One of my favorite Dennis Berg 'Cobra' builds is a VN800. He did a really nice basic black chopper too.

Nice, drum brakes too...

Bit more header pipe work

From this pic it looks like you might be heading towards doing a 2 into 1 exhaust. Are you just banging something together with the pipes, anything goes. Or are you doing anything to ensure good exhaust length to match the pulses? Or have I misjudged your intentions and to do 2 pipes as it had stock?

...if, like most, Just A Wanker was ignored and not played with...just sayin...

Don't know Lone Rider, but some things I like about his build, some I could pass on, but I don't think it's my place to put his ride down. I guess you've never heard the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it", especially when it's uncalled for...

Yeah? Who are you to be arbiter of what is "called for" anyhow Spider..

As for your hypocritical platitudes about criticism.. pretty ironic eh.. "What a web we weave..."

LR is up for critique of his doings, for sure.. or otherwise - why would he post it up here - on social media..
& LR can respond for himself, if he wants to.. so how about you take you own advice there too eh, fella..

I also note that you didn't pile in - when LR's fabrication techniques were being critically appraised, earlier in the thread.. or didn't you actually read it?

Too funny..

Just another member of this site with the same (if not more) privileges as you have ...

At least he isn't a complete and total fuckwit like you ...

YOU are also up for critique to by posting comments on social media. Who are YOU to decide who can/should comment/respond ... ??

The fact that you may be be capable of reading full sentances ... continues to amaze me. Actually understanding what was written ... seems to continue to elude you though ...

Too funny..

Small minds are easily amused ...

[gsxr]

& have you gsxr, got something to actually contribute to the topic?

A critique of some technical nature perhaps? A defence of LR's selected colour palate choice, maybe?

Otherwise, be advised, your post is reportable as abusive/off-topic..

Or is it - that you are really upset enough to post-nasty, because - you are in fact - the LR's squeeze? L.O.L...

Thank you Just A wanker for yet another inane comment.
I have read and reread your comments to enable me to understand how your keyboard is analyzing things.
Apart from your comment about LR fabrication skills everything is negative.
Not everyone has your taste in the perfect ride and thank fuck for that
If I wish to add Yamaha jog scooter fairing to my 996 then that is my choice.
Nothing to add to LR build as he is doing it as he wants it and so far looks all good to me.
If he was asking for advice then Im sure it would be forthcoming.

Feel free to report me and give me red rep.
I can handle that from JUST A Wanker

Too funny.. & shit, you are way too sensitive..

I dare you to do a thread showing you desecrating a 996.. & await the comments you'll draw for doing so..

But, of course that proposal of yours - is simply an "inane comment".. since you actually have some obsolescent ol' shitbox..
What's the matter, can't you upgrade to a 1/2 decent SRAD? L.O.L...

I won't report/red rep you, ( bet you can't wait to get into doing that, eh) - but some busybody hypocritical stick-in-the-mud much like you, likely will..

Front end assembly done. Exhaust assembly done.

[gsxr]

Looks good Be good to see the end result.

But is the back cylinder header long
enough to be balanced ???

Cruiser mate - don't worry about that shit it's not revving to 10,000 rpm - you will never notice.

[rambaldi]

I guess that answers one of my queries, the exhaust looks nice Are you doing anything to balance the pulses or are you going with Allan's solution of fuck it, its a cruiser who cares?

Are you taking the piss out of gsxr - Rambi?

Or are you really just as ignorant...

FYI, A-B is correct about that.. & you'll see the same if you check out most any dungery ol' V-twin with a 2-into-1 pipe..

( & also FYI, you'll likely get pinged by an anal moderator - for duplicating that pic, too)..

I was merely asking a simple question. Yes oid Vtwins run fine with unbalanced exhausts but if I was going to the extreme that LR is i would want some extra performance out of it as well
Unless of course you just want the blip blop pop bang pop bang pop of an unbalanced exhaust.
Merely asking a simple question.
Myself If I was going to the trouble of building new headers I would build them balanced but each to there own.
That is what is great about motor cycles we all have our differing oppinions and preferences and can customise,modify,performance modify or bling them out to our own needs or preferences

Are you suggesting that LR should add a 'balance' pipe between the headers straight across, under the intake air-box?

You do realize that those V-twins do not have even firing intervals, (unlike your Suzuki), & it aint no Britten..so, for such sluggard it doesn't really matter..
Opinion does not come into it either, 'cept in the aesthetic looks depts

Putting on a different seat from what I originally made (that seat and the Cobra exhaust are both for sale).
