Richard , you sent me a diagram for a chamber set where the body was like 6" across , this looks about that :shock: it would be challenge to get all this under a street bike :shock: http://www.suzukidave.com/index.php?cmd ... lmNTFmOTU4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The solution is obvious. Build a sidecar for the street. :wink: :shock:

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?

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.
