It sorta sounds like that,ha ha
Sounds really throaty until the pipe fell off then it was like above
:rof: :Flip:
Hey Jerry, but doing Palo with your muffler literally held by a thread and threatening to let go at any time right under your tires (that'd be some speed bump, mid-corner...) is a serious thrill. You should try my bike next time :BLAA:
When the pipe fell off....it sounded like a Harley! :ban:
:Flip:
Great looking bike dude. Not sure if Buell does it on majority of their bikes (I have never noticed) but that is the biggest front rotor I have ever seen, ha ha. Wonder if that makes any difference from the standard design
Anyway looks great man, in for a sound clip
Erik Buell does things a little differently The rotor concept was to eliminate weight by increasing the surface area of one side (torsional loads eliminated by the fact that the rotor is mounted on the outer perimeter of the wheel). That way you don't need a second rotor or caliper. The caliper on my Buell is huge and has 8 pistons though lol go figure. Performance is comparable imo.
Congrats on the new exhaust.
I have the Hawkins pipe on my Buell also and it sounds sick.
Any MP3 will not do your pipe justice. It has been discribed as sounding like a vintage V8 Camero. It is kinda Harley like but not really.
I had also read that the Jardine needed repacking occastionally where as the Hawk pipe uses baffles vs packing.
Enjoy.
You are right about the fact that an MP3 or video doesn't really do it justice
I had multiple issues with my Jardine (blew the tip off as rivets "chew" through the CF, so I had to cut an inch of CF and re-rivet the thing on... then I had the clamp issue that grinded through the CF from the bottom of the muffler), and it did need repacking...
Hey but you're from da LBC!!! lol is your Buell see-thru red?
