baddsheee Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I will be going from T5's to Shearers. What would you guys reccommend on the mains? I am running 320-330 mains depends on weather, 32.5 pilots. Mods are in sig. I am running stock carbs, I know I need bigger carbs but one step at a time. When funds permit. I know people have problems installing Shearers, what other hardware is added to install them properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassbanshee479 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I was running 350 mains and 27.5 pilots on my play bike when I put my shearers on it. I did not have to buy anything else special to put them on other than the shearer pipe orings suck and leak real bad. jeff at FAST sells a better set. other than that you should be good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshee Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 You may have to make a shim to make them fit. Here is how mine is shimmed in the front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shipped yesterday. He did my dune porting. I'm hoping the chrome looks good. So what do you guys think about jets? What size on the mains. Should I leave them or am I going to have to go up on them. If so, how many sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Jim's port job must like a HUGE pilot, cause any other bike ported on Toomey pipes a 27.5 would be fine. I would ask Jim what he suggests...but...I think you're making a bad choice with stock carbs and Shearer Pipes.... The dune port will pull them, you're getting a top end orientated pipe but choking that motor down with stock carbs. I think 33PWK or 35PWK carbs are in your near future. Yes, yes...I know it will run on stockers, but...just like T5 pipes and stock carbs on a cub, you're chocking the motor out. (This is from 100% experience, by the way, not heresay...)

I was thinking 33's, but if I can run 35's that's what I might lean towards next. Then I also need a longer swinger, then the compression needs to go higher, then a bigger crank, then the cub. :: It never ends. Oh well!

I went from stock motor w/ bolt ons to a 4 mil cub, now I'm going 10 mil on alky drag bike. I HOPE I'm done for a while....but something tells me I'll be building a 16 or 20 mil Cheetah next year....LOL. Ask Jim if he feels 33s or 35s will better suited for his porting and Shearer pipes. I'd say 35s...but...his call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaRider02 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Jim shipped my Shearer's yesterday also. I've got his aggressive dune port, haven't got to ride it yet. I'm also switching from T-5's to Shearer's. I plan on running 33PWK's. The 35's would make more peak HP, but you would lose some throttle response/rideability. The 35's, IMO, could be sluggish and make the bike seem to "load up" riding the trails. The 33's are a good compromise of response/top end pull. I'm also going from a -2" swinger to a +2" and some padla brats. Should be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
