Just cuz i am not posting photo's doesn't mean I am not working on the build... been keeping busy with more powder coating, parts cleaning and sourcing parts. Having trouble forcing myself to finish up the frame but it's sooo close I will try to have it finished before we head out on our holiday. Would be nice to begin final assembly on my return. Still a ton of little details to work out but I have been putting in time almost every day. Waiting on some key parts at the machine shop (again)

I LOVE your powder coating!! ;D ;D North

I just can't believe you can work in that garage, the dam 'stang takes up all the space! ;D I got 7 motor bikes, 2 snowmobiles and a 65 Chevy 3/4 ton truck stuffed into my place now, WTF is the matter with me. Actually isn't too crowded yet. Looking good Bake!!

You realize that powder will stick to powder, just not to paint. Sand the surface and repowdercoat.

Your right but.... from reading powder forums most pro's won't shoot on a base they didn't lay and from some of the flaws I have see on those forums I'd rather strip and outgas myself rather than having to try and strip 2 coats. Maybe the long way but definitely not the wrong way, I do appreciate your input. Besides I got it striped down to bare metal now, 1 to go.

I think these are Wirges chambers and I need to make some mounts.... am also really concerned the 180 rear tire is going to hit the pipes. Think I need to number these pic's as I need some help in this area from someone useing these same pipes. First of all do the pipes look to be in the right approx area? pic 1 pic 2 How much clearance do you have off your back tire if you are running these? In pics # you can see i ran a straight edge off where the 2 frame members meet... can you do the same and measure in to the exhaust mount? How far is the exhaust off the frame rails on both sides of your bike (pic # 3) pic3 How far off the cases are the exhausts on your bike? pic 4 Can soneone take a ton of photos of there pipes and send them to me or post them please? May have to get the center pipe reworked and my swingarm is sitting in a machine shop (both of them) getting nothing done so far..... Argh More photo's to come after I drown my sorrows a bit.... double gin and tonic please.

Decided maybe it's best to weld a couple of tabs on the frame so I can make mounts to suit my setup. The stainless steel rods supporting the pipes will get changed out to a triangle made from 1/4" plate aluminum or something I hope this is the end of the frame rough work
