Re: Now these are some fat pipes
Richard , you sent me a diagram for a chamber set where the body was like 6" across , this looks about that

Re: Now these are some fat pipes
The solution is obvious. Build a sidecar for the street.
That one looks familiar and is the old BCE racing chair for Australia. Interesting that someone stuck their WWW. URL across a picture that they probably grabbed off the web.
Sleds and sidecars can use 6" belly sections. I have a set of drag race pipes here that must be close to that large and they fit around the sides of the motor - no space underneath.
I think that the billet head from that bike is now a couple of states west in SA on a LSR bike. Big pipes work well with large reed areas so they can send a strong suction wave all the way back to the carbs to pull more mixture in. On a piston ported motor they can be useful, but you can get pretty frightening power from much smaller pipes than those.
You can get 100 HP out a a set of modified Bassani or J&R or JEMCo pipes with the right porting set up. How fast do you want to go?

Re: Now these are some fat pipes
That's 140 in a 1/4 mile. It would probably go faster on the street and with a fairing.
His pipes must be a similar size to the set on the Breeze/Collins sidecar. Get a set of drag race sidewinders that are 5.5 -6" diameter. They would look insane on your bike.
