Magnificent 7

luv it.

Many

Many Thanks! Much appreciated the time you spent responding to me! Awesome.

Your welcome dingodog!

If you were closer I would teach you!

There is a lot of trades and skills that I think will be lost some day and glad you were interested.

Ok, now back to my pipe. Pipe is on order with taper cones, transition cones etc....

Now I have to go get some graph paper and compass to make templates for all my cuts since it is pipe.

I have a 90 degree circular bend coming but I would like my angles to look more square like the Dyno Port pipes. Think they always looked cool!

For now I am keeping the bend coming off cylinder , transitioning to the 180 degree bend. That's where I am going to hitch the ride going up. I'm only going to tack weld that area if I decide to come back and reproduce that area as well.

So we will see since this is my first rodeo doing this except for roll bars!

Why can't something be easy and you don't have to calculate stuff off rocket scientist!

You are pushing yourself. It makes you better. I can relate to it (maybe to a lesser level) I've been a electro mechanical tech for 35 years or so. I do all things on my house, 2suvs, a car, a one ton truck, & 8 or nine bikes. We figure things out. One of these days when the planets align & I can spend some money on my bikes, I will be following your painting instructions for sure. Very comprehensive instructions you gave me. I have them saved for some day.

pipe building is voodoo....."its the dark side young dart"

I think the hand made pipes look sensational. cant wait to see the outcome

Thanks guys!

Can't wait to get all my stuff to start calculating the cuts and building the templates.

can't wait.....but I will.

Darn,
I want to mention to you that I have some black Husky wheels for a cheap price. They are made in china so i will sell them cheap.

I bought them from a forum member here for full retail price and it turned out they were Chinese imitations.

Here is the other silencer I made, zip tied to the 83.

I finished the logo on it and cleared over it.

I have made half dozen silencer brackets for this one and 390.

Still don't like them so I am still working on a design.

Each silencer I make will go with each bikes colors.

I really like them!

Except the fingers prints on them every time I touch them!

Are those for Vintage?

Here is a silencer bracket.

They have to be lower profile since I'm running bigger tubes.

Here is a tip if the bracket bent the silencer in.

Wrap silencer in wrag and put the silencer under the jaws of your vice.
Use a crow bar and gradually lift the brackets. Brackets will lift and pull the dent back out.
Go nice and easy and approach bracket at different angles.

Wa La! Good as new!

Ok,

Got this template thing dialed!

This is based on 4 inch tubing. These two together make a 45 angle.

Will be easier on pipe. Paper lil hard to stick together with tape.

So think I'm going to back angle down to 5 sections to make a tight 90, but more gradual.

Once I get the pipe cut then I can tack weld it together and make a mating cut for perfect matching fit.

This is an example of bend I'm going to do on top.

too

Hope it long movie guys...... I have to travel all this week and some next. Tubing, cones and etc... are on order.
At nights in hotel, I will be making pipe cutting templates.

I am also derailed on another Vintage Husky project for some one special, on a deadline, and will fill you in later.

mmmm, do tell . Well pics work too. lol
