Shearer SB Inframe's?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering how you guys like them, im going to be running them with a HJR Dune Port. I have T5's But I wanted more top end like a drag bike setup so kevin suggested I get some shearer's. If your running shearers with a HJR dune port or whatever type of porting then drop a post.

yeah that's what im pretty much going for, a dune/drag bike. but still being able to play around in the runs without having to mash the throttle. kevin told me i would lose a little low end but gain more top end, i just hope i dont loose too much low end.

i've been told that shearer doesn't sell them chrome anymore from the factory? but the set i picked up has good chrome, they just need to be cleaned. I was actually thinking about picking up a set of CPI's, anyone ever tried both pipes?

I have run them both back to back on the dyno with my red bike. The Shearer's make a little more power, but it's at the expense of torque in the mid-range.

 

Currently, I have the CPI's on my red bike and the Shearer's on my blue bike. I ported the blue bike differently to accommodate the torque loss in the mid-range. :geek:

I havent tried Shearers, but love my CPI's on my 4mm dune port..

 

I dont know what Matt is like as far as guy to deal with, but after reading this post I'm not sure I'd be willing to support him.. at least a few members definitely have some bad impressions..

Matt's just flakey and kind of arrogant. He rubs folks the wrong way sometimes. :cool:

He went through a rough patch with his chrome I know, his show chrome look like someone pissed out some chrome spray paint and that was it. I've got a set now that is good show chrome, but has fuckin holes in some of the welds...if you got the big bucks and are a big name I'm pretty sure he takes care of you well. Granted he is just one guy doin the work as far as I know.

Two pieces of insight:

 

1.) Cascade sells Shearer pipes that they buy bear and chrome them through vendor that works with the company I work for. As far as new Shearer's go, they are the best plating you can get.

 

2.) Matt's in-house / production chrome from 4 years ago was garbage for several reasons. First, there are not any good plating vendors around his shop (he learned that they same way I found there weren't any good heat vendors in SoCal (the hard way)). Second, he was having the polishing prep./work done at his shop my a low wage/unqualified guy to save on cost, but good plating is 80% prep. and that turned into a mess.

I have Kevin's HJR Dune/Play motor. He ported it for the CPIs I was running and it ran damn good once the jetting was figured out.

 

After I switch to SB Shearer pipes the jetting went way down But I notice a performance increase all around. I didn't have any dyno sheets to compare against because at the time I dyn ed I didn't see the need.

 

I wouldn't go back to the CPIs again and Kevin said he can make some minor porting changes and get a hew more ponies out of her if I want.
