Hi all. Just got a Buell XB12S ('07 plate) - my first Buell! Oh what fun - great power and handling. It's quite funny watching mates on their sports bikes get their heads down to get a bit of speed up and just being able to sit there, twist the throttle a bit, keep up with them and GRIN!
The only thing I would like to change is the standard exhaust. Does anyone know a cheap way of getting a better sound from the XB?

looks like a stealth then - I'll try and get something posted in the "Wanted" section. Thanks for your advice. Here's hoping for a nice cheap one somewhere to finish the bike off (for now....)

Remus are cool too ..... and don't have the disadvantage of making the bike look like a 2-wheeled Chav Scooby .... lOl

If you have a Valencia Orange Buell then the Buell race pipe is good, because it soon matches the colour scheme :P

Hopefully selling my Buell soon if the stealth doesn't go with the bike it will be up for sale very soon after.
Think it should fit.
Are the headers the same size on a 05 xb9sx? Anybody know?
