2 into 1 manifold/link pipe- any intrest?

[ssray]

A friend has a small buisness that includes welding, I have asked him if he is intrested in doing some 2 into 1 mainfolds/link pipes to allow us to run any end can
This is not just because mine has a hole in it(honest)
I will attempt to get them made quite long so you can cut it to size if required, upswept pipe? possible
Cheers
Ray

depends how cheap. If they're at or under £20 then I'd buy one,

20 QUID!!! FFS someone`s gotta fabricate and weld it, do you want them to fit it for you too for your 20 quid?

[ssray]

looking at the parts in stainless, i`m not sure we can buy them for less than £20, bloke in the states charges around 150-170 dollars
last time i saw them on evilbay they were around 89-90£

I keep posting about the mini LCB Y pieces, available in mild or stainless steel, cheapest way to go all round to be honest :

www.minisport.com/mini-spare-parts/Mini_LCB_Manifold.html

You can buy a stainless `varient` on Fleecebay for about 23 quid if my aging memory serves me right, just can`t go onto their site from here.
Again from memory, I think the Ebay UK seller you want is minimine-ltd and p&p is normally free!

Your aging memory serves you right Pikey...
And here's the link I believe you refer to: -

Buy It Now £23 (Free standard delivery)
Item number: 190873099664

Bought one earlier this year. (After picking up a silencer at a car boot for £3.)
(I seem to remember the Y-Piece arrived before the cheque would've cleared.)
Still need to go skip diving at Quik Fit at some point for some adaption pieces!

[sear]

Yeah my point being you can buy one already for £20, or buy a mild steel Y piece for £10 and then a stainless link pipe swept up to 30 degrees for £12 and be sorted. Theres no point this guy making them if they're just gonna be more expensive than what already exists.

[deedee]

This is what you get for £23:-

 

I still need to get skip diving...



But, hopefully it gives the idea.

there goes me paying off the mortgage early!!!!

[sear]

What I would pay good money for on the other hand, is a left exit link pipe, that curves round in front of the rear wheel so the silencer sits on the left of the bike, so it doesn't obscure the rear wheel, i think the single sided swing arm looks gorgeous but having a bulky silencer even slightly in the way looks rubbish. Lots of hawkers on the US forum seem to do that.

[sear]

by the way Deedee, you can use these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jetex-Mandrel-Universal-Exhaust-Tubing-Bends-/370849787307?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&var=&hash=item56585eadab

as link pipes to get the upsweep angle you want

[ssray]

Deedee what size is that one? in mild they do a normal and a big bore

Nice one Dan... Many thanks for that link!
(Not only save alot of time & mucking about,
but; Comes in within my sort of budget too!)


Hi Ray,
I went standard as I wanted it in stainless: -

The inlet side is 38.7mm. (x2)
The outlet side is 45.6mm.
The overall length is 305mm.

Measurments quoted to me by; Minispares.com
The Y-Piece 'should' be to standard dimensions.
More exact than me with my dodgy glasses!

[sear]

by the way, 30 degrees of upsweep should bring you roughly to a point where you can hang the silencer from the rear bolt hole of the footrest hangers, may take a bit of jigging about though, and you may have to have someone chop some length off of the y piece potentially

[pikey]

Cheers deedee.
