Looking for the hardware for the Beson exhaust. I recently picked one up for my race bike once the motor gets built but does not have hardware. Thanks

Doubt that you'll find any mounding hardware. Springs are easy at any motorcycle supply house. You'll likely need to have the mount fabricated. It's a simple welding job to make a saddle that also bolts to the bottom of the engine - and ties to the can with T-bar type band clamps.

Don't have any pics - sorry about that.

thanks Slaughter, I work for Harley in La so springs are not a problem. I was just wondering about the bracket and what it looked like. Thanks again

I'll see if I can take a pic of the bracket. Pretty simple really.

The motor is XB9 bored to 3 13/16 bore (1169cc), NRHS stage 3 heads, 585 cams, high pressure fuel regulator, I have Jim's semi-solid lifters but I'd just stay with stock lifters and rods. I've kept compression at 10.5 to 1 - lets me run pump premium and besides, the higher compression just hits reliability. The motor was originally built for a 6 hour race.

I have the Factory race module and Beson pipe so I can run leaded race fuel. (no oxygen sensor). "Soft" rev limit set at 7800 with "hard" limit at 8000 for sprint racing. I set soft rev limit to 7500 for long races. You can't tweak redlines without the race module.

Crank is lightened/balanced. The short stroke motor revs up quick!

Theres' other details in the heads, HEAVY springs, manganese bronze bushings, roller rockers.

Because I have the semi-solids, I also got the Zippers removable pushrod covers since I have to adjust the pushrods.

Hey - how far are you from Michoud? I have to hit there a couple times a year.

You race CMRA? I have friends out of the Dallas area who race with CMRA and they're down LA way for I think one or two races a year.

What have you done to the intake system, did you put something else on or using a 12?

Michoud, in New orleans Didnt know there was a track around there. I live about 45 mins south/soutwest of new orleans in Houma. There is a local track here No Problem Raceway but there is no racing just track days. With my schedule Its hard for me to get away for more then a day or 2 so its just for fun right now

I mis-spoke!

I work at Lockheed and a couple times a year I go to Michoud.

The CMRA guys race at 3 tracks in TX, Hallet in OK and there's at least one race in LA.

I'll see if I can get you a pic of that exhaust hanger today - you might be able to rig something up based on the pic.

Pics were taken by a buddy of mine when I was still kidding myself about some parts of the cases being repairable. Yes, it's dirty and oily - happens when you tear holes in the engine when the bike tumbles end-over-end starting at about 120MPH (entering turn 8 at Willow Springs)

Don't know if the pics help but you can kinda see the inverted T hanger bolted to the engine case and the 2 band clamps holding the muffler can.

Again, the T is not square because the Beson muffler is slightly diagonal under the engine.

Too bad that Tom Beson had to get out of the business because of health reasons. He was a good fabricator.

You might also call Terry at Hal's Racing - they might even have one or be able to fabricate one for you... just a thought. They were the first folks to race the Beson and they might just have parts lying around????

Rhinehart <sp?> is now making a pipe nearly identical to the Beson. That's what Hal's is selling right now in place of the Beson pipe.
