IMO, I wouldn't worry too much about the pipes at this point... You'll get them to fit after everything else is done... Don't be too afraid to hack a wirges pipe to make her fit... ;D

what Walms said, fit the pipes last just remember to use some muffler hanger rubber straps at the mounts to dampen vibration if they don't wiggle, they will dangle after they break ;D

Speaking of muffler hanger straps: does anyone have any pictures of what they've done in this regard?
thanks Frank

Thanks guys - aren't those metal though - I thought the advice was to use rubber? Is that rubber halfway down on Walms'? I can't tell.
I'm wondering because that's one of my H2 projects this winter (get more rubber into the hanging system of the pipes.)
thanks, Frank
(sorry Bake)!

I'm thinking a gromet in the pipes mount hole.

I'm thinking a gromet in the pipes mount hole. Yes, exactly. I used these really thick plumbing washers which are rubber and cloth all bonded together -- no problems so far.

Use a thinner strap, wrap completely around the pipe and just use one end to mount. That way it "floats" and you don't need to rubber mount.

So what pipes line up, top right and left or bottom right and left?

Top right & left align horizontally. The centre pipe sits as vertically aligned as possible below the RH pipe..like this... SoupD.

You don't want to copy my hangers, that's for sure... They were only meant as a temporary solution at best but only took 20 minutes to make...lol Actually, they work ok for keeping the stress down on the pipes but they allow the pipes to sway enough that the silicone won't stay sealed at the head pipe

So where do I get a replacment lads? I see the previous owner didn't take out the oil receiver for the transmission before splitting the cases, you'll going to need a replacement for that one. It's on the far right, (between your speedo and the gear shifter), there should be a small tube sticking out that goes into the output shaft of the transmission. Perhaps the little piece is still in the output shaft.

Progress report.....beach rash liver damage lung damage (smoking cigars with the locals) I left my frame and swinger at the welders while I was gone, he did nothing. I left my engine at the machine shop, he did nothing. I left some parts to be sand blasted at a body shop, he did nothing. I ordered my bearings (engine, wheels, swingarm), he lost the list with my phone number. Frustrating.... no wonder I drink like I do
