Just saw they upped the price of the Vance and Hines for the bagger and TC to nearly double what it was before Christmas! Might just stay stock, as they were the front runner.

How much are the Vance Hines for the R18B??? I heard the sound on a clip sounds really good

If you bought em last week, about $900. If you want em now, $1600. Can only get black cans currently, with a back order eta of “who knows” for the chrome set.
 
Bummer there still isn’t much performance wise for these bikes. Just going catless this engine runs with my buddies 131kit road glide no problem

I wonder if third-party builder/modder shops are reluctant to develop for this engine until it’s proven that it’ll stick around in the marketplace I have no clue; what does the performance market for the r9t engine looks like in comparison?

These are impressive gains from some rather simple mods. Though I’d guess most of us aren’t going to want to run stacks. Nonetheless, you can see how hamstrung the bike is from the factory.

I’ve done the DNA airbox mod and Brentune to positive seat-of-the-pants results. I’d be super curious to see someone Dyno across the few different off-the-shelf exhausts (Vance, Jekill, couple others) to see where the bang for the buck lies. If those Vance pipes can be had at 25% off (or better, depending on what deals bmw runs throughout the year) and can pop a few ponies in, that’s a winner for sure. Trouble right now is there doesn’t seem to be anyone who has swapped pipes who can speak much more about them than the sound benefits.

I'm in Aussie and most brands are going to set me back $4000. I think I'm going to have a crack at making my own just for shit and giggles
