He is considering Shearers which are drag pipes. And no, you will get more power with the Snipers or Shearers than the T-5's. That's a fact. I know that the Snipers are expensive, but I think they are going to be worth every penny based on the information given by Jim and Gary.

I believe he's the idiot in the back..

What is your current jetting or what did you run in the summer?

I would seriously consider looking into the new Sniper pipes, produced by Sniper Racing Products.

Coming from a guy who got beat up in a woods race? Never mind him. He's still butthurt about everyone clowning on him.

Can't you just weld the balls back in there?

In other news, JDS and Brock for TUF coaches...

This is a steal guys. If you haven't seen these grilles in person, the quality and finish of them is second to none. I have had mine for several years now and not had to do anything to it. It still looks brand new. They are durable too because my bike rolls several times a year and my JDS grille is holding up well!

You are not immune to the insanity!

Hahaha I know, I am constantly on JD about the quality of his stuff!! Thanks homie!

It's a forged 18mm small pin crank. The pin is what broke. Cameron said they were going to a big pin setup on it. As far as failure.. who knows? I didn't have much time on the motor. With only 10 races a year and two passes per race, there is no reason it should have snapped. As far as I know, I'm paying for parts on it. I need to call Cam tonight and get an update. Both of my Crankworks forged 10mm cranks lasted two years in my 10mm cub. To me, that's pretty good. The first time the crank separated and the second time the pin came out and let it go out of phase. As far as aftermarket performance not being Wal-Mart, I agree. I believe it should be above and beyond considering what we do with these motors. That's why I stress that these parts should be perfect from the manufacturer. Letting them get by with lower quality products is why shit breaks and then it's "OUR" fault. We should be holding them to a high standard.

What changes? The tolerances should be the same regardless of engine HP, stroke, bore etc. Just because you're making more or less power doesn't give the crank builders a pass on quality. No, I don't. That is what my builder is for. I pay my builder do the initial set up on my motors. Cameron has built my last two and my brothers last two motors. He has always pre-assembled them before I had them. Again, that's why I pay a builder to build my shit, because I am not one. So you think that if you order a cold air intake for a vehicle and spend $300+ on it, that if it doesn't fit it's OK because it wasn't stock? Fuck that. If anything, it should fit better because it is considered an UPGRADE, just like the aftermarket cranks should be. Apples to oranges. Those guys building those motors put them together all the time and of course they check them. Should the driver or owner of the car have to double check the motor builders work? I think not. That doesn't even make any sense. Otherwise, the owners and drivers of the cars would assemble the motors themselves. Maybe stock cases weren't but billet ones were. Explain my junk ass broken 18mm Crankworks crank? My 18mm DM was assembled completely when I got it by Cameron. Should I have to pull it apart and double check it?

I didn't check shit. I shouldn't have to pay $700 for a crank that isn't ready to run. It fucked up and I sent it back. They "fixed" it and we ran it again. Then it blew up. I am not an engine builder. I don't build motors, port them or know anything other than how to run the fuck out of them. If Vito's or any other crank manufacturer is sending out cranks that are not up to spec, that should be on them. I do not have the tools or know-how to check cranks that should be perfect from the manufacturer. Any argument against that is garbage and wouldn't be accepted in any other line of purchasing.

Can't really happen unless all the builders agree on one dyno to test the motors. That's a big undertaking and will require a lot of time. Do you guys wanna wait longer for your motors? Haha.

We had two Vito's cranks in a row fail. Fucking junk and I'll never buy another thing from them again.

This thread turned kinda funny.

No faith here! Yea, I have been following the whole HW situation a little. Sounds like a mess.

I always studded dirt tires. They always hooked up the hardest.

There have been studies lately that suggest running more oil does not create a power loss. I have always run mine at about 40:1 and never had an issue unless you count crank failures.

Both parts can be had for around $50 from most of the site sponsors. Block off plate will clean up the rear of your bike and the timing plate will allow you to advance your timing.

The Serval is above and beyond any stock cylinder setup. I'd go with a Serval.

I fire my Glock sideways.. Like a gangster..

Sick bike bro! All top notch parts on this bike. Good luck with the sale!

That car/truck looking thing is ugly as fuck!

Holy shit. How did you know where everything went? Did you have all the parts in boxes or what?
