Sandman, On the main BadWeb page is a "SEARCH" option, search for "TPS" in the Knowledge Vault topics. You will find a lot of info. If it coughs a lot you can replace the stock ECM until you can get the TPS reset, it still knows the setting, but it may run worse. Try & see, get it reset ASAP. We should take this conversation elsewhere if we discuss it more. Meet you on the Fuel Injection topic page if you would like. Jeff | ||

Al: thanks for the info and all your research. I did follow the earlier discussion. Cool to get the facts. Too bad about the non-replaceable straps. Even if they hold up, it's always nice to know that you can fix things if they go bad when you're on the road  The Supertrapp rep I spoke to said that the do indeed sell these assemblies separately. He didn't have a price, since no one had bought one yet - price wasn't in the system. Blake: I'd like to run the Race can, but it has a less than stellar record for holding up, and I blew out the packing on another race can in just a few hundred street miles and two track sessions. When the packing blew out the rattling from the perforated center pipe made me think I'd broken something in the motor. Not really an option for long distance riding. Henrik | ||

When the packing in the "Race" can goes away does it always rattle?? Is this the dead giveaway that new packing is needed or does performance suffer also? Dave | ||

I thought there was a ceramic or other material replacement packing that didn't blow out. I'll be replacing the packing material in the Wileyco whenever I get around to it before it goes back on the M2. I'm wondering if doing a sandwich wrap of a thin layer of packing between layers of metal window screening, then rolling that around the perforated tube would improve the lifespan of the packing. ps: shades of SacBorg, look at all the emoticons above. Wonder how they work.    Now is this just getting to be too slick or what | ||

Al, looking at the SS race header can again I believe we can still use your original bracket design. Well maybe not for the can I have but for other sommoth bore mufflers. The length I chose for my can was for sound/performance/weight reduction. It could as easily be another 1.5 or 2 inches and still have clearance for the rear tire. That would give your bracket ( issues with the T-bolts aside) enough contact for clamping to be flush before the radiused end of the SS muffler. Henrik and Blake, once the rear clamp issue is solved by Al, you should look seriously at the Stainless Specialites race muffler. Price performance and sound is fantastic. Looks bitchen too. | ||

Donn, I completed a new bracket layout last night that doesn't use the stock Z bracket and moves the clamps forward. I'll print out the flat pattern, make a cardboard mockup, and determine if it will fit this weekend. There are Primary case clearance issues that I'm not sure about since I don't have the whole engine/swingarm block modeled in solidworks. I'll let ya know monday. Wouldn't the exhaust pipe run into the tire on the SS muffler if you extended the can any more? Al | ||

Al, One thing I forgot to mention regarding the pic I sent. Don't know it it matters but my Boss is right on the oil drain plug. I need to remount and drop about 3/16 or so. Brad | ||

I'm not sure the core perforated tube always rattle when the packing is gone, but mine and others did. When it starts to rattle, it'll only be a short while before the tube cracks and if you run it that way for long enough it'll wear a hole in the can itself ... right Rocket  Seeeu: for the sound I'm honestly looking for something on the more quiet side. On a 5-700 mile day, what sounded great when you started out gets really old. Also - what I can get away with in Gotham, may catch more (unwanted  ) attention from the local constabulary somewhere else. Henrik | ||

Brad, Someone last year posted about adding a second drain plug to their primary case outboard of the interference with the muffler. Some vendor was supposedly working on it as a product, but should be fairly simple for a decent welder as long as you ensure you clear all the internals with the boss work and drain plug protrusions inside the primary case. Just something to consider. MikeJ. | ||

Henrik, I haven't mounted it yet, waiting for my rear bracket to be done right, but the Stainless specialties muffler can be done virtually any way you want it. Mine is somewhat like Donns, but with a smaller diameter core and exhaust pipe (2.5" instead of 3"). I doubt mine would be any louder than a V&H, the sizes are all similar. They can do other baffle tricks as well. So if you want to ouse a race header but have it quieter, all is not lost. Al | ||

anyone use the vance and hines muffler on a 1995 S2? i have a line on one new and cheap and i need input... the replacement supertrapp they ae sending wont fit right without a bunch of mods... the hassle may be worth it later... not now though... let me know thanks Jason H pittsburgh, pa | ||

