Shorty Pipe Mod

[sedars]

yo patrick, I will throw some dirt in my clean garage, and on my bike so it can suck like yours- I forgot we should not take care of our stuff, I can't believe people on this forum would talk shit about someone keeping their stuff nice, gotta go dig for my dirt, later!!!

Sedars,
I am envious of your clean ride. I can't for the life of me keep my bike clean. I don't know if it's just because I ride mine too much, or if I'm a lazy piece of crap and only wash mine whenever I feel like it. (which isn't very often)

Mine's all black with the exception of the amber wheels and windscreen. My wheels get nasty lookin quick.

sedars, cleanliness is a key.

Not everyone has the time to do it so you may offend others who may not take the time to do the same.

My bike stays dirty because I ride everyday as my main source of transportation here in Southern CA.

So I look to individuals such as yourself that keeps a clean bike as inspiration to do the same. +1 & [up][up]

 

[ADAMLEE]

I wish my bike could stay that clean all the time but the fact is it doesn't. Best bet that I'll have it sparkling at MotoGp this year!

Nice work keeping your toys looking great.

Thanks men, I hear ya, I hate black rides, I mean when they are clean they rock but it seems they are very rarely that way[mad], my bobber is black, the only way it stays clean is when I don't ride it, which is most of the time

 

[Midnight82]

Yea, the other issue I'm having with the black is my airbox cover is showing where from leaning on it (zipper and belt buckle rubbage). I'd put a tank protector deal on it, but I think they look silly.

I want to repaint mine, just haven't landed on a color.

 

[only1reds]

no worries sedars, just calling it how I see it brother.

As for the black rides, my XB9SX has all black fairings, and rims. I can totally relate, but love how she looks at the sametime [up][down], it's sorta a love hate situation.

 

[sedars]

Hey Midnight, if I can make one suggestion, it would be keep it simple, now if you look at my bike I did not take that advice but they sweet when they are kept simple!!

 

[Midnight82]

Yea, It'd be out of charector for me to drive something too flashy. [cool]

I might just redo the black, but have it done nicely.

My bike was originally red, but repainted black by a previous owner. It's a bad paint job, it has that orange peel look. [sad]

 

[sedars]

yeah, thats no good, nothing some wet sanding and buffing wont cure!!

 

[Midnight82]

I'll have to give that a shot!

 

[burnteyes]

Looks good i would like to see a custom pipe that is flatter against the bottom of the bikes. making it harder to see and i have the scg that will bump the exhaust on rough RR crossings and some speed bumps.

Now that sucks. Never thought about that one [smirk][down]

 

[sedars]

you know there is not much to these race pipes, you could for sure make your own, that would be cool to have a flat pipe!!!

 

[Kole_DeWoody]

I like it. Did you paint your bike?

 

[sedars]

Yep, I do all my own work, (and stunts!)

 

[tuneport67ss]

I think a flat pipe is a great idea. Do a little bit of chamber work on it and I bet the sound would be great. I may have to work on this. I hapen to have some stainless sheet laying around. May be a winter project.

 

[TechMagic]

Yea I've bumped my race pipe cutting lots before, a stainless race pipe that's about half as thick, with a matching wide outlet would look cool. I know extremelow wouldn't like it since the bike would look taller.

 

[tuneport67ss]

Ya but with the flatter pipe, you could lower it even more. LOL

 

[sedars]

I was even thinking of making a dual straight pipe what would only come off the bottom of the engine about 3 inches, that would also sound badass!
