kawiking Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 rdz are some great pipes . they are comparied close to shears for power .. cant go wrong with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy_power Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 rdz are some great pipes . they are comparied close to shears for power .. cant go wrong with them. The RDZ pipes are actually pipes that Mat Shearer built and was sending out several pipes to Rob Earls and Dan hall for testing here in Michigan. Once they liked a set of hand built pipes that Mat designed and built, they had them stamped behind Mat's back. With that in mind, Mat worked on a better set of pipes and had them stamped. From the hours I have spent on the dyno and track testing, there are no better pipes for drag racing then Mat Shearer's pipes. Planet sand drag events are won by bikes, both yamaha and Honda by shearer pipes on almost all the bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispy05shee Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 hell ya thanks for all the input! I have another quick question tho.. might be changing my mind on the 4mill stock cylinder set up.. would i get more hp if i left the hotrod stock stroke crank in it and just threw a set of cubs on it? do those still come in 65,68,and 72mm for stock stroke?

And stamped pipes are not considered hand built pipes.. Whether or not they are Shearer copies, or were at one time actually Shearer's,I don't know and don't care. They are outstanding pipes.

Good 4 mil stock cylinders and stock stroke cub (68mm bore = 392 cc) are comparable in 300 ft times. 72 mm bore is the Super Cub and requires a little case work. Not sure is stock stroke is offered in that or not. Don't see why it shouldn't be, but I'd stay away from it for the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispy05shee Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 ok well if the 2 are pretty comparable then ill prob just go with the 4mill for now, if she gets tired of that at least i can always throw some 68mm cubs later to juice it up.

I heard a different story but either way you look at it.. its still third hand info. Robs pipes fit great. and his chrome is WAAAAAAY better then anything that has EVER came out of Matt's shop. I've seen dyno's of both pipes on the same bike.. RDZ's made the better power. But.. that motor was built to the pipe. There is no BEST pipe. Every builder has his own configuration.. Good builders can make the engine favor one pipe over another. Best thing to do is talk to the builder.. See what he's found to work the best on his setups.

Yo Shane who's dyno did you do the test on? I have a 200IX dynojet and have ran them back to back. The Shearer pipe has always been the better pipe. Rob or dan CAN NOT fabricate a HAND BUILT PIPE. Thats why Rob's so called pipe has remained the same. Good luck with that Nate built engine, you will need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't think I have ever seen any (what I would consider) hand coned/built RDZs either, but I think we are just talking about the off-the-shelf stamped versions of Shearer/RDZ.
