sprinklerman Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 Don't you find it annoying for the pipes to lay out to the sides like that? I noticed that if you take some more time you can end up with results like Wacko2000 did in his conversion here> http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=170461&page=1 Not knocking your project, I'm just wondering why you have your pipes splayed out VS tucking the pipes in tight like Wacko2000 did?

sleeper06 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I did a lot of frame mods to wackos bike to get them like basically started over in the front,I wasn't rushed and time wasn't issue .people think it's 123 ,it wasn't an accident it came out that way lol Quote
dozer Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 the pipes being out like that doesn't bother you while riding, I imagine wackos bike has a custom radiator and other things moved to make room. I helped on rushed together one and its no where near as easy as some think. Quote
sprinklerman Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 So not to oversimplify, but the reason the pipes stick out like that is because of not modifying the frame and possibly using a narrower radiator? Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk Quote
Hazzard Racing Customs Posted October 26, 2013 Report Posted October 26, 2013 i like it both ways the layed out style is kinda cool to lets people know its a banshee when its not running lol!!! Quote
thomas h. Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Posted November 10, 2013 Pipes are Not a issue for me and I'm not burning my boots any more. Wacko told me how he was going to do his and he and sleeper did the best conversion to date. Money for more frame mods and custom radiator was not in the budget. If next weeks trip goes perfect then I'm finally done moding mine. Quote

Well I'll keep this in mind next time I buy a camaro And wacko parks next to me in his corvette. Quote

thomas h. Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Posted November 10, 2013 I dont get it? Just asking a simple question. No the pipes are not in the way nor do they burn my leg or boot. Customs shearer pipes are cheaper than the wacko way. Camaros are cheaper too. Quote

Camaros are cheaper too. Gotcha. So you paid Shearer to custom make them splayed out like that? It would seem that the cost of getting custom pipes built would be somewhat similar whether they are tucked in or splayed out? Been kicking around the costs of doing this conversion as a nice 450r frame is available close to me. Just wanted to see the cost difference in the two different pipe lay outs. Id prefer to have them tucked as it appears more factory looking. Quote
camatv Posted November 10, 2013 Report Posted November 10, 2013 do the tucked look. to me it looks a lot better.. maybe someday i will finish mine. just totally lost interest in it for some reason and i'd say its 98% ready for a motor to go in Quote
thomas h. Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Posted November 10, 2013 To do it all over the radiator is the key to this whole conversion. Quote
thomas h. Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Posted November 17, 2013 good news the converison project is done! and only two seasons late. glamis was 92* and it was running hard up any dune. bad news im going to sell it for a sand car project. other news i killed my back up stock motor. so im going the port it and put it in converison quad. but soon everything is for sale or trade. looking for a complete ls1/ls2 and fox shocks and coilovers and mid board tatum hubs and 2.5 power rack and pinion also 17' razor masters and 1 3/4 cromo tubes 16'.
