Hey, it was very nice meeting you two...thanks for helping me out with my decision on "which pipe?" Very helpful to be able to listen to all of them there, and I like the fact that the valve still works. What a weekend!!! P.S. Speaking of the Ducati/Buell bike I have his card as he will start producing these parts. The copper and black bike next to it had a 240 rear tire in the stock swingarm. That too will end up in there offerings... Again, it was nice to meet you, as well as all the fellow Buellers, for those of you who missed....don't miss the next one, you won't be sorry

Hey if you know this Ducati/Buell guy is there anyway to get him on the forum to discuss some of these custom mods? That bike is pretty sweet. I am really interested in the tail conversion and the headlight setup.

I met and talked with him and got his business card. Below is a link to their website. They brought 2 customs to the homecoming but only to Road America as they also brought at least 1 race bike. It was an 03 XB9R serial #oooo1. They are definately hardcore Buellers. grandstanddesigns.com

I myself am try to which aftermarket exhaust to use so I have no advice on that for anyone else. I did see 2 XB's on a trailer with Alabama tags that read "HIS XB" and "HER XB". Maybe it was them that you talked to. But yes it was a very good time indeed and we plan on going every year.

The Buell/Ducati was featured in a bike mag along with another absolutely outragous Buell. Unfortunatly I don't recall the name as it was a new mag(to me). Guess i'll just have to ride over to Borders again

The guy told me at homecoming that is was to be featured in Two Wheel Tuner magazine. That one's hard to find around here but I've been looking for it.

Nice. We couldn't make the ride to Ukes due to other family commitments in Sheboygan.

BadS1- is that the DrummerSS you have on that bike? How does it sound?

Its mellow deep tone but deep and gets louder as your on the gas. If you have heard the original drummer it sound about the same.
