Has anyone gone to the trouble to keep their complete stock XB12S exhaust system to put back on the bike in case of a warranty claim ? Is it worth the hassle, or should a guy just go for a better sounding exhaust and not worry about a possible warranty problem ? I'd appreciate your input, thanks, Emery |

Rage, are they in decent shape? If so I'll take 'em. PM me your address and an estimate for shipping and I'll send off a money order. Thanks, Odie |

Its always a good idea to keep them as i found out today when the back half of my force pipe mysteriously disappeared while riding today. looked and looked and looked and couldnt find it. |

I don't think that Force is selling those yet - they're still in R&D - but the new design is to deal with the same problem we found (and why we have to reinforce them). Jan_lee - I have a force can by itself that I need to get rid of - it's the ceramic coated black, but the price is right if you're interested... |

JAn_lee, and Cruisin what other mods are you using with the force pipe with regards to fuel Etc. I think one fella allready got a new force pipe Misao or I forget the spelling of his nick , is the one with the springs on it just like the snow mobile units, :-) How were your guys force pipes working as far as being either lean or Rich??? |

Misato has one - so does M1Combat...most run a TFI, and depending on your bike, altitude, etc, you should be able to tune it to help out. Force has chance the design to the newer one you see linked to in Jan_lee's post to deal with the excessive vibration. I haven't had a chance to tune mine in...and it's too loud for me to keep...so I won't be able to have a good report for you... |

Sorry cruisin i ordered just my pipe yesturday they are two daying it so i will be ready for the weather to clear on saturday. but the new pipes are done it is the full package that is going to be delayed because of the custom ecu but the whole package is 1300 bucks the pipe alone is 800 or 900 but i struck a deal on just the new pipe for 500 because ive had their old one for so long and one on my m2 and partly because the race team. but to answer the other question im running a TFI also and can get it close. contact force great people and LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES!!! but what do i know i damn near killed a lady when i passed her on the right at about 6500 rpm she swerved for the median . |
