Enzo Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Picked up my 'cobras' today. Ceramic coated at Performance Coatings South of Seattle. I did have black, but changed to silver. For those who don't know, this is my own designed two-into-one system that fits on V11 Sport and Lemans. The Dyno put my RWHP at 87 with this single mod. Also, the torque curve is so straight, it is not even a curve. 63 pounds all across. If I can find seven guys who want a set, I'll sell them for $700 bucks.

I'm guessing you like their work if you took them back to Performance Coatings. cheers, Jason [edited to remove image...sorry bout that] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pipe is so cool I've half a mind to find a LeMans to put 'em on. Of course, using half a mind gets me in trouble occasionally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MotoMessiah Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Took a look at your bike, Enzo, and one thing comes to mind - It's the UGLIEST bike I have ever seen in my life. It makes the VW powered Brazilian Amazonas look attractive and sexy. Sorry, Enzo, but you've destroyed a classic machine with garish coloring that looks like it was a paint by numbers scheme by a blind man. And the low mount license plate - wtf? Chopper-guzzi? I can seriously appreciate anyone's attempt to personalize their machine but gee whiz I need pepto bismol now. I feel nauseous... All in jest of course..

In addition to the power, it has to be the lightest exhaust available! Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 JRT, They don't change color AT ALL. They are coated in and out with ceramic, and then a clear coat is applied to the outside. They look very sharp. Matt finish with a sort of slight sheen to them. YOU BROTHAS SHOULD HERE THE SOUND! One of these days soon I'm going to put together a sound file for ya.

Skeeve Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 ... YOU BROTHAS SHOULD HERE THE SOUND! One of these days soon I'm going to put together a sound file for ya. 41508[/snapback] Heh. NO THANKS! W/ that tiny muffler volume, that puppy's gonna be LOUD. I've been deaf, and value my hearing too much to risk it on something so peurile as a pipe that's loud for loudness' sake. But the audio file will be nice to listen to, since that I have the control of the volume "knob..." Remember, "loud pipes shave hives" but that's about *all* they do. They also piss off non-motorcyclists no end, since what's music to our ears is nothing but rudeness to them. A hi-flow muffler goes a long way to preserving our riding rights... O.K., lecture over. You may resume showing off your cool exhaust system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robbrugg Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Enzo - I tip my hat to you once again - you have guts to make those changes, and post them here knowing that the PINHEADS will give their .02 (that's what it's worth). Most are too afraid to modify a bike. One question - what's up with the welds? Why not make them cleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Wow, you're about the fourth person to make fun of the unfinished welds. Now I'm starting to think about it myself. I wish I'd thought of it before I coated them! In a way, my feeling is that it makes the pipes look 'one-off.' One of a kind and homemade, which they are. It's sort of funky retro to me - as is the color. I really LOVE these pipes. The sound is quite unique, but it's not just noise, these pipes PUT OUT as anyone knows who has seen the dyno. I can't even open the throttle in second gear on a damp street because I'll high side! But, NEXT time I coat them, I'll smooth it out for the Guzzisti!

stormsedge Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Enzo, they look cool to me...but I just put on a Stucchi X, so will have to pass (no point in infuriating the keeper of the checkbook). k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