Al, at the end of the radius on the Stainless Specialties race muffler starts a 90 deg muffler exit that is 4.5 inches long. Then there is another 3 inches between that and the rear tire under full suspension extension. Plenty of room to modify future race mufflers as the rear clamp design changes. Henrik, Al is correct. Lots of design flexibility with this Race Can. with the 3" core and outlet mine is loud. I do not wear earplugs and even after a long ride it is not uncomfortable, just dammn pleasant. It is well baffled and gives a low bass rumble at idle. Lifetime guarantee on the ceramic core: read no repacking ! At full throtle song it gets your attention pleasantly IMHO. Also I liked the personal design involement, and the $189.00 price suits me just fine. | ||

From December 2001 archives... Donn's mufflers, pre-race and race header versions. Very nice, robust looking pieces.  | ||
| Henrik |
Al, Seeeu: Thanks, I'll keep the Stainless Specialties in mind. Make sure to give us an update when you get the pipe mounted. Henrik | ||

Rempss thanks i got everything straight now finally got it in and reset. Bikes running great.So far the D&D exhaust is unreal it sounds great its pretty loud but i like it that way,the boost in power got me off to and the old lady says that usually takes awhile As far as duribility it is built like a tank and D&D says it never needs repacking. I don't know if i should say this or not but i bought the system from parts 411 on the internet I called D&D to order it and the guy told me to call parts 411 they could get me a better price and they beat D&D's price by just over $100.00 bucks Sounds like an advertisement but i cant pass up a good deal. I will post any problems or complaints with the system if they arise. | ||

Blake, I bought a pipe last summer that looks like the ones in your pic from Stainless Specialties. Mine is a Daytona BOSS. Is it the same pipe? Has the Daytona H-D dealership decided to give up on making/distributing them? Is Stainless Specialties a spin-off of theirs? What is the air speed of a swallow? H-man | ||

i just installed a set of bub baddog exhaust and will soon be installing an s&s air cleaner assy does anyone know what is the best carb adjustments for this set up??? | ||
| Seeeu911 |
Bigmac, What part of the country do you live ? Is it the stock CV ? if so there is a ton of stuff here in the archives for rejetting stock carbs. I am riding with a guy today who has a bub on his M2 I'll ask him. H_man the top pipe is a Daytona Boss. the Boss is made by a company in Sebastian fl,Stainless Specialties for Daytona Harley. The pipe was the brain child of Rek, the Sales mgr @ Daytona Harley. Rek has moved on and I'm not sure what the Daytona HD folks think of Buell in general, much less a speciality adventure in performance pipes. I contacted SS and they made up a Boss style muffler to fit my race pipe. | ||

scccu911, i live in new england, mass to be exact and i have the stock CV. i will check the archives but any info you get will be appreciated | ||
| Blake |
Bigmac: Would you please post your question to the "Engine - Carburation, Fuel Injection and Fuel Delivery" page. Thanks. | ||

 Anybody know what the torque on the header bolts is for a "00" X1? | ||
| Rempss |
Road - 6-9 ft/lbs if memory serves me. Jeff | ||

Roadrunr, I just checked my service manual and it is 6-8 ft-lb. Good memory Rempss! | ||

Any one out there running an external disc Supertrapp with the competition only turnout? Does one still need to have diffuser discs? I cut my baffle section out and made it a 2.5" section with a 2.5" turnout end cap. Any personal insight would be appreciated. Chris | ||
| S2carl |
remember to re-torque after the first 3-4 rides. The header seems to compress the gasket after each heat cycle, causing the need to retorque. Carl | ||

You may also want to double-nut the header bolts and use some Locktite. | ||

Hi, Almost have the E-series on the 2001 X1 complete  . Check out http://www.mbsween.com/buell/exhaust.html The only issue now is slipon clearance. Also Someone who saw the pics indicated that the front exhaust mount had moved. Anyone see this problem before? Lastly I'm looking for info on how the front mount should line up. Should the Spipe mount up against the left side of the Y mount? Should the stock spacer fit without moving the isolator? (see my web site for a pic). I took it out for a ride, what a difference (I have the Race ECM and gutted Airbox)! Seems a little loud at RPM, but okay at idle. I can't belive how much better hte bike runs. Also I can't find the number for White Brothers, anyone have it laying around? Thanks Matt | ||

Take it back or I will allow an angered Pit Buell from Berthoud to dole out a "you are solving the symptoms, not the problem" spat. Heck of it is......he's right. A bit like placing a bandage on one's rib cage where you anticipate the knife will be thrust in..... think about it..... Court |
