Post subject: Jim's beautiful S3 Denco's !!!!!!!!

How beautiful are these ?????? I know that some of you already have Jims pipes,but this is my first set and all I can say " These chambers are a beautiful piece of work".......Look at the way there were packed !!!!!! The welds are great and the pipes look just like Denco's if not better(I think even Dennis Dean would sh$t a brick if he saw these pipes) !!!!! I just got home and the pipes were waiting for me just like Jim said they would be !!!! They were packed better than any chambers I have bought,and I have bought a lot of sets of chambers. I am going to try and get them fitted but I may have to wait until after my next trip !!!!! We had a blasting of snow and ice here in Texas so the twins are out of school and we are having a blast out in the snow(although I'm still ready for our Texas Summer) !!!!!!! Big thumbs up to Jim and his work with these chambers !!!!!!!!!! Always nice to see the results of a true Professional !!!!!!!!

Thanks Barry, I'm glad you like them. Let's see if Mark D. notices the manufacturer and model stamping...

I just want to point out the consistency in both the weld size and the heat marks. The even heat marks show a steady hand and a steady weld while welding. Just that in inself is a sign of quality work. The fitment is top shelf too.

VERY nice work

Thanks Jim PM sent. For other board members, Jim continues to surprise me with his rapid responses and support well beyond my expectations. Even with his large backlog, he still finds time to discuss in detail aspects of fitment. So rare these days to find fabricators with the attention to detail and customer service he has demonstrated. Know this, if you want a quality product backed by engineering expertise, he is unique. Thanks Jim

Is Jim on this board? I just migrated to this one and have not been able to find any reference to his work other than this post.

Hi GD.

I have been downplaying the marketing of my chambers while trying to get the waiting list a little more reasonable in size. I'm still adding names as requested though.

Jim, have you ever thought of having the cones rolled by an outside company? There is a guy on the rd board that makes pipes, he used to roll his own(lol) but now has them done like this. I am not sure what you factor your labor in at on the cost of pipes, and don't really want to know either because it probably isn't enough, but it may be cost effective to have them done outside. Here is the company that he uses http://www.coneeng.com/

Jim will probably tell you, it's the welding that is time consuming........

HHHmmmm, I didn't want to say anything, but one of the pipes he built for me smelled very "herbal" when I started the bike up...........
