Buell newbie

[dokaman]

I just picked up a new 07 (old stock) XB12STT in white and black. This thing seems to be awesome and I am hooked. I am interested in getting some pipes for it. I want something nice and throaty but not the loudest thing out there. I am also fine with the power for now and don't need to go for the whole race kit. Is there something you guys would recommend?

btw, I already removed the number plates.

what are the number plates for anyway? supermoto?

I've always recommended the drummer even though I don't own one. They're not too loud, but they add what I think is the best sound you can get out of it.

Congrats on the new bike!

Welcome to the Forum. Drummer is okay. But I stand by my Buell Race Kit.

This bike was taken to Pikes Peak by Team Latus Motors for the 08 hill climb race, then never raced. I assume the number plates were for that purpose.

I was told by the sales guy that this bike was sorta a cross between a supermoto and a street bike, but who knows.

I recommend Drummer for pipe as for the #plates well the STT came stock with it since it was there attemp to the hypermotard thing likr KTM and Duc, you can get a passenger pegs kit that need the plates to go.

Thanks for all the great info. I think I am going to end up with the Drummer or the Special O.P.S. pipe. I like the billet end cap on the Drummer but the price on the O.P.S. pipe. Is there any one that has had experience with both?
