road racer Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 Just picked up a set. How do they compare to other pipes like fatties or t5's . Where should they be adjusted to for best performance? I have had fatties , t5's and some PT mids (have not tried yet) just wondering what to expect. thanks Quote
road racer Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Posted June 12, 2005 Does anyone use these or did I just buy some more shiny crap for the corner of the garage ? Quote
Ducman Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 A bulder that is local to me uses the LRD pipes. He's making 70+ HP on a 350 motor and has amasing power all the way from low end all the way to the top. They are a good all around pipe. I would say they would run about like a Toomey TR6 on a stock motor except they work well with porting also. Quote
road racer Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks Ducman. They will be going on a 4mm stroker with port work. I also have a set of PT mids to try on it. Should be interesting to see which performs better when I get it back together. Quote

The builder I mentioned that is local to me (Looney Tooners) runs LRD and his banshee is insanely bad ass. He had a 4mm stroker and now is back to a 350. Both motors were 70+ Hp SAE and from what I can tell their dyno is pretty stingy on handing out big numbers. I'd be willing to be his bike might hit 80+Hp on other dyno's that are callibrated to read actual HP in stead of SAE HP. Anyway, I know they will support a pretty hot built motor. He's also running 38mm Kehins and his throttle response is friggin unbelievable. He said the power is very useable power down low all the way to top which is evident on the dyno sheet he's shown me of his 4mm motor a wile back. If I were able to try out any set of pipes right now on my shee just for shits and giggles, I would like to try a set of CPI's and LRD's. In fact I want to get a set of cylinders ported by this guy for my 4mm set up and try them out, but I dont know his porting willl work as well with Rockets. The only thing I'm not sure about on the LRD's is if they have or if you can even attach a spark arrestor due to the long turned down tips on the silencer and I sometimes ride in areas that require them.

hittintrees srh Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Dude, how are they adjustable? Ive never heard of that set. An adjustable pipe set souds dupe to me! Quote
