FXR exhaust manifold wanted PLEASE

[Arronduke]

I am after a FXR exhasut manifold for a new exhaust.

I could cut my old one off my modified pipe... (under slung mod) but dont want to... could get one lazer cut... tried that... they wanted $50 notes for one...!!! I think this is a rip off...

So I am begging for one to buy around the $10-20 mark... will pay for couier if needed, other wise I grind my current one off.... was plaining to have it with me as a spare on race day etc which other could use if needed.

thanks

Why not just carve one out of a lump of steel. They aren't that complicated

[Arronduke]

Henk... does the word lazy come to mind?

I agree but ....... what an effort..

Just hoping someone might have a broken exhasut that is no good... and would like to bank $5

[Henk]

get the $50 one. You like expensive. Actually get it cut out of some stupidly expensive and exotic material.

[Arronduke]

I could get one cast.... now thats a good idea...might be a little brittle..
I think I will be doing the cut on mine...

THANKS Henk... may your bed bugs bite hard

[Henk]

Sorry you seem to have developed a reputation for doing things in a way that costs buckets of money and reduces performance, can't think why.

[Arronduke]

Don't for get Hank when I'm finished with it I will sell it for FA.... "spend heaps, reduce perfomance and sell it for fuck all" I think thats how Grant puts it...LOL

Oh just a though would you mind cutting off your exhaust manifold and sending it my way? ... heee

thanks

[Henk]

I'm sort of using my exhaust manifold at the moment so no you can't have it. I will however give you $500 for your FXR now, save you the effort of puting the final touches on it and then getting frustrated when it runs worse than a stock one. I have your best interests at heart, really.

[Arronduke]

I thought you might be using it but I have an excellent idea... you could give me yours and then make one..... after all...

"I can just carve one out of a lump of steel. They aren't that complicated" quoted by Henk... Thanks Henk that would be great ...

[Henk]

You obviously haven't been exposed to any of my engineering work. If you can't do it with a jigsaw a drill and a grinder I'm ppretty much screwed.
If push come to shove I could have a go at making one at work but the results won't be pretty.

What would he care what it looks like, it's going on your bike as you're giving yours to him. Doh

[Henk]

I was going to give him the one I made, don't want my pipe falling off halfway through the sweeper.

[Arronduke]

Dutchee...

Your on to it... ... Henk has to go to work tomorrow... and post me somthing on the way..

Hi Aaron

I use Custom Chambers in Kerwyn Ave - quite handy for you. Yes, it might cost. I just paid $300 for the repair of my son's GPZ600 exhaust which fell apart due to rust. The guy does a great job. He made the down-pipe and mountings for my FXR150 exhaust (unfortunately the muffler is now smashed in a bad way from my crash - would cost too much for him to fix - he reckons :( ). I've not started to attempt to repair it yet. I might have to use my standard exhaust when I feel ready to work on the bike - which needs many other repairs as well :( - handlebar mounts, back brake lever/footrest mount .....

Thanks Damien, Yes I have used Custom Chambers over the years and he does know what he doing.

Sorted.... Sent my drawing to another company that does lazer cutting and the price dropped to $18.56... now thats more like it.
Still actually might make one at work... found some 6mm plate instead of the 8mm plate.

start a thread about the crash and repairs that go into this bike will you
would be lots to photograph and we can all amm and ahh over it

I saw the bike after the crash and cant belive there was that much damage
hope you get it all back together soon

[Arronduke]

I agree... it was a little sad and sorry when it was being pushed off the track.

[Damien_Toman]

I will take some photos and upload them. Still not started on the bike yet. The knee is improving well. I have an appointment with a surgeon on Monday. I hope to be told that all is good. I can ride an exercise bike so a motorbike should be no worries : ), I hope.

Thanks for your help at the scene - I never got to thank you and all the guys that picked up the pieces and wheeled the bikes back.
