Nice.

I know I like the sound of the Drummer, like ebbs said it needs a chin fairing though.

As for delivery time... Odie says end of feb first part of March will be production. Doesn't seem to be a long waiting list for his pipe, but it's not the being drooled over on badweb either.
Drummer, Kevin has materials in for 10 production units. Still waiting on dyno results from the prototype. My guess is there will only be about a week diff in the delivery time, and there is a longer waiting list (from what people talk) for the Drummer.

Honestly it will come down to looks and sound. I know both of these guys will make sure it performs at least as good as the stocker.
I am just looking to drop a couple pounds and get some rumble out of the bitch!
XB pipes:

Drummer = $400 or something...
Spec OPS = $250.

The drummer is done...

A proposed 17hp gain from stock...
No word yet on pricing.

Still think I'm going to wait to hear from Odie, see what his final product is goign to look like.
I know I'm on the waiting list for a Drummer, but no where near the top.

Not bad. Any idea on how far down the list you are and when you can expect it?

No idea... The thread was about 4 or 5 pages long with "put me on the list" posts by the time I sent in an email. Plus I'm sure there are others not on Badweb too...

I'm actually leaning more toward Spec Ops because there shouldn't be as much of a wait, it should be cheaper, and I hope it will look/flow better with the lines on the bike.

Another week or two and Odie should have something to show at least.
Not like I'm missing any riding time anyway.

Just rode today...pretty hard, but it was cold (like 45-50). I've had the same suit for 6 years now, but its ripping in the arm, crotch as well as the pads are duct-taped in.

Need a new suit soon.
