The drummer for the 1125 isn't a gutted stocker, it's all new.
Pretty sure the Spec Ops will be as well.

Still... $$$

You don't know Drummer.




Though the price is WAY too much...good thing for me I don't own and 1125 and I already own a Drummer. Win Win.

I think I would have to look into a stainless or aluminum Hi-Perf car muffler with dual inlet/outlets and build my own for a couple of hundred bucks. I would hate to pay a $1000 for an under the engine slip-on muffler.
Maybe it wouldn't work, but for that kind of money I would be under the bike with a tape measure and a Summit Racing catalog figuring it out.

It's more than just a turbo muffler strapped to the bottom, this much I know. Kevin puts a lot of time into the design of his products.
Just not worth that money to me...

Maybe it's just the vid, but I wasn't too impressed. I agree with the above statement and I am pretty sure that one could be found to work. Hell, by the time that you bought said muff, had it welded on and sent it off to be hot dipped, you'd still have less in it than what they want for the Drummer.
