    which is better for more power?

    Should I buy the kit that adds 50ccc or go with a power commander....if so should I purchase a new exhaust as well? Any good exhausts out there? Was thinking a D&D but also like the hawk

    when asking things of this nature OR most anything else regarding mods or repairs or recommendations it helps immensely if you post up the year/model/mileage of your machine. buell ecms and add-on map modifier modules don't play well together.

    Most power per dollar will come with free flowing intake, exhaust, and a fuel map that matches them.

    sorry it is a 2003 buell xb9r with 16XXX, ive had her for a little over a year. no ecm. I'm in Rochester so it's a bit tough to find someone who will work on these machines.

    You can dump double the price you paid for the bike with modest gains at best. Cooter hit the nail on the head, free flow intake, exhaust and the proper tune... The 3rd is the charm. You can dump money on exhaust, do a open airbox ect. without a tune it won't maximize its potential, may even run worse...

    I love my Drummer SS and if that's too loud there is always the standard Drummer. You also can get a preprogrammed ECM for most mufflers from idspd.com it's not quite as good as an actual tune but it works good enough for most. The open air box kit can be purchased here http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/websho...Conversion_Kit
    or you can always make it yourself. There also may be other places to purchase but twin came to mind first.
