Nothing to forgive. Honest answers are the best ones for sure. It will be interesting at least and maybe I can come close to the 12" optimum.lol yea - defo, forgive me, I had gone and typed alla that bfore I saw you had ordered it already
I like the silencer style and by cutting the headpipe it comes with & adding yer own I think it'll work well - the 12" thing is optimum, but does little good if the pipe wont fit w/it so w/e works I figure.
The hours of "entrainment" whilst tinkerin' outa be worth the twenty bucks anyway as ya said
What are you going to do for the kickstand? Will that exhaust get in the way of a center stand or are you going to fab a rear drop stand? I was thinking about the rear drop stand for bikes which didn't come with them and thus don't have the little flared out tab to act as a stop. Why couldn't you drill a small hole there for a bolt and let the bolt act as a stop? In looking at the Elgin and the American I realized that my center stand on the American might be a problem.
