  1. Would brazing work on a XX exhaust collector? Yea, I know, a mig would be better but I don't have one. There is no stress on this part. I opened it up and tacked it with a stick and brazed the rest.

  2. They can coat both the inside and outside. Race cars almost always coat the headers. They claim that hot gas moves faster than cooler gas therefor making more power. I don't think that you would have much to gain but looks.

  3. I also don't think the exhaust distributes evenly out of both cans,

    Right, if you lay under the bike and look, the one side flows pretty well while the other side makes a dead right turn. Plus, all the pipes go into one so you couldn't tell which side of the motor that was having trouble even if your were. Just ride it.

  4. Nik, I just put one of these up last year. A real pain in the butt but I don't really like doing that kind of stuff. I used a 4x4 in each post but I knew my crazy dog would be bouncing off of it.

  5. I do know that you can fill the posts of vinyl fences with concrete to give them an extremely solid structure. But then the panels still aren't that solid. I was going to do that with mine, (fill with concrete) but in the end decided there was no reason. My fence was just for privacy.

    Am I misreading you Nik? You didn't use 4x4's with the sleeve over them for the posts? You used just the sleeves?

  6. Need a key to lift the seat so you can unbolt the gas tank.
    Actually if you need to get under your seat and you don't have keys, just need a riding buddy.. I accidently locked my key under the seat about 2 weeks of getting my bird. Borrowed my buddies tools in his bird and took off the rear tail section and can do alot of amazing stuff with plastics removed..
  7. I don't see a chart for Motorcycle tires, why?

    They don't need one. The formula is simple. 1 oz for small to medium tires, 2 oz for larger tires, like the rears on Harley's, BMW's, Goldwings, etc. Motorcyle tires tend to be much more evenly balanced than car and truck tires are
