I can't really believe I've been doing this as long as I have.

Yeah, that's #199 there. To all the people who believed in me and bought one, THANKS!!!
If you want the most power available for an 1125 using a slip-on exhaust, this is it. Should I do one for the 1190RX?

Do you enjoy what you're doing?
If so, then why not...

Honestly, I thought back when I started, if I made & sold 10, I'd have been doing well. That was enough to cover my initial equipment costs. It's gotten a little bigger than I'd figured it would. And yes, I do love doing this.

IDK, you think you can squeeze more power out of the 1190RX by redesigning its "long wave tuner muffler?" It seems highly specialized, and along with the swirl induction system, crucial to making the 185HP and 102 torque.

"Sold" and "made" are a huge difference!!
I'm doing my XB Lights taxes now and at first when you see the total income you think "hell yea" and by the time you deduct all your supplies, hardware , shipping, PayPal/bank fees, etc.... You have a totally different feel... Then divide by the hours spent on it all and realize you could probably get a part time job at Home Depot and make the same :-)
But like most Buell related businesses, I didn't start it to get rich. Working with so many different Buellers is pretty neat and call me a snob, but I love hearing all the positive feedback from my customers!! It's truly an awesome feeling. Don't get that feeling from the boss at the regular day job!
