I wonder if he is a fan, or an intern?

wow, nice job on the tank. Brammo horns!

Except it still has the same branding problem the existing production model has.

Who makes it?  No-one knows!  Some mysterious company named 'Empulse?'

Simple fix...

a photo of my Empulse up at Mesa Verde, Colorado.

now either paint that Brammo logo white...or maybe Brammo could send some nice white brammo stickers to cover the black writing....

Oh I know it's there!  Just the slight problem that no-one else in the entire world does.  Believe me, it adds to the Batmobile-esque mystique of the thing, but the number of times that in traffic sitting at a stoplight I have found myself yelling out to another rider "B! R! A! M! . . . " etc.  The company name should be on the tank where others can see it!

Or on the black slanting side frame beam, just in front of Empulse as in:

BRAMMO                   EMPULSE

People ask me all the time too... They ask if the brand is Empulse. A large Brammo with smaller Empulse R on the frame would be better.

Sure, but that's basically right where your knees go.

For example, here is an upstanding gentleman riding his gentlemanly motorcycle:



Who makes this motorcycle??  I am a well-heeled passerby who happens to see this majesty of engineering on a city street, and I want to know to which company I should immediately direct all my dollars.  Is it EMPULSER, Inc?  Who knows!

Sure, the embossed logo on the bottom could be made a different color, but sitting in traffic next to a car hood or whatever, it'll rarely get seen either.  If I'm sitting next to another motorcyclist at a stoplight and they ask me who makes it, am I going to lean the bike over and point to the belly pan with my boot?

Now like I said, it certainly adds to the mystique of the thing.  But haha even I get tired of spelling the name out for people sometimes.

I have a Tesla > Edison bumper sticker on the side of my bike. Probably 50% of the people that comment on the bike ask if it is a Tesla, despite the Zero brand being printed in at least a dozen places on the bike.

Sometimes you just have to tell people : P

The first Google search result for Empulse is the Brammo site, but yes, I'd like to see it more prominently displayed.  I'm not sure it would cut down on the number of people asking because if you see both "Brammo" and "Empulse", you're not going to think either is the name of a manufacturer.

Speaking of Brammo logos...

Who owns that black BMW car that I spotted a couple of weeks ago in SSF with the Brammo sticker on the trunk?

[Virtually Yours]

I removed the Empulse R decal on the side and covered up the Brammo on the bottom with "Super Bright" reflective black flames. I actually like looking at the confused faces starring at my bike. I don't mind taking the time to sell Brammo and I make sure I direct them to the website. After all word of mouth (and my Brammo grin) is the best form of advertising.

We agree.  In future the Brammo name will be more prominently displayed on the Empulse and existing Empulse customers will receive Brammo decals which they can place on their pride and joy. If anyone call tell me how many Brammo logos there are on an Empulse (and yes I will be including the ones you can’t see that are on the BMS circuit board) then I am sure we can come up with a suitable reward........
