Well over the last few days Mike and myself have been working on his exhaust. It is a fully 3" equivalent ovalized tube exhaust, v-band clamps, etc.

We just tacked it together, and Mike is dropping it off tomorrow to have it tigged.

Time for some pics!







And some badass pie-cut work.

got my exhaust back all nicely tigged..
















clearance is much more gooder



just have to make the axle back section now

Looking awesome so far!

If you don't mind posting the dimensions on that steel tube you used to make the lower rad support I would appreciate it. I want to do something very similar seeing as my skid plate currently mounts to the paper thin oem rad support and is doing a good job crushing it.

I'm not 100% sure off of the top of my head, but I think it was 1 3/4" x 3" with 3/16" wall thickness. I just went to the local steel supply and had a look at their cut peices, and grabbed what would work. hope this helps.

Aw man, I know that fucking feeling. Best of luck with the rebuild man!

[MrGL2]

Awsome build ! can't wait to see that thing running low

[chrisbmx68]

thanks for the info I thought it looked about like a 2x3 and the smaller pieces I assume you plug welded after inserting them into the upright portions?

Really sucks about the rebuild good luck getting it going again it will be awesome!

I want to build a cafe racer so badly it hurts. This looks great man. The whole build thread is a great read. I can't wait to see what comes out of the whole rebuild now

get working on it!

[chrisbmx68]

Thanks for the tip on the tube size, did it slightly differently than you, turned out pretty decent. Could have used a slightly thinner wall but itl do.
