Craig B Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Has anyone purchased SB inframe pipes for Shearer lately? I read some fitment issues with their pipes and wanted to see if they have been cured. I'm looking at SB inframes [no air box]. Thanks. Quote
sleeper06 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 They always take a lil finagling , spacer on the hangers and they're good to go .. It's common place Quote
trickedcarbine Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Find old used ones from pre 2005ish. Or buy them raw and have your own chrome done and with a little shimming they fit. DO NOT PAY FOR HIS CHROME. On another note: Rocket, CPI, Sniper, hand coned LED's FTW! 1 Quote
pp13bnos Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 I've even had fitment issues with in frame CPIs. I had a set that fit perfect, traded them to a buddy for a set of CPIs that where mint. The Second set hit the cool head pretty good. Put spacers on, and it nearly solved the problem, but it would still barely touch. Quote

Snipers look nice, buy come raw steel. Arlen wanted 1500 for a pair of hand coned pipes. Dammmm , a little more then I was looking to spend. Quote
Big Mike NY Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 I thought "true" Shearer pipes were nickel plated not chrome plated- am I wrong? Quote
dirtydownunder Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 chrome sucks, is hit and miss, more miss than hit. set i had, needed to be replaced, but the second set was good. needed some spacers on the hangers. was all good tho. cpi or sniper would be a good pick, depending on your setup. shearers if you can get for a good price and only really plan on mostly riding wot, fast tracks and stuff.

locogato11283 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Snipers raw and have them chromed. Quote
RagunCajun Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 My SFBB shearers were sent strait to CPI for chrome. That was i was told to do. Came out good. Quote
Big Mike NY Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Sleeper06 installed my Shearers and he made them fit primo! And as for the chrome or what ever fucking plating is on them they are pristine! I bought them used from Possum.. Quote

possum Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Actually those I sold werent rechromed. Straight from shearer. Quote
Big Mike NY Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Maybe my set was an exception? They look awesome! Dunno!??! Quote
