    Bad news for sure I am sorry to say. Don't walk away from PFR, run away ! I speak from first hand experience.

    Same here!

    I was going to buy 3.

    Figure I will have bout $130 in making them in house. Just didn't want to spend day cutting angles and tig welding them up.

    If you buy an PFR pipe buy it from another company like AMS racing in Arizona or one of the bike specific shops, I think most of the Husky parts places sell PFR pipes. Whatever you do, dont buy it directly from Eric unless you want to wait as long as Big Bill.

    I will! I am calculating all my cuts on paper and making templates. I am sure there will be few wrong cuts in the process.

    Be nice if the end result is some scanned templates we could print, cut, sketch on pipe and cut.

    The round bends and the cone bends are going to get tricky on the tangent areas.

    i know there arent many places that offer pipes for these but it sounds like these guys do not need supported, whatever route that may be.

    I wont support them through any source, but if someone must have one, there are better sources than PFR directly.

    I'm healing again. I'm ok. Time to put the yard tools to sleep. Make sure the plow is running. Then pull bike parts and box them for each build. Time to start.
