dajogejr Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just got mine in the mail... First off, without even putting them on my bike and I am ONLY talking about appearance here....WOW. PLEASE....the box just got here so I can not comment on fit, performance, etc. The head pipe where it connects to the cylinder has DOUBLE ORings. How nice. The welds are beautiful, smooth, etc. The finish is very, very nice. To the point when I get my real set (production set) I'll probably have it polished up a little and have them high temp clear coated. They look that nice. (If they run that well...you might have a hard time getting these back from me...lol). Seriously, I opened the box and first impressions of quality and finish are great. I'm riding tomorrow and Saturday and will have a ride report up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Sorry...best I have is two crappy cell phone pics. I was bustin my but to NOT be in the garage until midnight the day before the race. I fired it up...and am going racing tomorrow. Excuse the mess...it's been a LONG week!! Fit was very good. Best out of any OOF pipe I've used prior (CPI and Shearers) I put a small rubber washer between the pipe and peg. Two Orings to seal these pipes at the cylinder damn near gave me a hernia...tight fit. But I got them on. Keep in mind, PLEASE...these are test pipes. That being said...I can't Fricken wait to run tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee332 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Dave your going to like them. they sound different then any other pipe dont they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I only fired it up on purge gas to make sure it'll fire...probably didn't run for more than a minute. Just wanted to warm it up a hair and check some bolts for torque. I can't wait to make passes and try different stinger IDs and lengths. I hope the weather holds up..

dajogejr Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Well...to say I'm dissapointed with my luck would be an understatement. Gary @ Sniper busted his ass to get me these pipes on time for my race. I was in my garage putting it together every day last week...got done a little early Thursday and it fired right up. Loaded up and went to the track Friday. I made one pass...and was done. The Vito's crank has metal dowels instead of Orings to keep it from spinning the bearing races in the cases. When I split my cases and replaced the crank seal, these dowels were laying in the case instead of being in the crank race, so no biggie. I just put the dowels in the vice, mushroomed an end and pressed them back in. Well...after the first pass that dowel worked it's way loose and found it's way up in the cylinder. I don't know the extent of the damage, but at the very, very least a set of new pistons and a set of domes. I was really looking forward to run these pipes and give more feedback...but I spent more time drinking beer to drown my sorrows...: Gary...thank you so much for busting your hump to get these to me...and I'm sorry one pass on a wet track was all I got in. It normally takes me 2-3 passes to get tire pressure right, fuel/air, wheelie bar height, etc...so, no spectacular numbers from my one pass. I'm sending them off to my builder to let him try them out and see how they work for him...I hope his builds stay together a little better than mine...

dave5.0 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 My cylinder should be here tomorrow form Jim. Pipes are supposed to be shipped out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to have it ready for the LS trip. I'm getting inframes and Jim ported my 421. It'll be on gas. Not a true dragger but more dune. Should be an interesting ride with 100hp on my short little bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'd love to try a set on my DM... I'd like to see how they fit vs my shearers. Maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
