Shearer or sniper pipes


Recommended Posts

I kinda mentioned this the other day to daj. I don't think think it will be just dyno results or just track results that dictate wich pipe is better. When people use a dyno it is a tool for tuning. And what most people aren't getting when it comes time to guys proving the pipes at the track, is that they don't necacarrily mean wich bike finishes first. Albeit that kinda becomes a factor. When testing on a track you must first have a consistsant baseline. Typically there are people who can run their bike with in a few hundredths or at least a consistsant tenth. For instance a guy who races regularly might run between 4.30-4.40 all day at a test and tune. Now you take that same bike and put the different pipes on. Here is the point where I feel that the previous dyno testing would help so that you know relatively how it should be tuned at the track. Any way, make a few passes to verify tune up and begin your routine passes for e/t. This is where the difference is seen. Does it 60ft better overall? Does it have higher trap speed? Are the average et's getting faster. Then comes the chassis issues that every one bickers about. Is the bike blowing the tire off on the new pipe? Is it because it hits the same power later but more violently? Or is it because the new pipe makes more torque earlier? Is the new pipe wanting more gear or less gear? Those are all factors that if under stood can help determine if indeed they make a better choice. Don't worry about the win light till that shit is sorted out.

There are too many variables for any bike, any track, any build to say if a winner is due to a pipe only. So I don't think it will ever be solved in stone.

 

I can say this...if two products are very similar in results, I'll pay a little more in price for better quality.

And quality can be defined in a number of ways...

 

I've never, ever said either pipe was faster. If you have more quality choices out there, no one loses...except maybe some butt hurt fan boy/cheerleaders.

And that's always going to be the case no matter what in anything we do...racers are no different.

 

When you have the biggest target on your back, which clearly Shearer has had for a very, very long time, you'll see these kinds of arguments.

That actually is flattering to Matt because how long his pipe has been considered the performance standard.

 

But like I've said before, the world isn't flat...and even a little improvement, which could be fit, function OR performance, is an improvement.

 

If all we had in the Banshee Industry was one builder, we'd be riding ported OEM cylinders. We don't, we have choices...which is good for everyone.

Just because it's not YOUR choice, doesn't mean it's a bad choice for someone else.

Two rides and one of the rivets broke off on my silencer. So now smoke is shooting out the sides.

 

Oh, and I expect royalties on that picture. Everytime someone uses is put $5 in my PayPal please. Thanks.

 

Yea, but Shearer is a nice guy so don't worry about the quality.

 

Your such a sweet heart lol.

You're such a moron. It's not "YOUR a sweetheart." It's "YOU'RE a sweetheart."

 

Fucking idiot. Quit worrying about sucking Shearer's dick and enroll yourself in a GED program. Learn some basic fucking grammar skills. Ignorance radiates off of you and everyone can see just how educated you are.

Great Idea!

 

 

All profit proceeds from the sales of THIS shirt go to you first. At least until we get your bike sanatized. Everbody else, get in line.

lol thanks for the help man.

 

Yeah I know you have told me all this before mister.

 

Its always personal here it seems. Lets not talk about the topic, lets see if we can run around and bash on each other for absolutely no gain at all.

 

I don't consider it bashing when it's the truth. You're ignorant, plain and simple. You run around spewing 2nd and 3rd hand information. You contribute nothing and ONLY pop up when something is said about your master. Are you on his payroll?

I like this one...

 

"NASA fabric and hose clamps...for those Shearer days."

 

Or...

 

"Shearer's...because running air filters is stupid."
