BFTP - Blast From The Past Rides

[KiwiGs]

I like the cycle works "slash" pipes myself.
The GS had one on it when I got it but it was poked, so I made a stainless steel replica. I liked the look and sound.
Then I found an old cycle works canister and it sounds even better.....

[Dieseldick]

we were discussing that the other day eh DD?, great pipe in my opinion maybe
a bit dated or non 'oem' in appearance for some, but nice and light and
always give a great tone on 4cyl

I think they still go with that period though.

IMO, chromed 4-2 OEM/replica pipes bring far to much bling, to an everyday, road machine. Just my opinion.

Sounds not everything. Does it go better?

Can't really say, since I have put the new pipe on I have set the tappets, re-cleaned the carbs and vacuum synced them.
The bike does go better though.....

Dodgy, I thought you were going to operate on my pipe, with that hacksaw
Many folks don't rate the Cycleworks slash pipe. It's only because they don't appreciate the versatility and potential of the basic design.

No way, looks cool- I like it a lot.

Cycleworks are good by me, love the trick stainless system I have of theirs, was good for 7 R/W hp straight out of the box- did before and after runs on the dyno so no illusions, real horsepower!

Damn, I've forgotton to freak you out first with my potential disaster scenarios. Ok, ok, let me think... Fire, umm explosion... screaming (mostly you) and ah.. temporary blindness. Sweet, that will do.

Have you got the video footage on your PC? What is the file format.. Quicktime?

If quicktime, it can be uploaded direct to Youtube and photobucket.
If the files are much over 40 meg it would be best to use Youtube as photobucket shits itself during uploads

just spoke to my old work mate, my problem need better video card, and more RAM ( only got 500 odd) hes going to copy vid to disc for me then next week give computer more power,, in my langugue BIGGER motor

....more RAM ( only got 500 odd)

Don't tell Dodgie...he's already keen to move to the country.

Bring it over Wed or Thursday after 3pm and we can make up that rigid rear end, I mean exhaust welding

just got back from DODGY'S CUSTOMS garage.
have the exhaust all sorted:
silencer cut, grinded, repositioned, welded, grinded again,
then rear bracket removed, bent a few times for a perfect fit, cut, grinded, welded, grinded again...

no injuries, not even a swear word

next phase: procoat

Yeah, but what about Dodgy?
