Default Stage 1 with Drago's 2:1 Dragula Pipes

Last week I installed my stage 1.

Got tired of waiting for Rev Perf to come out with an EMS for 2011s so I got a Thundermax TBW. I have Drago's Bike Works Dragula 2:1 with 2.55" baffle and a big sucker intake.

The install was pretty straight forward and the O2 sensors fit with no problems at all. I did have to notch the mid heat shield to clear the large bore pipes. (picture below)

The bike runs great and is noticibly faster 65 to 90 mph in sixth!
The pipe is quieter than I expected when I just cruising, but it will speak with authority when I get into it!
I need to run couple of tanks of gas through her to before I know any more...

P.S. Black bikes sure are pretty when they are clean...


I also installed a Stebel chrome air horn just make sure I can let the cagers know I am there. I had to find different position to mount the Stebel as I have a Lenale fan where the horn normally mounts... The feeble OEM HD horn was a joke. The Stebel horn is very loud and well worth the money...

Looks good. I keep thinking about buying one of these pipes myself just because Frank is such a great guy to deal with.

Man that rear pipe is really pushed back. Did you notice an increase in heat under your seat now?

After 400 miles I can now tell you that there is significantly less heat everywhere now!
This is a very good thing...
Of course the stronger accel and better sound don't hurt either!

Funny thing, i just talked to frank today on the phone. He is definitely enthusiastic about his pipes and seems to be a knowledgable guy. I was just curious about the dragula, after speaking with him, looks like i have a set of thunderheader slip ons and an 09 headpipe for sale. lol

stage 2 is just a cam either torque or horsepower, stage three is cylinders and pistons PLUS A CAM that is suited to the stage 3 upgrade.

I have a stage 3 on my bike you wont be disapointed!
