecm along with the HMF exhaust for 3 years now and during my trip to the gas station and back, the bike ran so well I was chuckling to myself,"Why install those stacks? This thing runs great!" After installing the stacks, I noticed almost right away that much more throttle response, especially from first to second gear. Even cruising on the freeway I noticed a slight improvement. In my opinion, the Twin Motorcycles velocity stacks are well worth the money if you're looking to get that much more power out of your 1125R. | ||

I raced 1125CR with a rider that weight 60lbs less than me he use to walk away from my 1125R. Now I can run with him to about 110mph then start to pull away the faster we went the faster I pulled away about 140 I open about 4 cars on him. I love my VS  | ||

I just came across this thread! I'm glad that you are all giving your feedback! Keep it coming! If we can help please let us know! 5-0dro www.5-0dro.com | ||

I got mine installed. The throttle responds smoother and seems to have more low end power. I am running these with a EBR ECM with a stock pipe. I am very pleased and I say they are money well spent. | ||
| 50dro |
Thanks for the feedback Red but what is this "stock pipe" that you refer to?  | ||
| Red93stang |
Stock pipe = factory exhaust | ||
| 50dro |
Haha! I know...Just messin' with you! | ||
| Yugi |
I installed them, and did a short ride. It feels much smoother now, and there is significant increase in power after around 5500 rpm, didn't try past 8k rpm though. I'm running Barker exhaust, EBR ECM and K&N air filter. (Message edited by yugi on April 27, 2013) | ||
| Nobuell |
I just installed mine and have the same setup as Yugi. Unfortunately, it started to rain and I could not get out. I pulled the solenoid while apart. | ||
| 50dro |
Anyone else??? | ||
| Red93stang |
Yup! Worth every penny!  Actually so impressed I may get their exhaust and tune. Prices Dro? | ||
| 50dro |
Thanks Red! I'm glad you were satisfied with them! I assume you mean exhaust for your 1125? I know you have a few Buells!  I have an email in to TM to find out the status of their 1125 system. I can look into tuning as well for you. It appears that they do everything from a ECM flash (sending your ECM to TM) to a full remote of your bike connected to a computer. We'd have to work out the logistics of either option but we're here to help. Stay tuned... | ||
| Red93stang |
I'm not ready to pull the trigger on their system just yet. Gotta save a couple more pennies. But I would like to know prices. Thanks for all that you do for us Buellers! | ||
| 50dro |
OK...I understand. I'll let you know when I hear back about it. You're very welcome...My pleasure.  | ||
| 50dro |
Anyone else have some feedback for us?  | ||
| B2tomtom |
I just got my stacks and installed them after taking it for a ride first. I did notice a little more power (haven't tuned for the stacks yet), throttle response was better and the bike definitely ran smoother. Definitely worth the money. | ||
| 50dro |
Good to hear B2! Thanks for the update. Please let us know how it does post tune.  | ||
| Sl33py |
hmm... wasn't sure if these were worth the $... Got me reconsidering. 50dro - have any more in stock and pricing? Or looks like 100 euro + sh from TM.NL. I have Full FMF Race w/ EBR ECM, but not programmable - will it adjust enough, or do you need the programmable ECM to see the improvements noted? Thx! Rob |
