racer Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 (edited) I'm pretty damn happy with my Shearers for $200 less. i am glad you said that, i getting ready to order some! Edited October 18, 2004 by therail Quote
kenr74 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I'm not saying anything is wrong with the Rockets but for not being able to produce a dyno chart they sure are a lot of money. I emailed White Knuckle Racing and was told that the Rockets are comparable to CPI's but they recommend the CPI due to availability. The Shearers show a slight, and I mean SLIGHT, increase over the CPI on a dyno chart I saw. I think if somebody put the three pipes on a bike and tuned them all perfectly there would not be much of a difference. I just like the Shearers because they aren't all that well known yet and you can pick them up cheap. Quote
bkabina Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 The Shearer's are well know,by many top builders.They are kept secret.The Shearer's power make the CPI's look like low end pipes.We have used both.But I like my suicide pipes. Quote
InFlames Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Get some Inframe shearer pipes from Passionracingengines.com you wont be sorry. Quote
Big Blue Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 im running shearers as well no complaints. Quote
kenr74 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 im running shearers as well no complaints. Dammit!!! Here I thought I was special with my shiny new Shearers. I haven't ridden with anybody yet that has them. Most people haven't even heard of them. All I know is that when I went from my Fatty's to these I almost shit myself when they hit the powerband.

Big Blue Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 the do have a good hit, this is the second set ive had. Quote
01bansheeke Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I've heard great things about shearers. They will be going on the project shee i just bought this winter. Quote
InFlames Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 To me they really broaden out the power band alot...and yes that "hit" is like no other.. you better know where your going when that shit breaks loose. Quote
Ducman Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I liked the rockets on my stock port motor. Unbeleavable top end difference over FMF's and only slight loss on the bottom end. On my 4mm stroker I've still got a way to rich needle and slightly rich main with TM 34mm carbs to get a good feel for the mid range. It doesn't really bog now that I droped the needle (that came stock on the carbs made for something like a RM 250) to the leanest setting but not as peppy as it should be kinda causing a somewhat more light switchy power delivery. It also could be somewhat due to porting also, I've only had her running for a little over 2 weeks now so I've only have time to due minimal tuning after break in. The mid/bottom end was good when stock and I think it will be better with some more tuning, but it frigging rips on the top end. There were no piped YFZ 450s that could hang with me on the top end up thunder hill at Sand Mountain this weekend and only a couple of ported banshee's and I was running really friggin rich due to going up 3500 ft in elevation from sea level with no jetting change and running rich to begin with. I'd say that I'm pretty satisfied. I like CPI's silencers fit and finish better though. Quote
