I will second the HMF duals. I don't have the baffles in mine and it is ungodly loud. I love it. I think their 7hp claims are accurate.

 

PCDoc, what do you think of your haulers? Would you recomend 22" with 10 paddles. How does it turn/slide? I have been tryng to decide between the Haulers or the sand skates.

 

I AM RUNNING THE dmc duels and have raced all other brands in a drag race and have not been beat yet i am 6'1" and 220 and it screems.(also the price was wright 550 complete with stainless head pipes)

 

I recommend you check the DB with the dealer before you purchase it. It is my understanding that none of the V-force aftermarket pipes are within the legal limits....But then it is just a rumor that I heared and it can;t hurt to verify it before finding out the hardway

 

I would recommend that you wait until more than just a few manufactures make pipes for the V. Then when all the big names come out, you can make a better decision as to which ones make the most amount of power for the dollar. 700 dollars is alot especially if you find out that another company will come out with a better setup for less $$$ IMO..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I thought that the db claims were pretty wild, I was hoping they were accurate, I don't want to fork over that cash and not be able to get into the sand dunes. It sounds like everyone agrres that the slip on is a waste of money? I was kinda hoping to keep it quieter that way, now i want a nice set of duals, within legal limits. Also what kind of airbox/jetting mods do I have to do for peak performance?

 

HMF claims that the open pipes are about 115 db's. and the baffles bring it down to 92 db's. They are very very
loud without the baffles..... even though they are much quiter with the baffles.... I would be supprised it they are
really down to 92 db.

The neighbors called the cops on my .....again ......last night. I have about 10 acres here, even riding in the
middle of it, can be very loud for those that do not appriecate a good sound'n engine !!

I do agree that the 7 hp claim seems accurate ..... very noticable difference

 

I really like them. A big improvement over the Holeshots on the sand I ride on. They don't provide much for quick cornering however. LOL They are more of a slow turn/straight line type of tire. They do provide great traction and that is what I was after. It will make you work that throttle a little more wisely or it will 12 o'clock on you.

 

pcdoc i see you have a epi clutch kit on you V how do you like it
what gains have you gotten from it i love my V but dont like the way it reacts after
you let of the gas starts to coast but soon as you get in the gas again (lightly)
she gears down hard , feel like i going over the bars but love the launch i get with
the lower ratio what do ya think thanks

 

I like the kit as a whole. I don't really like the red primary spring though. It really hits hard from a stop... Almost too hard in my opinion. I actually went back to the stock spring for the primary for now. I have heard of others going with a brown primary so I might try it out. I think the kit is a good investment all in all. I would buy it again.
