Dave Rash of D&D Builds A 185HP Harley for 2007 Bonneville

http://www.danddexhaust.com - If you cut us, we bleed salt - said Dave Rash, The Pope of Pipe. Rash talks about the D&D - Custom Chrome motorbike, #1160, a modified V-Bike from Custom Chrome with a RevTech motor slightly modified by the D&D team to produce 116 CID or 1905 cc.

The LSR pipe was specifically designed and dyno tested for the run at Bonneville. The 2 into 1 exhaust system made over 15HP with the engine making in excess of 185HP.

The Pope and the entire Team at D&D Performance Enterprises came back from the Salt Flats without the world record. The weather reduced the number of runs the boys had and they were not able to put one in the book.

that's great!

but...

vrsc (h-d porsche) models get to 235 hp...

also they re one of the greatest drag bikes ever!

The VRSC is a great engine. Our bike was a punched up CCI engine. It became a test bed for our Harley exhaust systems.

i want the 7:44 seconds of my life back

[digitalbiker]

I grant you 7 minutes back.

too bad there's no video of the bike doing what it was designed to do. too much talk!

[digitalbiker]

Bonneville was such a challenge. The team waited in line and because of the rain, delays and rough salt they were not able to make the record runs.

@simonfb10 It keeps you from burning your leg, but also some exhaust pipes are not chrome, and the wrap actually makes them look better.

@bmptxhd also porsche did not build or have anything with the engineering they only helped develop it

I saw this guy & bike at the texas mile in March this year- the day i was there he DNF'ed and EVERYONE wanted to see that thing fly

@simonfb10 heat scavenging

[coolguy112286]

@simonfb10 so you dont burn your legs. its heat wrap

[simonfb10]

Can anyone tell me why you would put cloth round the downpipes?

Thanks

Im no expert but if made custom pipes.I would think I would have a computerized pipe bender of some kind.thats alot of junk to hang on that scoot. I know cosmetics arent that important?

I know your comment is kind of old, but a 2 into 1 exhaust will USUALLY yield more power for mostly stock bikes. With straight pipes, it depends on length, straight pipes usually yield more power with high compression and most drag bikes, that are needing to flow very high amounts of exhaust gasses, and don't need to rely on small amounts of backpressure for torque.2-1 pipes have always looked silly to me though, and in my opinion, straight pipes sound better also.

[trueeasyrider]

ok, in that case. stright pipes is the way to go then. thanks for the reply.

[latanea]

depends on what kind of power you are concerned with -

a 2:1 = better torque on a given motor - and a 2:2 straight pipe (might) offer better hp above the torque curve depending on design.
