| Frequently
Asked Questions |
| |
| 1.
Do you carry any other pipes for the
V-Star? |
| Nope!
Due to the 75 degree angle of the engine
on the V-Star, the "downswept" look
will not perform properly because the
rear exhaust would end up being about
half as long as the front exhaust. This
leads to an imbalance, one pipe runs
either too rich or too lean for the
other. After trying about 20 different
designs, the "Up-Towners" were the winners. |

| 2.
I am interested in the 5 and 7 degree raked trees, but I'm concerned about the "trail". Can you tell me what the trail would be on a stock bike? |
| The trail is correct on all of our forks. It's figured in on the CAD/CAM machine that designs them. |
| |
| 3.
I'm considering 3" longer fork tubes in order to maintain stock ride height. I have been told that to correct trail, that the triple clamp offset is usually changed. Can you tell me the offset on your clamps? |
| We send you slugs to extend your tubes, longer tubes are not needed, and you won't even lose your fork oil. The stock height of the bike is maintained. |
| |
| 4.
Can you build trees over 7 degrees? |
| Sorry but that would be no! |
| |
| 5.
Do your pipes have baffles? |
| No, but they can be easily installed if you need them. We can include them with your order if necessary. |
| |
| 6.
How loud are your pipes? |
| They sound similar to Vance & Hines straight drags...people will hear ya coming, but you won't kill old people while riding past retirement homes either. And no, we don't have a sound card so you can hear them...those are for dweebs anyway. |
| |
| 7.
Will your pipes turn blue? |
| Not if the carbs are properly adjusted with a JET KIT, by a professional mechanic.(Note: If your pipes turn blue, refer to question #7) |
| |
| 8.
My bike is fuel injected. How do I adjust this to suit your exhausts? |
| It can be done with one of the three following products: A Cobra FI module, Rev-Tech DFO or Power Commander. The Cobra & Rev-Tech DFO are the most affordable(about $200) and easiest to set up. However the DFO requires some wiring knowledge, while the Cobra is a direct plug in. All products are available thru us or any local dealer. |

| 9.
Do you stock heat sheilds for your pipes? |
| Yes! ($89.95)Contact the shop directly for details on the shields that you're interested in |
| |
| 10.
How do I apply for a dealership for your products?? |
| Contact the shop DIRECTLY for information.(704)788-8010 Monday-Friday 9:00am-6:pm & Saturday 9:00am-2:00pm Eastern Standard Time |
| |
| 11.
How long does it take to receive my order, and how is billing handled? |
| We normally try to maintain trees in stock. We use FedEx so generally they take only a few days to ship.(Over-seas orders may take a little longer due to all of the hoops that have to be jumped through to get them to other countries). Your order will be billed separately the date that it is shipped.(Ballpark, about $20-$40) |
