Just go to the track and ask all the fast guys with lowered bikes.

By the way. It doesn't work with stock exhaust system.

turbo or sidewinder bikes use only.I am working with a guy to develop one that wil serve same purpose but can use with any type exhaust.lmk what your loking to do.
 
Funny you should ask. We build custom conversion atv's here, and this is a turbocharged busa, thats in need of some more ground clearance. Im most worried about it bouncing around in the sand dunes. I tried to get a little info from ape about the swivel pickup, but they were a little hesitant to say. Im curious if the swivel is using a double sealed radial bearing, or if its on a post with a snap ring. I really need the pan, we try not to hack anything in our shop, but I may have to redesign the swivel if I think it will vibrate stuck.

Gary,

I have one of these billet oil pan in my Hayabusa powered Mallock Racing car.

It works absolutely fine for me. My discipline is hillclimbing so we start from a standing start and no problem with this kind of acceleration.

We corner hard and sometimes brake hard too and i have not had any problems yet.

Mush easier & cheaper than a dry sump. I know a dry sump is 1" lower but that was not enugh of a reason for me to spend lots of extra cash!

After speaking to a race car builde rin the UK who uses Hayabusa's in his cars he told me to use one of these billet oil pans.

Hope that helps.

Regards
