today i adjusted my valves and made lollipops for my exhaust. maxwell showed up and we adjusted his carbs up a little bit. then we took a cruise around the neighborhood
the new shocks are sooooo much better! 
:tup: bikes running great now with the new coils and some carb tweaks from your dad. :tup:
hell yea dude! i was gonna text you to see how it ran all the way home. Nick’s bike is next… that damn thing needs to get running/riding asap!
few photos from the other day
lollipops
bought the chooch’s old moto 4
quick wrap on the seat (for now haha)
Fix the pics yo!
i was!
Good…because even tho I am not at all into bikes, i really dig your color scheme and overall look
thanks!
Holy fuck the bike looks great dude, awesome work always from you nick
back from the dead. painted my headlight with krylon stained glass yellow spray paint.
i also ordered an exhaust builder kit from tc bros. meant for an xs650
so then the cutting began. cut the head pipe flange part so it bolts to the engine the same. the pipe was triple walled. nick cut the outer most layer only to sleeve the new exhaust pipes on to.
started with some 90s out of the head
then the sweep under the frame of the bike
nick gave me this half of his old exhaust from his cb550. only needed it for the coupler mostly.
s-bend to the coupler
roughly what she’ll look like
mock up of the muffler. i used a piece of 2.5" i had laying around
welded together
on to baffle making time. took some gutter mesh, rolled it up and welded two 1.5" pieces on the ends to hold it together
used a hole-saw and cut out an end piece for the baffle, then welded a nut to it to mount it inside the muffler and it can be removed if re-packing is needed.
wrapped with some fiberglass scraps from nick. held together with SS cable ties
baffle in muffler
rolled it out to the street for a quick start up. has the same kind of tone, just more quiet. much nicer
tomorrow i will grind the welds down, paint the exhaust with some heat paint and then wrap it. more pics when that is complete/ possibly a video.
after a bit of grinding, hit the pipe with some heat paint
then wrapped the exhaust, with a greyish color wrap i had. ran out, then used some black wrap slaw had kickin around
looks really sharp all finished up man
very nice
thanks dudes!
BTW, what do the lollipops for the exhaust do? I havent been here in a while and maybe I missed it
The lolli pops were in the old turn down pipes. they had no mufflers, so they were installed to create some back pressure. For this exhaust we built a baffle from scratch
i was wondering the same thing. change the tone? this is what came to mind:
ROTFL WOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO PIC
Ah ok, thanks for the info checko. I like the baffle btw :tup:
Poop cell video
thnx buddy, even tho its just a crappy cell vid, you can tell it sounds nicer than open pipes haha
