    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Scrambler exhaust for an 81 750?

Is there any that are pre-made, or is that something that would require fabrication?

I'm in the process of giving my L a bit of a Dual sport/adventure touring makover, and would like to get a bit of ground clearance by switching to scrambler style exhaust.

Anyone know where I could find one?

You'll definitely need to get one made up. I got a local mob here Tranzac to make mine for the 450 and they did an awesome job. It's ceramic coated also.

When I was doing the mock up out of cardboard while thinking how I wanted it, I discovered I had to route it down the left side to make sure I had clearance for the dipstick. That would normally cause issues with the carb mounted choke lever on the left side of the carbs except I'd already made up a bracket so I could have a 'bar mounted choke lever, so that was no dramas.

The other minor issue I expect to have is the cylinders may end up slightly different in terms of mixture as I now have uneven header lengths. I haven't really started tuning yet so can't comment on how much (if any) difference that will make.

I'm thinking on a 4 cylinder it's going to be quite difficult (maybe impossible) to route all four headers neatly and efficiently to one side without compromising the clearance between the front wheel and the frame. You may want to consider doing a 2 into 1 on either side, making sure there's enough clearance for the dipstick or whatever.

Sort of like the Metisse except a 2 into 1 each side:

Not sure how much that helps but hopefully some...

And you need to let us know what you do, and I have a desperate need to see pic's if you do get one made up :D
