I Replaced My FAVORITE Rebel 1100 Exhaust… With THIS?!

[@o.stucki9304]

I have the Coffman shorty exhaust on my 2018 Rebel 500 and it sounds good with the baffle in. As you ease off the throttle it burps and makes other cool noises. Their customer service is excellent as I had talked to Mrs. Coffman while ordering. The shorty leaves you plenty of room for larger bags. Good choice you made!

[@QuasiMotard]

Congrats on the Coffman's Thunder! I think you'll really enjoy the product... the construction and customer support can't be matched! I was grateful to actually meet Wyatt Coffman and visit their facility in Ukiah, CA during on my return trip following the 2021 Scooter Cannonball Run. They make everything in-house, so they have fantastic quailty control and the ability to rapidly make changes according to customer feedback. Wyatt is great to work with for custom projects and he's eager to try new solutions with his customers. The ability to carry larger, symmetric panniers is fantastic for touring. If you and Nina are riding separate bikes on your trips, then you might look at something like the DrySpec D38 dry bag to strap across your back seat. That's the setup that I use on my Rebel for touring... plenty of space for all my touring and camping gear. BTW... how did you get back and forth from those private test roads in Mexico for your high-speed runs? 🤣👍 --QM

[@LifeOfBurch]

That’s awesome that you were able to see their facility! I’m sure that was super neat to check out. You can tell Wyatt and everyone over there love what they do and stand behind their work! As for the trip to Mexico…let’s just say it was an arduous journey, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get the people the content they deserve!! 😂🤘🏻

@@LifeOfBurch Hey you seem to have to done alot of changes to your bike. I was wondering if you know the center to center spacing between the handlebar clamps. I am trying to put single piece risers on my bike and most manufacturers make risers for harleys and indians which work with 3.5 spacing between the handlebar clamp bolts center to center. I fucking hate the rox riser pivoting risers. Cant find a good handlebar for this bike either as the bars are 1" that taper to a 7/8 and the bar has to have tbw inserts in it. I am 5:10 as well but the reach is getting uncomfortable for me.

[@LifeOfBurch]

@@gsin311 I’m not sure of the spacing, but another thing to consider is you’ll have to drill out the triple tree. The bolts for the Rebel risers are 12mm and Harleys are 1/2”. I’ve looked into doing it too and pretty much any good option you’d need to drill out the triple tree, which I just don’t know if I’m ready to do 😅

[@gsin311]

Do you feel that the riding position is good enough for you. I am good for about 30 minutes or so. After that its not comfortable anymore.

[@sarahbaker8217]

I put on my Coffman exhaust a couple weeks ago. Love it! Also, I have to rave about their customer service and the fact that (for me) they are a local small business.

[@stevereubart8255]

I love my Coffman's Thunder. Super high quality and sounds nice. The custom engraving is awesome!! Since you have the passenger seat, you will need a 3/4" spacer to mount the exhaust. I have some extras if they didn't include one.

[@B1ackMagix]

Having just bought my 1100 DCT, I'm really looking forward to see what options you explore for saddlebags. My friend has sent me to your channel a ton of times and I finally pulled the trigger this weekend on a GORGEOUS burgandy 1100 DCT over the weekend. Since then, I've been exploring your videos for information and the number one thing I want is saddlebags!

[@klaytonmayeaux8966]

I will say with the baffle sounded PERFECT to me! I would have preferred the look and sound overall of that Koffman w/ baffle. I hope they do the etching option publicly (even if it's an additional charge) so I can get my emblem etched in too!

[@DuE_WerK]

Just put mine on today. Left the baffle in and holy shit this pipe is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. A good base full sound that isn’t overly obnoxious while riding. And damn it looks so good! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kamilaha8565]

NINA WHEN ARE YOU POSTING NEXT !!!

[@originalgaige5619]

I've noticed Coffman gaining more and more popularity over the past year or so. Probably has to do with the fact they don't rake you over the coals for the price of it, compared to other shorty exhausts. It helps they sound good, with or without the baffle.

[@LifeOfBurch]

Agreed!! I forgot to mention price in the video, but the Coffman’s Thunder is $400 including the baffle, and the TBR is over $600 once you add the optional baffle! 😳😳😳

[@ennigmaa]

But when I think about it snow bite will get stoked at the exhaust for a throwback mention in the video. The same reason applies to two brothers if not three

[@brentevans6923]

[@adamrobinson9112]

I'm sold. It sounds amazing. I don't like the look of most of the upswept ones, so this one is perfect.

[@wooberdooba4019]

Did you have to tune anything? Or does it work with stock setup? I have the 2022 1100 and the factory muffler sounds terrible.

[@JimmyHamAnp]

I put the Coffman on my CTX700N, but went back to OEM. Preferred the quieter exhaust and did the high temp black to match all other black parts!

[@candacea749]

I truly hope they make this for the 500! Great video, ride safe.

