I dunno Nick. I would ditch the carbon can and go for something more in keeping with the 'era'. Were there carbon cans when this design was about? Pre-dates my motorcycling experience I'm afraid.
Stock pipes were chrome, as were some 2-1 systems. Although I did have a black chrome Conti on my old Pantah. As I've got some carbon on it already I quite like them ;-)
yes, fair enough! It looks great whatever. I'd love to do something like this, but I've got two projects plus a resto (paint mostly) to be cracking on with.
That is superb, great effort, some chrome or powder coated conti's at a higher angle would look superb and the swing arm either powder coated or chromed perhaps, just my opinion, I can just about change a light bulb so I'm in awe at this.
You need a set of cans like the ones Senna has fitted to his paul smart copy race bike...I'll see if I can find a pic
You can get a stainless cone for about 30 to 40 quid, you'll have to find a baffle etc but still a lot cheaper than £400! When you first started this project I wasnt sure if I'd like the result, but it looks great, well apart from the wrapped headers, I hate wrapped headers.
No, the subframe is staying as it is. It took a long time mocking it up until I was happy with it ;-)
Wise move on the pipes. Looking the biz. All it needs now is that seat looking at. Bottom of back of tank looks vaguely unfinished [..runs for cover]
The seat will stay as it is for the moment, maybe in the future I'll get a gell pad seat made for it. The 'hole' in the back of the tank is big enough for a tool box/disc lock holder if I get time/can be bothered!
Looking good. I notice the crank case breather pipes missing. Are you going to fit a filter or pipe? The reason I ask is that I'm not sure what to do on my project. I was wondering if it really needs anything on there or not. Have you ridden her yet?
