New to the site and fairly new to Colorado. I just got a set of custom HMF duals made by my friend and installed a HC2. But since the exhaust is like no other I need a good facility that will dial it in for me. I installed a map that was for barkers, pro design, hc2 but it seemed lean and the plug was pretty white. i now have one that is a little rich but seems to run ok for now. I live in greeley, co and curious if there is any places close that can tune it in and how much it will cost. any input will be greatly appreciated.
How about some pictures of those duals :rofl:
you give this guy a call. he is a supponsor here. http://www.raptorsource.com/forum/index.php?board=62.0 the phone number is: (719) 271-6687 and he is in CO.
i would also like to see a pic of these duals.

+1 I have spent alot of time obsessing about making my own HMF duals.
Pictures!!!!!!!!!
I'll gets some pics up tonight, they are not quite finished. I don't have the badge riveted on the left can yet because i'm not sure if i want to paint them or not. Sunday was the first time out since they were fabed. I have some clearance issues at the rear shock rezzie and it taps the starter housing going through the woops slightly. Just needs a little reinforcing. thanks for the info, i'll have to gim them a call.
where you at in CO?
rodger...Fail.....need more coffee!!! :clap:
My favorite local dyno guy is Aaron at Mobile Garage but he got hurt in a motorcycle race. I understand the boys at Epic Motorsports are still running his dyno, they are located in Longmont. My buddy Adam has a brand new dyno at MotoAdventure in Loveland. You can also go to Cheyenne Yamaha, they have a nice dyno there as well. Those will be the closest to you in Greeley, then Advantage Tuning. Are you Paul's buddy?
what color are theses duals, and which Series of Cans?
Welcome to the site!!!!
I'm excited to see these duals. I've contacted HMF several times to create a set of duals, they say their's no market for them.... :mad:

Which is "bullshit-ese" for We are lazy and cheap. :lol:
Sorry for the delay guys, just got off work. took some pics, the quad is dirty. didn't have time to wash it. to answer troywwc, yes i'm friends with paul. I've heard alot about your raptor, i'll have to check it out some time. I heard that moto just got a dyno, but didn't know how educated they were since it is new. my boss was thinking about getting his ZX-14 dynoed there since thats where he bought it. thanks for all the input, let me know what you guys think about the pipes. I think they turned out well. if anybody has duals with a prodesign K&N, hc2, and pc3. i'm trying different maps to get one pretty close until i can get enough money for the dyno.

did you just buy the cans...and pull the rivets, and reverse the cans? Looks good. I was wanting to do this with candy blue cans.
That looks pretty good dude. Yeah Moto has the newest dyno around and if you want I can get you hooked up with a killer deal, even better if we can get a couple guys or more. I would tell your boss to take the zx14 in too, it's a blast dynoing big bikes like that at around 200mph in that little room, kinda scary lol.

I had actually been running the single since 2006. Just bought another slip-on and moved the bracket to the other side and he cut the pipe and reposition it the other direction. we didn't think if the rivets removed it would just turn inside the can. it might though, if not i don't know about doing to a color can.

I will tell my boss about that, he has 2 zx14, ones his wifes. they both have pipes but i guess with those you have to compensate for the ram air at 180mph. if you could hook us up that would be awesome. let me know what you can do. i'm sure paul would like to as well. it has always been a competition between us, but he is one up on be with that piston. its goin to take rider to beat him now.
Yeah tell him to bring them both and if you can get Paul in on it we'll get er done. Let me know what you guys are thinking on a timeframe and we'll set it up. I think he has a slight advantage on you with the piston but it won't be too crazy. I'm very curious to see results on your exhaust setup on the dyno.
paul is not running haulers and doesn't have a 15th. oh yeah, i'm almost 40 pounds lighter. he wants to go to the dunes this weekend, then we'll see who's faster. let me talk to my boss and paul see what works for them.
Damn that's alot for him to try and compensate for with just a piston, lol. Let me know who comes out on top if you guys run up to Walden this weekend.
what pipes are you running? i worry a little that the pipes are too big and i don't have enough engine mods to compensate for that kind of flow. isn't the dmc 4 pipes for heavy modded engines? i thought i saw on there site they were engines with internal mods only. the map that is in mine is for barker duals, +2 tb, modded air box, ported and polished head, hc2. i don't have the tb or the head work and it was the only one that would give any color to the plug after about a 30 minute ride. do think those pipes flow that much? ???
Don't worry about your pipes being too much, these Raptors move alot of air, even with a stock head and cam. Your duals aren't going to cost you any power and they will support future mods as you keep building. I run Barkers on my bike.
the wife puts a hinder on future mods, this is the first thing i have done since 2006. she doesn't know about the HC2 ;). in your opinion, you think the silencers would look good galaxy black (the color of my hood) with the pop rivets taken out and polished and leave the tip brushed? my friend that james replaced at ozzies would paint it. just a thought.
that would look pretty sweet, I painted the pipes on mine black and left the cans and heatshields brushed aluminum. I like the black on any part of it though.
you'll have to post a pic of your raptor. i'd like to see what that looks like.
