HPE Install
 

Shredder,

Your bike looks great!!! I was wondering do you have to remove the headers to get to the oil filter?

Is that the little house that you sleep in now that the wife has booted you out for all the time and $$'s spent on the R12SS.:D

Not to worry. This bike spends too much time in the mod-shop to ever warrant an oil change.:rolleyes:

The Barbie Jeep is being neglected...

I will have to remove the left header to get to the filter, which is no big deal, its taking the pan off that is the beeetch!

this coming from a retired guy who parks his HP2S 3 hours away :rolleyes:

no it's not, I had it out the other day! :D

...as in : way different...??

it sounds a little snottier to me. maybe that is just my post purchase justification though! :D

I think this combo of pipe and pan is just what the R12S needed to make it look "sport"

Having ridden with shreddr several times, and my Akra having a nice mellow tone without baffles, shred's bike is loud-good loud sounding raunchy good, but......loud!! Way louder than the Akra. Like a sport bike should sound...........SmileWavy

Seems it's the first bike up for sale in the new forum...

Good deal for someone?

we will probably be getting a new boat forum soon :rolleyes:

HP2S's are opposed to running straight roads.:D You guys have got to quit thinking of this bike like you do you 11/12S's. I don't waste rubber on straight roads.

...my pan comes with these kind of (link) Dzus fasteners for the front... ;)

RoLoo, are the Dzuzu'z welded in place? I dont have the room to slip one of those things in place, unless it has a real deep channel. The one you show doesn't.

I got to ride with the full HPE today, and it feels strong, just like it did with the Remus/HPE combo. It does seem to be a bit louder, and I don't want to draw any unwanted attention. If I rode with a bunch of other bikers with it this loud I might be called a FAG, which should be reserved for HD riders only. :D

I may try the DB killers, but they are HP killers as well. I will bring them with me to the dyno run and quantify the effect.

...I will let you know what it looks like when I have the goodies...

i forgot to show the pic of the super cool stingers that came with the HPE exhaust. It gives the bike that awesome retro euro 2 stroke look! :p

Wow, I haven't seen such cool exhaust since I watched Flash Gordon when I was a kid:

I wonder if you can reach the planet Ming with those?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/161.gif

shreddr, please tell me you're pulling KGB, I mean cageyar's right leg.

I hope those "stingers" are inside out, and should otherwise be completely internal, with the tubes pointing into the silencer, and toward the front of the bike. :D

I really like the looks and the internet audio clips of the HPE setup. Those things are straight weird. :D

BTW, DZUS type fasteners make a lot of sense for a belly-pan setup, especially if one has to remove it frequently for service.

This quick google result seems to have lots of stuff... d-handle or allen head quarter turn fasteners, captive washers to keep the fasteners retained to the panel, clip-on or rivet on receivers, aluminum, stainless, titanium... all sorts. No experience with them, as I said, just a quick google result, but seeing them shows how they work. :D
