dean...I have a Q. I have the 09 1125cr and it has the ebr ecm but with stock exhaust and the k&n filter. im wanting to order an exhaust from you, but what are my options for the ebr now that they are no longer in business?
www.xoptiinside.com
Built another one of these yesterday.
For those of you that were trying to order anything from the web store, or even contact me via the contact page, you have my apologies. Apparently the web hosting company decided to "upgrade" everything and they've managed to pretty well HOSE OVER EVERYTHING that took me a few years and tries to get working the way I wanted it to. The link to my website now redirects to the other site I'd been using for military sales and special discounts. Guess I'll have to figure something out soon, now I know why I haven't had a single sale for the last week or so.
New look, new e-store. Not a lot of info in it yet, but it's working again.
So... a couple questions for Dean or anyone in the know:
1. I need a frame of reference from someone who's heard both the XB-1 and Drummer SS on an XB12 (I've only heard the SS), opinions aside, how does the xb-1 sound volume compare to a Drummer SS? Not quality, not tone, just pure volume. At idle? At cruise?
2. Has anyone had to repack a Dean Adams exhaust yet? How difficult? I don't own a rivet gun so that means I've got to take it or send it somewhere...

They're probably pretty close, mine may be just a smidge quieter.
I've repacked a couple of 1125 systems, turned out none of them needed it. Only one that I know of has actually needed a repack, Jim Dugger's RT-3 is it. Race track use only, who knows how many miles but it's been abused pretty hard. In the couple of years he's had it, it's lasted longer than anything else he had put on the bike. I believe he went through 3 fmf systems in the same amount of time, all of them stress cracked and blew apart. Mine's still in one piece. The hard part is lining up the holes for the rivets, other than that it's pretty straightforward. None of the XB systems have needed a repack to my knowledge.

Not without having ill effects on performance. I typically ride with ear plugs, regardless of whether the bike has a performance or stock exhaust. Last night was the first time I'd rode more than 2 miles without plugs (I did about 12 on a test run) and the wind noise is what gets you. I'd kinda forgotten that since I've been using them for so long.
I test rode this last night.

If anyone is curious as to what Dean's pipe sounds like on an 1190rx on the track.

Finally got a chance to get to a reputable dyno shop, Cycle House Performance off of Watson Rd in St. Louis.
They've got a Bazzaz Principia dyno which apparently reads 15% lower than what Dynojet shows, so it's similar to a Superflo dyno in numbers. That said, it made 155.5 hp and 82.9 ft/lbs of torque. In Dynojet numbers, that equates to 178.8 hp and 95.3 ft/lbs of torque. As I recall, mine made 162/85 on a dynojet in stock trim. That dyno isn't available now, so eventually I'll have to put mine back to stock and take it to Cycle House again for a "stock" run.
Jerry (the owner of Cycle House) saw the air/fuel display on my bike and watched it at the end of the runs, it was reading 11.6:1 or so and he'd mentioned if I leaned it out up top I'd see another 5-7 hp easily since it was so rich. Well, there's a wrinkle to that. My bike was initially dyno tuned, but for the last couple of months, it's been ROAD tuned at speed, as in logged at whatever I was riding at. On occasion (more often than not) I did exceed the posted speed limits in an effort to capture valid data. Apparently the RAM air effect does work. The logs showed an AFR of 12.5-12.8:1, which is what I was after on the road. I guess what this means is, even though it shows as running extremely rich on a dyno, it's not rich while out on the road, and is potentially making even more power than what was observed on said dyno. It's possible I broke 183-185 hp, but without that forced air induction to prove it out, I guess I'll never really know for sure. I will say this, the bike was fast before, now it's even faster. Looks like it's a solid 10% gain in power from the exhaust and tuning. I'll take it.

Those are very impressive numbers! You do bring up a great point about the ram air affect. What about a leaf blower aimed at the airbox intake during a dyno run? It's not perfect, but you'd get 100mph airflow
