Hard Krome Pipes for Harley Davidson and Metric Cruisers.
Hard Krome pipes are available for both metric cruisers and Harley Davidson cycles. We currently only carry metric cruiser exhaust systems by Hard Krome. This manufacturers exhaust systems are made with true double wall construction to prevent bluing due to the heat that is generated in a motorcycle exhaust. Everyone of these systems is not only made to look good but too also perform to the highest industry standards. These pipes are designed to improve midrange punch on your cycle to give your fellow bikers a run for their money. Hard Krome believes that bigger pipes are better therefore their pipes tend to have a diameter of 2.5 to 3 inches. A Hard Krome system will give your bike a unique sound, which is a gutsy tone that sets them apart from other pipes. When you are running with a Hard Krome system a good twist of the throttle will let everyone know that you are running a Hard Krome exhaust system on your ride.
If you do decide to go with a Hard Krome systems the manufacturer recommends that you use a Dynojet Stage jet kit if you are running carburetors. If you have a fuel injected system a power commander and having the fuel injection remapped to adjust for the pipe. If this is not done your bike could be running to lean and will cause a pop on deceleration. The manufacturer also recommends that you replace the crush gaskets to ensure an air tight seal between the cylinder head and the head pipe junction. Crush gaskets are an OEM part and will need to be ordered from your dealer. We do no carry this item in our inventory.
