Drag Performance Tips

I’ve had these pipes for awhile now and they are still my favorite mod I’ve done. They are on my Street Cup, which has shorter silencers than the Twin to start with. The drag pipes gave my bike so much more character, with a sound that is not really much louder, but reminds me of that pleasant rumble of a nice ‘60s muscle car. When you really give it the beans it makes you feel like you are piloting an old British Spitfire, with that menacing, raspy scream that is only a Brit twin. Two of my neighbors have bikes, one an Indian and one a Thruxton R. They both say that my bike is the best sounding one of the three! They are a snap to install if you can do any basic maintenance, and look the business. As far as some saying they didn’t get any installation hardware, as I remember I had no issues there. Oh, and I was surprised as a bonus to drop some weight off the bike, as the short cans on the Cup weigh in at around 10lbs. Another bonus is the minimal design of these pipes gives you easier access for doing routine chain maintenance.

As a summary, they sound great, look great, easy to install, make you more manly, lower the interest rate on your mortgage, make you more appealing to your partner, impress your boss, make you the life of any party, and increase the chances of winning the lottery. Ok, I may have exaggerated a bit, but just get them, ok?

Received these today and raced to install them. Was a bit confused at first about how they connected to the cat but quickly worked it out "I Hope". Re-clamping the heat shield holds them in perfectly. I was also unsure where the new kickstand stop was to fit. A little study and realized the new stop with its bolt replaces the front one of the two frame bolts.

Oh, what a beautiful melodic growl they produce. Louder than stock but not obnoxious. I can be heard but not hated. I let the bike run through one heat cycle (till the cooling fan first came on) before revving or riding it. This allows the ECU to learn the new setup. Then the smile could not leave my dial when I took to the road. The bike sounds exactly as it should.

I've previously owned a T120 and added Sleeper pro pipes, then added an x-pipe. The sound was way tooooooo loud after the x-pipe went in. Also, de-cating the bike, took away all engine braking which I hated.

This bike, with just the pipes, IS PERFECT.

Install takes about an hour; nothing complicated.

Sound at idle is what you’d expect at approx 4500 rpm with the stock set up. Needless to say 4500 rpm with these is lot more fun.

Not obnoxious but absolutely more volume and a great time.

Just do it, you know this is the 17th time you’ve thought about it already.

I bought these a week after I bought my bike. I wanted to go with the loudest setup I could without removing the cat, and these delivered. The guys at British Customs spent a good amount of time on the phone with me answering all of my questions, and I eventually chose these. Install took about a half hour on my 2018 Bobber.

I just had my bike in for it's first service and the mechanic commented on how well they work and that there were not excessive pops and other sounds on deceleration. I have not touched fuel maps or electronics.

Wow if you own a bobber get these pipes now that simple ! Amazing noise
