kawa110 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Where are graphics from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops03shee Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Place is called All Motor Graphics. They have a bunch of different designs to choose from if graphics is your thing. They can put sponsor logos, your name, damn near anything you want on a set of graphics.TonySent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano3 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 really nice bike. Did you make the gusset kit or purchase it somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops03shee Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks dano3. I made the gussets myself. I used cardboard to make templates and then transferred everything onto sheet steal. Took about 3 hrs to make all of them using a band-saw, drill press, and sanding drum for the radius on the curves. It really wasn't that hard to make them. The hardest ones to make were for the area by the exhaust hangers that also support the steering hoop. There were a couple compound bends I put in to make everything sit flat against all mating surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing someone sell a kit pretty similar to yours on FB awhile back and was wondering if it was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops03shee Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Nope, that wasn't me, I avoid FB lol. I enjoy doing work like that so it wasn't a big deal to bang them out.I use to build and sell these about 10-15 years ago. Saw one once and wanted to build one so I made build plans and got to cutting, bending, and welding.

coops03shee Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 After a long wait for the motor, it's finally done. Got the idle set and let it run for a little bit to get some temp in it. After checking everything for leaks it was time to take a couple laps in the yard. First impression is Cameron did a great job on the motor!! Great pull even off idle. Gotta flush the cooling system to get all the anit-freeze out and swap to engine ice.Anyway, here's the dyno chart and some pics of it put together. Went with Pro Circuit pipes to start. I'll see how they feel and go from there. On the dyno sheet blue is FMF, green T5, brown Pro Circuit, yellow SLP, red CPI.Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schweet97Z Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Why Pro Circuit? My choice would have been SLP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzx10r Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Finally... a pipe comparison on the SAME engine!! I find it interesting that the CPI's and T5's made lower torque than the FMF Fattys. I've been saying for years that Fatty's are great performing pipes for an overall build because until you're topped out in 6th gear, it isn't HP that gets you over the line -- it's acceleration from TORQUE that pushes you there! The other thing I like is the power curve is at a lower RPM. Less wear and engine fatigue is exponential to RPM so I'd rather not have to scream at 10k to make powa. When you ride about 100 miles in the sand every day you're duning, wear is more of a concern than if you just zoom 300' 30 times a day (about 1-1/2 draggin' miles).... lol. This is when RPM is NOT your friend!! I wonder how the results would be on a dune ported stock bore 4 mil.... I can see the lack of overrev graphed out - something I feel when I'm doing my 2% of drag racing I do at Glamis (I have Fatty's/they tuck in real nice and fit great!). Nice build == thanks for sharing your info! Edited September 24, 2018 by jayzx10r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I am more surprised by Pro Circuit numbers than anything else. I figured those would have tapered off than just climb. I see what you picked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Looks fantastic, good work. Def like the xfr nerfs.Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I sold Pro Circuits for CPI and notice no difference, even less power on my old 4 mil stocker. this just reinforces what I thought about pro Circuits. Can anyone tell me again why so many people love T5s? nice bike!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops03shee Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Tricked, thanks! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, still have a couple more things I want to do to finish it off. Schweet, the SLP pipes really did perform nicely down low with some very impressive torque numbers and curve. The reason I went with the Pro Circuits is I wanted a good all around pipe, i.e. one that wasn't geared to just the high end and one that wasn't a stump puller. Another reason for the choice of the Pro Circuits was the need for spark arrectors, a requirement where I ride. Damn nice place but the DNR DOES check that stuff there. The Pro Circuit pipes are pretty much right in the middle and gave great all around numbers on the dyno. I will run these for a while and see how I like them, I'm not dead set that Pro Circuits are the ONLY pipe I will run. Compared to the pile of shit I started with, this thing is gonna be a blast to ride!!! Zillafreak, I'm not horribly shocked at the numbers the Pro Circuits made. Some of this may be from what Cam and I talked about from the get go and what I was looking for. With the port work Cameron did on the motor it was geared towards this style of pipe verse a Shearer or CPI. Canadianshee, thank you for the compliments! I like the XFR nerf bars but DAMN were they a bitch to get mounted up. The rear attachment ear that goes to the subframe on the right side was way out of whack by almost 2 inches. After some gentle massaging lol, I got them to bolt up. Thanks Gusto. Once I have more time on the thing I will probably play around a bit with pipes, jetting, and gearing to see if it likes one set-up verse another. Dyno numbers are nice but the ride could tell a different story. Thanks again everyone for the compliments! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
