You funny guy Kev......one bend cancels the other making it straight in theory? Kinda straight? Almost straight? Reasonably straight? Howabout bent or curved piperotfl Dats better.laff
 
Stage 2, coming right along......ready to weld and paint. Final tuning has been done and this pipe rocks!

Stay tuned...

Looking good, nice dual use of the idler bracket. But hey, wouldn't it have been easier to bend your pedal-arm instead of grinding a chunk out of your cover? :D

Thanks killer, actually the pipe does not attach to the idler bracket (but you can't see that yet), it actually attaches the the motor mounting bracket. And I may still need too bend and grind the left crank a bit....it's barely rubbing. I just like the stock cranks better than the short dog-legs that come with kits.

And that hole in the cover is a cooling duct:D

The pipe is......well let's just say it's working out killer! Me likes!dance1

You mean you had some folding chairs the exact same color.....minus one! You'ld better lock those up, I've found a good use for them:D

Actually the straight piece that looks like part of your chair is a piece of mild steel tubing that looked like straight bars with little bar-ends welded at each end....they were used in packaging to separate outdoor lounge chairs. I put them to good use, rather than trash em!

Wait till ya here this pipe....it's a thumper!
 
I'm waiting for someone to take an old A.I.R. pump off a car and turn it into a mini blower for a 4 stroke. :D
