How does the bike run with that flex exhaust tubing?

 

[M&M REBEL BIKES]

The performance is good with the flexline. No difference to the stock pipe. I think I'm going to upgrade to a bigger muffler or Fab up some tip for it. I'm a plumber trying to keep a plumber theme to it. I'm considering using a plumbing type gas fitting manifold for the muffler. Just trying to knock some weight off of it first. The flexline is made of Gastite brand gaspipe.

hows it ride ? looks great .I got a lil idea to keep in the plumber theme copper line caps if you can get them small enough to be glued over your valve caps or even thread up a pair would make a neat lil detail .

The bike rides really nice. It's not a long rider due to the small gas tank (13oz), but lots of fun. I will be running 3/8 rolled copper lines as conduit for wiring the lights, which is my next install on this bike. Still working on some light fixtures. Was thinking of running a copper line for the gas feed to the carb, but I'm pretty sure the gas will eat through 3/8 copper line fairly quick. I might run it as a sleeve over the gas line. Thanks, Rebel

braided stainless steel fuel line summit racing a small peice will be cheap , an I saw a thread here once wherea guy build lights out of large diam copper pipe an pipe caps , they looked beautiful .

Welcome, no worries about copper gas line, lol. don't forget the pigtail(loop) so its not a solid non-flexible line, eh.

Have bigger pics? those are tiny! :O

 

[M&M REBEL BIKES]

Yea I'm going to run a coil in the copper line for flex. I try to download pics, but they want me to downsize them. There are more pics in the Stretched cruiser forum under custom stretched Schwinn.

right on, love the forks and the tank, for sure!

one of Kips lay-back posts would be icing on the cake, eh?

 

[M&M REBEL BIKES]

Lay back post wont work on this bike. It will put me on the back tire. They are cool.

That's a great idea about the headlight. Man why didn't i think of that. I have 3"copper pipe and copper hard cap that would work perfect. Thanks, Rebel

very cool bike love the exhaust and fuel tank although a lil small ,still very cool,nice build love to see more pics.

 

[robbomberbomyea]

just after thought how about two tanks side by side.

 

[M&M REBEL BIKES]

yea, I'm only getting about 20 miles on the little tank. Which really works for me. I just use it at events and shows, it's not my rider. It really ride nice. The two tank idea is a good one. I thought about doing a oxy/ace mini tanks with regs on them for my brothers bike. I went with this tank to keep it inline with the frame. when the bike is coming at you you cant really tell if it's got a motor on it or not. More streamline for me. Thanks for the props!
