We then drive another 130 miles to pick up the parts and drop off the next batch. In the case of Black ceramic or SS Titanium ceramic the freshly coated silver ceramic parts get lightly abraded and sprayed and baked for a third time. Coater then tumbles the parts in large vats to burnish (harden) the surface. Coater then masks and sprays the parts with silver ceramic and bakes the parts for a second time. Coater blasts the parts, cleans the parts again and applies a sealer coat and lets the parts dry. Coater bakes the parts, then cleans the parts to remove any internal residue. Drive the parts 65 miles one way to the coater. Tig weld and hand fit the merge collector. In case you are interested, here's the drill for ceramic coating. When assembling the parts put a light coat of Permatex 598B silicone in the slip joints or any gasket silicone compound that is compatible with O2 sensors. Silver Ceramic, Black Ceramic (dual coat) or SS Titanium (dual coat) finishes. Laser cut and machined exhaust ports with machined spigots to keep exhaust flow at a high speed. Slip joint design eliminates cracking from thermal expansion and contraction as well as bike vibration. We use 45mm or 1 3/4" primary tubes for the R1100 series. Less than amused, they advised us to notify them in the future if we were testing "movie bikes". Power in 1st and 2nd gear then it died in 3rd, strangled by the exhaust.Īfter we got away, the cops tracked us down after backtracking and, through a process of elimination, found our shop. We got to run from the cops while testing it. 45 or so crank horsepower is just too much for the smaller tubes.

We built larger pipes for the bike after the movie was made. The sound guys wanted the pipes to "crackle" so we made some 1 1/2" primary tubes. We know because we did just that for Mickey Rourke's Harley in the movie "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man". If we put 38mm (1 1/2") primary tubes on any Harley, which has a similar bore size, it would kill the top end.

Look at late, very expensive, R series race bikes and you'll see what we mean. The large bore (99mm) pistons are happier with a larger cross sectional area. The oem 38mm primary tubes are the limit in the system. We cut up a R1100RT header to show the difference in tubing sizes. We offer two versions, one quieter than the other.Sport or Touring (quieter). Sophisticated hand made merge collector with our LSR Black Hole sound-cancelling technology. 1 3/4" (45mm) primaries instead of the OEM 38mm ones which restrict the bike's potential. You dont need to worry about the race rep crowd either, this bike gets respect as a genuine racer on the road.Early R1100RT three bolt and later R1150RT two bolt systems. it attracts all sorts of attention, even has people photographing it at bike meets. The bike is the best handling that i have ever owned, ok its not the quickest but thats not why i bought it. When I took stock of what I really wanted from a bike the following were important to me Something that looked the part, sensible power out-put, a physicaly large bike (I'm 6ft 4)and it had to be affordable (I leased the bike from BMW on a 'select'finance deal, it costs me less than £100 a month with a £1200 deposit and i can hand it back after 3 years!). I purchased this bike new last year after owning a GSX-R750, Fireblade, Hayabusa and a ZX12R that I crashed in France!
