Bansh-eman Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 yes they are 100% differant pipes, one is a low to mid range pipe, the other is top end . The Shearers are made for drag racing. depending on what kind of riding you do should have determined the type of carbs porting and pipes you needed to get.

nwa rider Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I ride dunes mostly. Some play dragging but mostly all around duning. That is what kind of port work i had done. It runs good now but im thinking about switching pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 who ported your motor? For a dune port (understanding that not all dune ports are the same) you could get away with some T-5 and keep more of that bottom and mid range but your going to loose top. This is from Shearers not from what your currently running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedd1 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I got my Shearers today-very disappointed! I am sending them back. I called who I bought them from and he is willing to do a refund. There are bare metal spots around the welds. I got to looking real close at the one I took out of the box and not only found bare metal, there are also a couple of spots in a weld that will surprise me if they don't leak. My 10 yr old fattys are in better shape! :ohmy: These pipes have got to perform, I don't know how else this guy could stay in business. :sad: I called Cascade and discussed their supposedly "custom finish" Shearers. Can anyone here recommend them? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 They definately perform!! I've got some IFs and OOFs and love them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yea some people need to look at quality control instead of solely performance all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiking Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 is there a big diffrence of performance between in frame shears and oof's on a drag bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Seems Shearer has been getting lazy in his building quality...possibly even not doing the work himself. I don't know. He lost a big retailer of his in the last few months...damn shame for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 if the dude would do a little QQ his product would own the market, but when you spend 600-700 bucks on some pipes, you shouldnt have to get them rechromed, or have to shim the pipes to not hit the head, they should come 100% ready to bolt up. Truley would suck to see his pipes fade off but thats exactly whats going to happen if he doesnt step it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiking Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 :sad: .. jeff said he likes shears for his portin... but im not spending $600 on some pipes that arent worth a shit.... i thought about ordering a set bare.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I know it's been hush, hush...wait and wait...but when the new breed of pipes come out (Not Shearers) they'll be selling like hot cakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxMeltIcexX Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Ya I've has enough of the oil leaking all over my polished shit as well as the chrome peeling off as well as having to shim the shit out of my left pipe! I just wanna fuckin cut off the head pipe and weld on something else ive tried everything to stop it from leaking! They perform and sound sick as hell but I need quality too, which it doesnt have.
