Mocking my own Banshee OOF pipes

[Young Guns Racing]

  you always have so much to add to whatevers going on. thanks! I will enjoy this

[camatv]

i just know how easy it is to get discouraged.  even if you destroy 3 sets of pipes  and waste whatever amount of time.  there is the satisfaction of trying.  which is more than all the haters have done.......

[Deadbeat]

if you wanna snoop around 2strokeworld.com there are a few peeps making thier own pipes for thier RD 350/400 projects (including hybrids) coz there are very limited pipe options for those bikes now. very friendly community btw

[camatv]

yeap..  google gets you a lot too you have to dig sometimes..   but also a bunch of crap..

[Deadbeat]

it sux more companies didnt/doesnt make stainless pipes like LRD

[Young Guns Racing]

I've always heard stainless is just hard to work with. Figure for the cost its probably cheaper to have raw steel chromed when finished

[Deadbeat]

stainless isnt exotic, the majority of Jim Lomas`s work is stainless, polish it up like chrome or leave it raw

they will outlast mild steel tenfold, i guess thats not really good business when it comes to quads.

[locogato11283]

I think Trinity is stainless

 

You think right.

 

For once.

Interesting, may be a few materiel trials in the future.

Gotta buddy who's going to loan me a tig welder before I buy and rolled cones are on their way! Steel versions of this attempt will be coming soon!

[Young Guns Racing]

Got my slip roller today. Just a small 12" from Woodward Fab, sweet little unit (tho ive never owned one so I cant say much). Works just as described. I rolled a few straight sections from zinc plated scrap steel and they came out nicely. I will be attempting to roll hard cones later on. I am sure this will take practice but just having this tool gives me a huge boost of confidence and I am so close to actually accomplishing this its unreal. Going to buy a tig of my own here soon so I wont have to keep borrowing.

 

Oh and the pre-rolled cones I purchased will be here friday according to fedex. So as mentioned hopefully I will have some successful pics for you to check out soon!

[Young Guns Racing]

Well I got my coned sections in today, they look pretty sweet. Anyhow, heres a loosely taped together mock up of what they will look like! Sorry my workbench is pretty damn dirty right now. Anyhow, I'm excited and will be curious to see what kinda power they will make (if any).
