ALL,
I have just posted a few pics of my bike on the dyno at D&D's. These images are in my gallery under Gadget. Please keep in mind that these are still a work in progress. I will post the actual finished product once complete. I have learned however that D&D have plans to offer both Black & Chrome finishes and 3 different end cuts..the straight / side slashed / & a top slash to match the flowing lines / curves of the Vision.
I have also just posted a very short VID of my bike on the dyno on my youtube account. My screen name is SEBakers and the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDiRd9JquQ4
Hmmm...not being real famliar with you tube it could be the way I am trying to access it but it says its private?? |

| Good question Lojak.....I believe they modeled the size the same as the stock size and I would think they would fit but let me verify this with them before I say with absolute certainty my friend. |

| ALL,
Sorry I haven't posted any updates in a while but I have been on a crazy schedule at work. I went by D&D's last Wed. hoping to get a longer video shot on the dyno but when I got there they had another bike on the dyno and mine was disassembled to some extent. I am off this coming Mon.-Tue. and will get back up there for a video shoot. So, please be checking early next week for additional pics/vids. They have completed the design and are cranking up manufacturing on these pipes. Getting real close!!

| I lost my internet connection yesterday before I could post the dyno sheet. Here it is...
I was so excited to finally get her back after 6 weeks at D&D's that took off work early Friday evening and the nice folks at D&D's were willing to wait after hours for me to show up. I rode it home (about 2 miles) and shot the vid and packed her up to ride to work the next day. I didn't realize at the time that we had a dad-gum snow storm arriving the next morning. Anyway, I haven't had her out on the road since I brought her home due to the weather, so I can't offer any observations on riding highway speeds yet. Supposed to be a good day tomorrow so I am looking forward to getting her out on the highway and seeing what she's got. I'll write an additional review tomorrow evening.
Here's the deal so far...I had some popping when I had the S1L2's on her and had purchased the Lloydz IAC & exhaust gaskets. When I picked the bike up Friday I was explaining to Aaron what I was gonna do and he said not to do anything until I had a chance to ride her. He said that he has not experience any popping at all (even on decel) with their pipes. I was skeptical but have to say that I did NOT have a pop one during the ride home last friday. Not saying its completely gone yet until I have had the chance to open her up and ride for a while. I'll keep yall posted on this.
Aaron said that their official roll-out will be in a week or so but they have completed a first production run so the pipes are available now. Not sure of the different prices but I will post a notice when they are available for viewing on the D&D website. I believe Aaron told me that they are going to run slightly over $600.00.
I am NOT a D&D employee or investor but have been a customer for several years and know many of the people there including the owner and have to say that they have always treated me extremely fair. I would recommend them to anyone. The owner told me that they plan to expand their exhaust offerings to include the other Victory models as well in the near future. Their next project is the Hammer. All you CC / CR owners...give em a call!!

LaPorte,Tx. | I just compared their dyno chart to mine. Both bikes are the same except for the pipes (mine S1L1) and the location and dyno. The D&D offer more mid-range torgue about 15% and about 7% more mid - range hp. In the low range they are about the same. In the upper RPM range the hp on the S1L1 is still cllimbing at the rev limiter. The torque is about the same for each on the high end. So after looking at the cost, I will stay with what I got. If I want more hp & torque, I'll go on the bottle. But if you have a stock bike and ready for a power bump, they should be on the list. Thanks for letting them use your Vision on the test. |

New Bohemia, VA | Scott, where do you live? I'd like to hear this first hand and make an assessment on them.
I Was talking with Joker tonight who is getting Lloyd cams without exhaust upgrade @ 28,000 on the clock. I was thinking the same on mine, however, when I need new pipes I wanted to do both. My stock pipes are sounding sorta mellow so I know at 65,000 I'm probably getting close to a change over. I don't like loud, but I like a rumble on the road, and kinda quiet on idle. Personally, the Vision has all the pep and go that I need, but why not add a little pazaz to the geezer glide... I've been following your D&D venture hoping it hits the sound I want.... |

I'll try to make that a reality later this year. I missed going to McAllen last year and itching to see my son, I'm trying to plan a trip for this year. It may be inconjunction with a trip to the Mojave for work and I would make it a point to pass through D/FW just to meet you and hear the pipes for myself. I'll keep you posted. |
