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 ...

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.
