Hey guys, I went and built an exhaust pipe to day. The other day I had found a bunch of scrap bits with a few bends of some EMT conduit. I had made a header flange and a exhaust gasket of copper. I wasnt really sure what was going on when I was building but I just sorta rolled with it. In the last while I had been looking at exhaust building and the various types on how they ar fitted and put together.
It was about 2' long, 1 1/8OD conduit. It sound like it might be a larger motor cycle than it actually is. Kinda has a hot rod like idle, but I reckon it needs some baffling or a muffler can put on to make more back pressure.
When I gun it, it wants to die, but when I apply some throttle then giver, it jumps and barks pretty good. Other than that its nice and Im impressed with myself as this is a first.
The other day I had drilled and installed some wing nuts on my fender and brake linkage's, I drilled them so I could put some locking wire and have an interesting look to them. I also used some wire to hold on the tail pipe to the fender strut.
I gaver another ride around the block with the new pipe. It hauls pretty good. it also definatlly lets people know ur about.
Lastly, I also found an office chair down the block in the alley. It has a leather seating surface and the hydraulics were good, the only thing wrong with it was the seat was cracked in half and broken at where the base bolts on, so I guess why it was out in the alley. I had used the lifter to fix another one in the house, the seat back I had taken apart because it was going to be the material for the bike seat. What a wicked score. About a 1/4 hide, this could make 2 seats for me if I needed.
Ill try to get some pics of it being ridden or a vid. I might put one on the you tube sometime soon.
