Finally got home, and my Hawk was waiting for me. Looks terrific, can't wait to get it on the bike, but this stupid winter is driving me nuts.

Just got mine back from Randy yesterday.  Got it back on, along with the new race ecm from Buell racing.  It sounds great.  Along with everywhere else it seems..gotta wait for the snow to melt for a test ride.  Super quick turn around..thanks Randy.

The reverb driving it back into the garage set off the alarm on my wife's cherokee.

That sounds great! I have to redo my DIY now for sure.

WHY WHY WHY would you post that. I installed mine a week ago, and have not been able to fire it up due to weather. Maybe sometime next month I will be able too...  Jealous, sounds great.

Mac, one of the reasons I moved my family south. Ha ha.
I love snow. Grew up in NH. Live in NE for all but my 4 years on the USAF. But it was time for a change.
I love the longer riding season in NC. We don't have to snows of New England or the drenching rains of FL and searing heat of AZ. Also not nearly as expensive as SoCal.
I recording a sound clip in the garage this AM. Saturated the mic on my iphone.
Supposed to get over 50 tomorrow and Saturday. I'll have my son hold the camera while I do a drive by. Or maybe I'll get a skinny friend to do it so y'all don't have to see what the Michelin Man would look like sitting on a Buell.

I have been trying to get a hold of Randy... Email works, phone # comes up as like a dial up tone/fax machine or its busy. Randy-- Any other suggestions? My pipe is all boxed up and ready to ship.

Fish- that pipe sounds SO good! Very deep thump.

Rebel, Try this number for Randy. Works for me.
706-260-9734

Pockets, it sure does. Check the April 2009 clip for the stock sound.

Looks like I might be able to sneak out before the "boss" gets back from my son's tryouts to see how it sounds under load. Fat load that is.

nope, still dial up tone
Posted:  18 Feb 2010 22:42 [?]  
That is very strange. Are you calling from a work phone? If so, you may have to dial 9 first.
PM me your phone number. I'll call randy and give him your number.
Also, he does respond quickly to email in the evening.

This is Randy give me a call on my cell phone. My cell # 1-706-260-9734.

Got her out for a short ride.Wow. It sounds really good and I haven't even had time for the ECM to adjust as much as it can. Now just waiting for enough warmth in a day to take it for a dyno tune. But if they quote more than the cost of the EBR Race ECM, I might just go the EBR route.

Lol Randy just comes out and gives his personal cell number out to fellow bikers all across the country. True american.

Yeah this man is great, Helped me out with the real TPS reset, I wouldn't have got it right on my own. True Buell lover!

Turns out that Max Speed can't do a dyno turn on my Buell unless I have a Power Commander. And PC doesn't make one for the XB's. So I have 3 choices. ERB race ECM, ECMSPY Mono and lots of prayers, taking to the awesome Buell mechanic at HD Greensboro.
The most hassle free will probably be the race ECM. I am not enough of a mechanic to mess around with ECMSPY. If something breaks, I can swap parts out. But tweaking fuel ratios and timing. I'd screw it up.

Emailed Randy a few days ago. No responance.. hope he's just busy and will get back to me soon.

Army Dude, you will love the Hawkified pipe.
Looking good for getting out today for a little while.
I'm going over some tuning options to get the system optimized for the K&N plus Hawk.
But it finally sounds like a bad ass v-twin.

Just spent some time consulting with "Dr. Steve" the Buell master at HD Greensboro. He was sure that the XB ECm can relearn and compensate for both intake and exhaust changes and that he was pretty sure that is why Power Commander doesn't make a module for the XB's.
I did the Drummer suggestion of riding it above 3500 RPMs for 20 minutes.
When leaving the HD dealer parking lot I did a hard acceleration. For the first time the front end got light on me. And that ain't easy with my nearly 15 stone on the bike.
Butt dyno sense some nice improvement. If it is nice one day next week I'll get a dyno run done to see what it is doing.

The ECM will change if you ride the bike over 3000 RPMs for 15 to 20 miles. After you change the Muffler or add a K&N air filter or both. For more info give me a call706-260-9734!!!!!

I got a hold of Randy and sent him my pipe. What an awesome guy!!
Posted:  21 Feb 2010 18:41 [?]  
I can't wait to get home from Afghanistan to rip my pipe off and send my pipe in to become a Hawk pipe.

Bolt020283, You must love Toby Keith's "The Taliban Song."
Thanks for you service. Get back safe. Left me know when you send your pipe to Randy. If I can, I will kick in $50 toward the pipe. It is the least I can do for someone risking life and limb so we can sleep safely at night. PM me when you get back.

firebolt020283:  Definitely let us know when you get home and send your pipe.  I'll kick in what I can too.  Like fishgutz said it's the least we can do.  I just put mine on tonight!  I couldn't take it outside so I opened the door and windows to the basement and fired it up.  All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!!!!!  Randy you are the man I can't wait to ride this thing.  Just the sound it made in my basement made my heart beat go through the roof.  Another happy customer so far.  We will see how the first ride goes.  Its a bit cold and all the cinders and salt on the road might not mix to well.  Sorry for the long message.  I'm just excited if ya'll can't tell.

XLR, my reaction exactly. I had to wait until after dinner to put mine on the day I got it back. And then I had to get a short video clip to uplead.
Rubbles quite a bit in a closed room.
