New exhaust for the FT

<< < (3/6) > >>

Lefty:
J6, as you can see, she's no beauty queen!

J6G1Z:
That's a nice, tight, fitting! Looks real good! 8)

If you want to hide the fact that you can't weld the greatest while still looking like a master fabricator. Just lay down a nice tack on each end & then let your welder buddy fill in the rest. ;)

Keep up the good work. Let's see some pics of the rest of the exhaust & bike.

Thanks

I knew a mechanic that said,"grinder and paint, makes a welder what he ain't"

Lefty:
I just spoke to my buddy who has the SuperTrapp & his welder is still too busy to finish the job.
 I'm giving it another week, if he can't get to it, I'm going to get it back and finish it myself.
 At this point, the FT is my only running street legal machine and it's bee 6 weeks or better since I've ridden it.  As most of you know, I've also replaced the OE jets with the recommended ones from Mark(and J6's advice from this great forum), did the air filter burn up/ replace with sea green air filter foam. I also replaced the rear shocks(still need to get springs for the front). All this was done while waiting for the weld job, I haven't ridden it with all the stuff I've done & I am ready to ride!
 Hopefully I'll be back on the road in 2 weeks with a ride report.

J6G1Z:
That's far too long to wait for a +/-6" bead to be laid down. I'd have taken it somewhere else a long time ago. Any welding or muffler shop should be able to take care of that for a few bucks.

Good luck
J.
