It's just stainless, you should be able to find a local fab shop to tig it...even a place that does large truck exhaust systems

I wouldn't tack it,
Cut it, adjust to bike, then either cross line with a sharpie or bring bike and pipe to a welding shop with a TIG

I agree with Curtis, plus not to state the obvious but make sure your cut is prefect...tig welding is very precise, make sure there's no gaps to fill in

Well, Jim's no 'pipe king'... but he's a "Pipewelder"!  He's got 'mad skillz' as a welder/fabricator. He could handle your task. Good luck getting him to carve you out some time though. He has a LOT on his plate.  It's worth a PM though.  |
