decon Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 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.

okbeast Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have ran that setup before, ran great. My jetting was a little off so I was missing out on some of the mid-range but if jetted properly it'll run great all through the RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMeltIcexX Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I loved them on my dune bike and drag bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 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.

rubberneck Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Matt makes some good pipes but he can lick my balls.

decon Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Matt makes some good pipes but he can lick my balls. I will never buy anything he sells again...... I'd go along with that.......... except for the ball licking. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomeySheeLE Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Burt Reynolds Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I know a few guys who have tried both cpi and shearer,and both guys say for straight top end drag racing shearers are better,but the CPI's have more tourque as well as the top end. I know i friggin love my cpis' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 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 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.
