i was amazed at the crap these pipes had inside them. it has an internal stinger with an ID of 40mm that flat slams into the 25mm silencer. not even close to being performance oriented. so that leaves the cone relativly unfinished and rathe useless. so here's what i did. i cut a pie out of the cone, squeezed it togeter and to finish the cone a lot better.
then i fabbed up a stinger with an ID of 20mm, exactly as i did with the RZ pipes (accept no bend). i figure if it worket for the RZ, why not try the same on the RD. so now i can mount any of the toomey style silencers.
jigged then up to the pipes and welded everything up giving them the real pipe look. i also lost a whopping 5lbs of thick trash metal. is it loud? hell ya!

so your asking youself, why am i posting this here? well here's why, i've been told by many "tuners" than these small stingers may give HP, but will hole your piston. well theoreticly thats correct, but according to the RZ and now the RD, thats more likely with fixed timing. with your CDI, the retarding nullifies the overheating and detonation problems. now get this, the engine will rev as far as i can stand it, it does not have a rev limit, power is not quite what the RZ has, but certainly would give it a run for the money. i would guess 50-60hp. it now pulls past redline easily in any gear, and i'm running 16/38 sprockets. with the overrev it's got to be doing well over 115mph. it was like riding a TZ. just beautifull! this was my first real hard ride on the bike, it was kinda useless before if you have nothing comming out of the corners. i had no problems dragging the knees and absolutly no odd characteristics i was expecting when i pushed the bike hard. its just a dream come true. and i couldn't have done it without your totaly awsome kit. the only down side was rebraking one of the bones in my foot.
so people ask "why RDD CDI?" this is why!
thanx mate, your CDI is the shit!
you can move this if you want, i don't want you to have to deal with fools holing their pistons copying me.
let us have that sound clip of the pipes will ya?
