Well as a lot of you know Woodrow Wilson and I had some custom pipes built at Dynoport this past weekend. We have custom leager frames and wanted to take advantage of the extra space we have in front of our motors. Rich at dynoport was convinced he could give us more hp and a lot more overrev because of added space. Here is how it went....
We spoke with Rich a few times before making the trip. Just so happened that when we needed the pipes he was swamped with custom snow mobile pipes, it was his busiest time of the year. Let's just say that he wasn't the nicest guy to talk to. This could be because he was overwhelmed working long days or he thought we were wasting his time.
We left at 2am Friday morning and arrived at 8:30am. When we got there he was completely different in person. Maybe this was because workload had returned to somewhat normal or he knew we weren't wasting his time. Very friendly and businesslike guy. Got the bike inside and talked a little bit about what we wanted out of the pipe. Rob is the guy that actually makes the pipes. Rob and Rich threw around some calculations and we started to work on the design. It was very apparent that Rob had been making pipes for a very long time. When asked he said over 20 years. He was amazing. He would literally make a sharpie dot on a piece and cut it on an angle with a bandsaw. Not once did he make a mistake when making 2 custom pipes. Even when he tacked them together the gaps were perfect. It was amazing to watch.
Took about 3 hours to do the first pipe once we came up with design. The second one was a lot faster. I dont have it dialed in yet, but it's getting close. I also bumped my compression up and am now running race fuel. This pipe never stops pulling. I have had a lot of different pipes on this bike and I can honestly say that this pipe is BY FAR (not even close) the best pipe I have ever had. Here are some pics. I will get some better ones after I get it dialed in and cleaned up. Overall it was a great experience and I recommend them.
