You guys are beautiful here. You do exactly what your upset racklefratz did. Only difference is the vast majority didn't know he mis-spelled dueling until someone else pointed it out.
Well, I happen to agree with him. Everyone can understand typos, "old english" spelling ( liquer vs liquor) stuff, but for crying out loud let's at least try to spell 50% correct. There is alot of messages on this board that give me a headache while I'm trying to decipher them................
That being said, racklefratz's rant was probably not even totally directed at the original poster, but a "last straw" after reading the rest of this, and other, boards.......
Okay,

Regardless of what you think of yourself you are not perfect trust me on that one, you might think you are God but your not,Don't say you are with him and have a hard time reading the post then
I think the post you are having a hard time reading are the ones that are written that way on purpose and they are hard sometimes, Butmost are amusing

I like the look of the chrome starter. The stock pipes interfered with the look I desired. Bike sounds great with true duals!

In total agree with White Knight 04

ORIGINAL: cirhere2

new so question why go with true duels if so many of you claim it lowers torque? just asking
If you're "just asking", maybe you ought to "ask" how to spell it.

"Duel" is when people try to cancel each other out, by whatever means. Not what you are trying to find out about, right?

Since you didn't ask, but you still need to know the difference, "duel" and "dual" are distinctly different. Important? Yes, assuming you want to actually "communicate".

Duelling? That's challenging someone to the death. "True duals" - that's separate exhausts for each cylinder.

You're welcome.

Flamers? Screw you - speaking the language correctly and being able to communicate is what separates us from the apes. Join the human species, or accept the alternative. Your choice.
No screw you A$$HOLE, you are the one that seems to think he is the self proclaimed English teacher here.... Jeeezzz the guy made a little mistake in spelling, we all knew what he meant no reason to make a stink about it.. A$$HOLE....A direct descendant of the sphincter valve... Oh and by the way dueling is spelled dueling not duelling..Now who's the ape????

Default RE: true duels

Anyone have a dyno comparison of dual versus 2 into 1 on the same bike? I bet the loss that existsis really small.

My gut isit likely depends greatly on the build of the engine. I thinka stockengine that poops poorly upfrontwould show the most noticeable difference between the two in any torque loss related to reducingbackpressure and scavage. And more modified engineswith enhancedperformance cams,heads, compression increases,would show just show yoursplitting hairs.

Mygenuine opinion is the loss or gain, betweenthe two gets made intoa much bigger deal then it deserves. I have not seen the neck breaking evidence everyone should be running a 2 into 1 in every case for the last lb of bottom end. That loss if it exists would likelybe found in a higher RPM range.
