    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Looks like it would fit in front of the bend if you wanted to use it. Looks like it was in good shape.
 
Lecroy, the rearsets put the peg right through the middle of that pipe. It was also pretty "fat" to sit on the bike with that pipe when I had stock pegs. I wanted to be able to have my legs tight to the bike. Plus it got really hot too... That pipe was in great shape and I sold it to pay for other parts. The new pipe hugs the bike a lot better and is wrapped to keep the heat off me.
 
That's too bad it would not work. I like the looks of it. Sounds like it wasn't a total loss.
 
I heard that a lot when I told my friends I wasn't using that stock pipe. They all asked where I was going to find a similar one, and I just said "I'll make one". It's lighter, my leg doesn't sit over it, no difference in noise, and it would have been a crime to warp that nice chrome pipe (I wanted the pipe wrapped to keep the heat off my leg). Plus I have plans to cut the rear exhaust hanger off yet...
 
The first pipe I made for my bike burnt the back side of my leg after melting my laces and zipper. I figured I had more than enough clearance, but I guess not.
Leather boots stayed together or it would have been worse. Amazed at how little pain you feel with a little adrenaline rush going on. This was my attempt without the fancy heat shield.....

What's nice about this pipe is Terry sells the parts. You just cut them up, arrange them the way you want them, weld them and in my case ceramic coat them. The heat shield I am using actually came from a Mr. Turbo pipe that looks like the one your picture.
