I bought an 05 TB for my wife and put the RCR stage one kit on. Rick Ritter is a good guy to deal with. I had a few really dumb questions during install and he was always glad to help over the phone. The kit comes with pipe, silencer, clutch kit and carb jetts. Install was somewhat painless, if you don't count the pipe spring busting my knuckles. The power is nice. After you get the carb dailed in the tb will pull a wheelie with no problems. I weigh 180 lbs and have to use a little body to pull it up, but my wife, 115 lbs getts a little scare when she expects to spin some tires and the front end stands up. She is getting used to it tho. The noise is a bit loud, but I don't mind a loud bike. Makes the dirt bike guys at our local riding spot turn to look.

 

by hpd do you mean high performance designs? they seem to have a good power pipe and clutch kit, are they good, how loud is it?

 

hpd=high performance designs!!the hpd trail pipe will give you more power throughout the whole range than the fmf pipe will.the fmf was louder than my hpd unit and it didnt fit good at all..ill probably be selling my hpd trail pipe in the next month or so if your interested..

 

i just bought a HPD trail pipe w/ the spark arrestor silencer, also the standard clutch kit for the stock engine w/ the HPD pipe. My bike also has a k&n air filter on it. i wiegh 125 lbs, do you think i will be able to wheelie for dead stop with this setup? also is this pipe loud? Another thing, is this a good pipe ( better then fmf fatty)
thanx Nic P.

 

Nic yo wont be sorry but you will have to learn how to ride the thing all over again.It changes it THAT much.But once you master the engagment your face will look like this[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

thats awesome i can't wait for it to arrive. do you think i could pull wheelies from a dead stop? also is louder then stock

 

another thing i forgot to add was did i get the right clutch kit. i got the standard clutch kit not the agressive, they said for the non race kit get the standard. you guys are great i just wanted to say thank you for helping me choose the right pipe.
