And other fruity noises are now all mine :p Shameless repost from the 'zorst section because I'm just too damn bouncy :D

And I'll say the same thing here as I did there - them baffles are only in because the 3mm drill bit just won't cut it - needs a 4mm :)

[thor]

Is it just me, or does stick out a bit?

But yeah, "BROOOOOWWWW!!!!" :)

[DoubleD]

looking very 8-) 8-) 8-)

[MiniMatt]

Damn, you noticed the sticky outy :) Yeah, it's not quite right, it's nearly there but not quite, trouble is, pulling it also forces it up a bit and that then starts to foul the hanger. Might have another play tonight at getting it lined up.

Oh, & DD - yep, had to start it sans-can - got flames! Woo :) (and much curtain twitching from the grannies across the road) :p

[Bluepete]

Just need to paint your hangers like this;

and it will all come together very nicely. BTW, Nice can!:D

[plowsie]

I turned the link pipe so that the turn in the pipe is facing the bike ;) straightened mine up nicely

[Bluepete]

Looking at it again, that link pipe looks kinda long. Mine is a CC can and the mount is about half way along the sleeve of the can. It appears your link pipe is longer from the bend to the can than mine. just an observation, plus yours isn't battered and scraped like mine!

[Baph]

Turn that link pipe round a bit (so the kink half way along comes out a little more). That should straighten her up nicely. :thumbsup:

[kwak zzr]

nice:) the can really finishes it off nicely:)

[mister c]

You must be a glutton for punishment. A Lav 750s, had one of those, was always in bits broken down :(
Nice can tho :):)

Got any bits left over? 'Cos guess what state mine's in :D

[MiniMatt]

I think you might be right BluePete, pulling the kink in the pipe out a bit (as Baph rightly notes) pulls the can in toward the bike, but also pushes it vertically up a bit more, and then it fouls the hanger. If it were a little shorter it could be pulled in a bit but not foul the hanger (and the hanger would sit more midway along the can as well).

The diameter on the link pipe is all fine, I'd shorten it myself but it's flanged at the ends, and pipe forming is beyond my many and varied skills (mostly specialised in flatulance and idleness).

I'll give 'em a ring tomorrow :)

[Bluepete]

He he he, you said Flanged. he he he (runs away giggling):D :D :D

[gettin2dizzy]

In that case, remove the whole job lot, and cut your exhaust again, a little further down this time, thus moving the whole job lot forward. Shouldn't foul the hanger then. In theory.

Oh yea you need to get rid of that snow shovel & get a tail tidy, small plate, and small indicators!

[MiniMatt]

Watch it you, or I'll say "moist" :p Nice job on those hangers btw, v. tempted.

It's going to be a little close, it's a 45mm rather than 50mm cut to begin with and there's only about a 5mm gap if that betwixt the "flange" :D and the weld. Even though my school metalwork teacher would have been proud of the quality of my hacksaw cut (suprised myself) I'm not sure I can pull off the same trick twice :)


... Snow Shovel!...

I know, I know :) Next job I promise (or maybe a black double bubble!)

[Girth]

Pete fancy doing my hangers! lol

i didnt even notice them!

[Bluepete]

Only did 'em yesterday fella! The lads at the tyre fitters admired them too. Just a shame the front ones wold rub away really fast. Unless.....powdercoat? Anyone? Someone? Would it last?

[Girth]

I know of a place that do powder coating, but they usually do push bike stuff.

Which CCC can is you've got? I've been looking and cant deceide between a budget Fuel or a £99'er CCC!

[Bluepete]

£99 CCC oval stainless from Ebay, 'bout 20 months old, still very shiny (apart from the gravel rash!) I'm trying to post a short vid on idle banter and you can really hear th rumble!

[Girth]

I want to hear your zorst again!

You out this weekend pete? Looking to go out on sunday again.
