Well for the last few weeks I have been building a bike kit that I bought on eBay. You can check it out in the thread called My first build. Cheap and efficient!
So, I have ran into a sort of problem concerning the exhaust pipe. It stuck out to far and the left pedal does not clear. So I thought: No problem. I'll just set the pipe over the hole in a cement block and give it a few taps with the hammer. That should bow the middle of the pipe out so it can go around the side of the frame and back under, out of the way of the pedal, right? Needless to say, the pipe didn't bend as much as it dented.
So, now I am left to ask for suggestions as to what will make a good pipe that I can curl under the frame and out of the way. FYI: I don't have a welder or torch. And I would like to keep this as cost effective as possible. I still have the pipe. So, I can use the "header" part to attach to the engine still, but what are some things that I can connect to the header without welding? Flex pipe? threaded steel plumbing? You get the idea.
I await your suggestions.