[@AyaWetts]

I've had a Coffmans Thunder on mine for like 6 months now... its great.... smaller and lighter and doesn't mess with saddle bags.

[@justinsutherland7214]

I can see the plus sides of the Coffman especially with you wanting to do bigger bags. I'm still leaning towards the TBR for overall sound and looks personally. I don't plan to do bigger bags though either. Always good content man!

[@LifeOfBurch]

Can’t go wrong with either of em! Especially if you don’t need bags, the TBR will sound way gnarlier for ya 🤘🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting brotha!!

[@catskilldesignz7697]

Ooh I'm so excited LOL I just got my Coffmen's today. Gona take the bike to get my inspection done before becoming an outlaw. 🙄🙄🙄 Stupid NY exhaust laws.. Then Off to the garage and put the exhaust on... I can't wait. Thanks for the video .... Ride safe you 2...

Sounds amazing. even with the baffle. That will be very nice on a longer trip. The loudest stage will be too loud when travelling.

[@genoapb]

Another great video! Exactly the exhaust I'm looking for. Looks like it would clear swingarm bags too

[@timvaughn5588]

I still like the two brothers racing exaust the best. I guess what it comes down to is preference. The Coffman exaust is really nice as well.

[@yamaharider8014]

The Coffmans exhaust is a winner. I would keep the baffle in, but it did sound good without it. Any bike I buy has gotta have storage, and with the straight design allowing for larger bags, it's a no brainer to use it....

[@cloydlacsina1915]

Just got mine today. Thanks for the review. ❤

[@johncosentino4407]

Looks good but I love my 2BR exhaust. I put heat tape on the bottom of my bags. Works great.

[@edwaters6435]

Great vids. On your previous review of the 1100T, you noted how difficult it may be to upgrade the exhaust because of the bags. Looks like a great solution right here. My wife is looking for a lighter bagger. She is tired of 'pushing' around her Vaquero 1700. The 1100T may be the solution, but she does not enjoy the refrigerator exhaust sound, out of the box.

[@sinnarides]

I was looking at getting a coffman thunder for my Rebel 1100 already, but seeing the new logo design on yours has sealed it for me. Definitely gonna get one now.

[@thfreakinacage]

Ok that engraving is absolutely sick! That alone makes it worth it!

[@LifeOfBurch]

[@thfreakinacage]

@@LifeOfBurch Absolutely beautiful, and extremely well made from what we can see in the video! I should (finally) be getting my 1100 this year. Don't think I can get these exhausts here in Australia that easily though. Found a supplier than does V&H but not much else. Here's hoping though, because I really want some sort of bags on mine as I plan to use it for work commutes. 🤞

[@hermanos1ai]

The pitch sort of reminds me of a Ducati actually. So I can see what you mean by more refined. If there was a slider bar, Coffmans is towards the Ducati end while TBR is more towards the Harley end.

[@Sqippy]

Thought I'd get a 500 or 1100 next but nobody wanted to give me a shot at a bigger bike, not like Harley wanted to at least. Came out of the dealership with a 2016 Iron 883 with a dent and a few scratches but let's be real, 6140 for a bike that runs perfectly is a steal.

Why not get the low mount tbr exhaust ? That way you can get saddle bags still.

I’ll still rock these bags for daily use even when I get bigger bags. I only need bigger bags for longer trips, these are perfect for my needs otherwise. We already did a weekend trip to the mountains with nothing but these bags for storage 🤘🏻

[@Merc399]

@@LifeOfBurch word i had saddle bags that looked just like that (bag to bike size ratio) and it just cracks me up seeing bags that small on a cruiser haha. Leaves pleanty of room for the passenger tho! some can get in the way

[@penguinairlines]

For once, Burch is doing an upgrade after me! MUAHAHAHA!!! I see QuasiMotard was already on top if it with his comment. Big thanks to him for his great video on this product as well! I hope you love the thunder. I haven't even bothered to remove the baffle yet since I think it sounds great as-is. I'm planning to get the SW Motec Legend bags, as soon as I can pool together the >$1000 for 55L of storage, and I expect it to fit with this exhaust. It's also way easier to lift the rear fork now without the original suitcase exhaust. Mine has browned up a little bit after seeing some inevitable rain on an 1100 mile trip, but I expect it will clean up with some soap and water. Now for me to get the same shocks, foot pegs, fender eliminator, and windshield as Burch... budget permitting :P

[@pcthayer]

I'd run it with the baffle. It sounds great and I think your passenger will appreciate the less noise when riding with you..

[@LifeOfBurch]

Even without the baffle it’s surprisingly MUCH quieter than the TBR when cruising at speed, and then gets loud and throaty once you punch the throttle. My passenger never had an issue with the TBR’s sound level in the first place though, even on multi-hour trips.

[@pcthayer]

@@LifeOfBurchThat's good. Must have a good fitting helmet or she wears earplugs. :-)
