      Thank you
      Not that it matters THAT much, but how stupid could I be to make the one pipe that has a longer way to travel in the front also have the longer way to travel at the back

        Neat design, but where are the ice studs in the tires?

        I love the vision you had to route the pipes under the frame like that.

          Just had it out for a small spin that day to see if it took "thief air" (directly translated from swedish...) which it did so instead of buying new rubber intakes for 150 dollars I converted it to an SU



          I got the intake off a friend who had made it for a Kawasaki 650, but the customer never picked it up. It was a bit too small hence the enourmous amount of ugly welds . Now there's no sign of thief air and runs smooth as hell.

          The vision of the pipes I have to blame the bearded guy in the pic for. He forced me to do it, while I was too scared to destroy the original pipes since I didn't know anything about building motorbikes. I'm glad he did.

            The bearded guy was right

            Interestingly enough when I was getting my pipe made, the guy who made it for me says making slightly different length headers can be a good thing on twin cylinder bikes...

                      Thumbs up! I have a Kawasaki 750 twin from 84 which also has kickstarter. Adds alot of niceness

                        I kick started all through my youth, an RD400 and a KZ1000. I, for one, am glad to have a button. After all, "gentlemen don't kick-start their motorcycles"! Paul

                          That, indeed, is their own problem
