    The snail pipes did not last very long. I think you found the reason...

    I am not criticizing your work but the snailpipe was a bandaid for down pipe bikes like the mid 70's Maico that did not have the space over the engine that Husqvarna did.

    It is a lost art of that era.

    I will find out. One of my neighbors had a modified 125 Elsinore with one on it and an older friend had one on his CZ.

    I think they look cool. Definitely different. It may not work exactly as you wish but it will stand out. In any case your bikes would stand out... I can't wait to see them finished IRL.

    I text my neighbor growing up. Dean said that he and his dad, did the DG head, snail pipe, ignition, and bigger Carb on his Elsinore back in day. He said that bike ran awesome back then. I asked if there was difference between the snail pipe and stock. He didn't know because they bolted everything on all at once.

    Chayzed Pilot on here? Might have run one?

    I will check with bud Scott about his CZ.

    Nailed it!

    Or do you say " Snailed It"!

    Some old lost artwork!

    Even got Husky And Fox badge on it for Fox Husky.

    I know what pipe is going on the Maico!

    There's nothing wrong with a snail pipe. Jimspac is right about why they were utilized, but if you can get the right cones on there they will work as well as any. And coolness factor... well just look at those photos! Might kick up a bit of dust, though!

    New designed shock mounts for my fox shox. Built into the existing mounts and if a guy ever wants to put back to stock. Just cuts them off carefully and grinds down all the welds flush to old frame and mounts. Plus retains all the stuff for side number plates.
