Maybe highest power at f.ex 5000 rpm, which probably also gives good indication of what power elsewhere on curve regarding flat spots and power down low etc. :thumbup:

Hey Walms," All joking aside... Where do you think K-Tel got their inspiration for they're crossed up pipes??? " Maybe they saw mine from 1989?? I don't have a pic but there is one in the old Classic Racer mag which is scanned onto the old Tomcat website. :) I am sure the photo legend JA has it.

It's not that I claimed that I was the first to do a set of crossed up pipes and I doubt you were the first in 89 either... ;)
I saw enough similarity in the header pipe region that it was worth a mention.

I think RB invented the first crossover pipes, when he looped his H2 a million years ago......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am not claiming anything Walms, just stirring you a little :-) I don't reckon you did yours before '89. H1R's had crossed over pipes in 1970 I reckon. Gerrit will know or H2RTuner.

LC's bike sports my favorite set of pipes I've seen to date. Made in the mid 70's by a fellow named Wolf. Split tapered headers, the whole "10" yards.
