spurdy Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've got stock hangers for mine I'm wondering how they would affect fit? Same issue with clearence. I have offset hangers and still had to space out about 10mm. It isn't uncommon with Shearers. You don't want to run it with it touching the head. It will wear into the pipe and develop into a crack. I get my springs from rocky mountain. They have several lengths. I use the long ones. To install you can use a small screwdriver through the spring loop like a T handle or spend 8 bucks on the spring tool. I'm too old to dick with not having the right tool so 8 bucks is a no brainer for me. It will be interesting tosee how those pipes run if Kevin ported them for the FMFs.

CFH87 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 The cyls were ported for shearer pipes. And thanks for letting me know where to get extra springs. I guess I will just have to off set the pipes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine ran great with CPIs and when I swtiched to Shearers I sent them back to Kevin for some tweaking and it runs awesome. One of the fastest dune bikes where I ride. Good luck!

CFH87 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Never ran a ported banshee before should be fun especially with the shearers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast-Fibers Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 It really is worth the money to buy a spring puller, I also had to space my hangers to clear my shearers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotax Raptor Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 May be to simple, but have you turned the stock hangar around so it sticks outward not inward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULEE350 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Stock hangers always bust overtime. We build custom per side out of steel. Never had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some nice aftermarket 2 piece billet hangers with a rubber grommet between them. Being 2 piece, the angle is adjustable and the grommet abosrbs the virbration. Best hanger on the market IMO. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFH87 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 That's what I hear is they are good pipes and I hope that this fitment issue is worth the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's what I hear is they are good pipes and I hope that this fitment issue is worth the hassle. I bet after you ride it (depending on your experience with other pipes) you wont have any questions. Fitment sucks, quality of the welds and chrome can be shitty (sorry but it's true, mine leak oil through several of the welds) but the performance is awesome.

hp2000 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Last 2 sets of Shears I've owned with the new dual o rings didn't leak from anywhere and fit like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
