It’s been a long time on this one but the project is back on the go.
After 5 years of other issues including building a work shop this bike is back on the bench. A big thanks goes out to Walms for working out a custom pipe design that is ready to assemble and we’re moving ahead.
I hope to post some pictures soon. J.

Been out of the loop for quite some time Jim, but wow man this project is something wonderful. Custom fabricating is a tough road if you don`t have the skills, but you`re definitely killing it. Unfortunately my bike days are over, suffered a heart attack back in Aug 2020, and was advised to stop riding, as any major adrenaline surge would not be in my best interest. So sadly I`ve let all my bikes go to new homes, and most recently with lots of tear, I broke ties with my Guzzi.... Hope to see this bike in person some day, Cheers

Hey Perry. Thanks for the compliments. So sorry about the the health problems. We never know what tomorrow holds for us.
As a word of encouragement I just spent today at Mosport with a very good friend who had a major attack. He was in bad shape but nevertheless kept working on his recovery and re gained his racing license and his living large.
All the best to ya Perry. I’ll try to get to visit ya. Lots of great times we had. Jim

Wow, sorry to hear this Perry, but glad you are here to talk to us about it though. I guess it's full steam on making drums now?

Here's an update on the fabrication of the H2r pipes. Walms had to do about four total re designs on these before we got things sorted. The first set had 120mm bellys to try to obtain the best performance. I cut the pipes out of paper to check fitment and we had problems. We moved on to 90mm bellys and did many fitment adjustmens along the way. Walms 3D work is outstanding and having that combined with the performance tuning software allows for a great finished result.
