RedNose... Hahaha!! Looks can be deceiving!! Im actually as far away from the desert as I can get... These are taken on PCH at Malibu County Line just about a mile and a half north of Neptunes.. Those column rocks behind my ryde, well ,if you jump over those you would fall down a cliff into this..
This last one i didnt post because I think the Jack made me , uhhh, lets just say, a little un-steady...
Thanks PANHEAD... Ive been a big fan of your paint from Day 1!!Gotta love this forum too!!! Although whats with all these freakin ads lately?!?!
LMM... Im looking forward to seeing that fairing!! I was thinking of a detachable too that would be custom and VERY Lo-Pro to go with my slammed look... I saw a bike last summer with a LoPro and WOW did it look thug!!!!
Nice bike Dude. I see you are running Python pipes over the Samson's. Any reason why? I went to their website but it looks like they only offer the 1 size. I have the Python 2 into 1 and it's the 1st header I ever had, heard or seen that I really liked. I am going to the apes and pipes this winter. I have been all over and I only live 40 or 50 miles outside of Chicago and I have yet to see 1 single SoCal style bike so I am going to give it a go.

Wow, cool pics. Never would have thought that was on the coast. I have actually ridden through there and still did not recognize it

Thanks Bro... Yeah, I went with the Pythons because they have whats called a "crushed" head which increases the backpressure.. Like you, I was really afraid of losing performance cuz as of that time, I had the Bore Kit, Andrews26, Mikuni, and not sure if i did the heads yet?? My buddies who are VERY good with a wrench and have more knowledge about the workings of a motor than I couldnt even dream of, demonstrated the differences right in front of me.. I had VancenHines BRs 2-2 which i really liked.. I wanted the duals so bad that i just took a chance and the dyno numbers came back damn near identical!!! Ive always been a big fan of VancenHines, and when I heard VnH bought Python, That made up my mind for me right then and there...

Just for everyone's information, if the crushed pipe helps with back pressure why do they not crush the front one too? Does this make any sense? Samson does not crush the rear pipe because it restricts flow and creates heat for the rear cylinder which creates an imbalance of exhaust pressure between the front and rear pipes. The back pressure can be addressed with both pipes near the end of the pipe without restricting flow. For anyone who wants to add a cam you are defeating the purpose by restricting flow at the head. Just the rear head. To me it doesn't make sense. It's just a small bit of info everyone should know.
Thanks,

Apologies , JR. I should add I never had any experience with Samson and I have nothing against the product.
I didn't create this thread to bash anybody, nor sell any products. I just listed everything I have done and used this as a way to get back on the Forum and keep in touch with my homies.

So you're coming into someones show & tell thread and telling them their exhaust is poorly engineered? Hard to explain away all that HP though isnt it? The OP never mentioned your product, he just said he was happy with what he chose and that it worked well.
Dont worry Im sure you will sell lots of exhausts this year. Everyone likes your product too. Also everything you said makes sense just a dick place to say it.
Thank you very much Micahpop!! I really do appreciate the criticism . It's the only way I'm gonna get better ... Especially from yourself whom I truly admire! Your last thread was AWESOME!!! And that video was just plain wicked!!!
Damn, I wasn't expecting all that but thanks!
If you're just getting started with the photography thing, you're off to quite an auspicious beginning!
