Hawk Performance Mufflers!!!

[50dro]

I had planned on getting the quiet version, but after talking to Randy I wasn't sure if I wanted to give up the performance for the volume, considering I haven't ridden/heard one to know what the volumes or power gains would be anyway, so I just told him to do what he thought was best. I'll see how it goes.

You can always swing by to hear mine if he hasn't built yours yet...

I have the loud version and it has a great sound it's awsome but when I want to go on a long ride I would like it to be quieter. So I did some research and found these removable inserts. They are called db dawgz made for tracks that have a sound requirement. I have no experience so if anyone does please chim in.

I was out your way yesterday, went right down G.E. road. If I had a 12 I'd probably consider the quiet more, if I even got an exhaust at all. Since I have the 9 and am really doing this just for the power gain I just told him to do what he thought would be best. Who knows if it's noticeable enough that I could feel the difference between the volume levels or not. As long as I can get by without my neighbors hating me, and squeeze through a park with some walkers/joggers on occasion without everyone glaring at me I'll be alright.

Anyone have work done to there race exhaust?

Cutting down the rear fender/license plate bracket, aka cheese grater.

Not Randy's work but the bike in the front would be after getting rid of the cheese grater and the bike in the rear before.

Well after a couple of months of withdrawl I have ordered my second Hawk muffler. Going to buy Bueldude's 09 XB9 Muffler and have Randy do it with his medium noise option. Randy is also going to send me the gear I need to mod it to quiet should I decide to do that. Live and learn I guess......

 

[50dro]

Nothing like a repeat customer!! [cool]

Anyone have a good map that will work with an 04 XB12 with an open airbox and a K&N? I've been running the race map but it doesn't seem quite right...

 

[fishgutz]

I'm running the LOUD pipe. It is quieter with the Shark Helmet. But my ears ring a little all the time. Happens to some of us old farts.
So one longer rides I wear ear plugs. Not ready to Randy modify it to medium yet.

 

[Phazernut]

Deal is done overall I am not out any money. I sold the last one for what it cost me and this one is going to cost the same with a better condition muffler. All I have to do now is wait. Decided to go once again with the standard muffler. Randy is tossing in the parts to quiet it down if I want to but I have taken a new attitude of..."The neighbors will get used to it." I know what they all drink so I can keep them happy that way....Never again shall I stay from the flock

 

[upthemaiden]

Is he sending you parts you can weld in later or is he making removable sound baffles? I'd definitely be into something removable someday.

 

[Phazernut]

Its parts to be welded in but I will see if I can mod it to be removable. I believe its some sort of washer he made that welds about 1/2 way into the exhaust tips.

 

[Bossanova]

I'd definitely be into something removable someday.

I picked up my exhaust from Randy while back and he had welded in the washers to tone it down.

This looks pretty nice... Might knock mine out and do this.

Looks Nice

By the way, I know everyone on the forum says it but Randy is one hell of a guy and super helpful. A true motorcycle enthusiast that is willing to share his experience and knowledge with you.

Well I have had the pipe on for over 2500 miles now. Still love it! Turns many heads and the performance is excellent.

In a friends quest for exhaust, he chose Hawk for obvious reasons.

Anyone thinking of getting a Hawk, stop thinking and order it already!

We threw together a video, enjoy!

Just got off the phone with Randy. I can not wait to find a spare muffler and send it to him. Great to visit with him about his work.
Thanks Randy!

Anyone heard anything on prices and sound bytes for the 1125 can yet?

 

[03Firebolt9R]

I called Randy a couple of weeks ago and he said that he was going to have pics, prices and sound clips for the 1125 muffler on his website soon. But nothing yet.

 

[Hammel13]

Any body got a stock muffler they would be willing to part with. Let me know please would really like to get this mod done

 

[Phazernut]

Just got my second Hawk in the mail. Had it installed in about 30 minutes. Did my TPS reset and 3000RPM ride. Now I'm happy again.......neighbors....not so happy
