Finished Pipe, almost.

Here is the finished pipe. Well almost, couple welds to finish, then some Scotchbrite work.

Difficult to figure routing. Be much easier if I didn't have a 10 year old son desperately wanting on the back.
Try to find a "leg happy" spot for the set of passenger pegs required. Think we will still add a carbon heat-shield at the beginning of the muffler.

Anyways, happy with the result, it zigs in to clear my calf and kind of stays true to the look of a dirt tracker.

I'm sure the performance guru's will complain that the primary is too long and the pipe won't flow so good around the frame, but f____ them. This works and if I loose 4-5 HP because of bad pipe tuning, so be it. Can always build a track only system, when I'm out of things to do, or in other words... never.

Anyways, next step is the ton of wiring to go on. Got the ballast and relay for the HID bulb, coils, new teeny weenie ballistic battery, regulator, gauge, sensors, signals, and tail lights. Bought the parts to build a cool little keyless ignition. Got the RFID key fobs, 3" distance receiver and the fancy latching relay. It'll almost be modern.





Have to add exhaust retention springs here to the slip joints before the collector.



Little goofy through the leg area here, but it contours nicely in and away from my calf when its on the peg and my knee is up tight to the tank. Might pre heat the left fuel bowl a little. Compromise... leg or float bowl...

  1. You will have to wrap those pipes. Excessive heat will boil the gas in that float bowl and melt that rubber gas line.
