like the title says, i'll be hosting some maintenance at my house this thursday 17 july. 

please send me a PM as to what you'd like to do. 

as far as what i've got lined up so far, i'll be tying up loose ends on one of my buddy's minigp endurance bike and possibly wrapping up a bracket for red5 if it's not already finished by then. 

if you want a beer, you should feel free to bring it, as well as if you want me to work on your bike, please bring me some too  ;)

My girlfriend is returning from Spain after being gone for 2.5 weeks but I think I can convince her to go the 1/2 block over to your house to do a wee bit of maintenance on the bike.  Plus, I could use some opinions on what to do about a couple things now that I've put on a couple blingy parts...

That ship has set sail my friend. I've come to the realization that I really don't want to mess with that system. It's just TOO DAMN pretty to cut up.  [bang]

I figure if I'm going to mess with a custom exhaust I might as well make it one that's like the original idea we discussed way back when.  [thumbsup]

I think we're just about on the same page Joe. If someone would be willing to fab this exhaust outlet up for me
i would buy them a beer, maybe two. [drink] ;D



Morestrong and myself have been studying this picture for over a year and thats about as far as it gotten. :(
Someone please make my dream a reallity. I'll make it a whole six pack if you can make it where i can take it on and off with clamps.
Sometimes i'm feeling stealthy and put the Termi cans back on. [moto]

onespeedpaul

nice very nice!

it could take awhile but somehting like that could be arranged....


joe:  rob still has that slightly modified graves piece which could be veery cool if you got another to match...could look kinda like this:

everyone else:  if you need directions for tomorrow, send me a PM...

here's the graves piece:   it's had the 2 inches or so where it clamps to the OEM header cut off and bee re-welded to a another short OEM section to fit rob's racebike, but since he got a full system he's not using it anymore, and it could be cut up to work....i've got a pair of megs here at the house if you want to toy around with any ideas for them in person...

Joe, where does that wet coaster fit on your bike?  Don't drip that beer onto the pretty paint!

I'm not sure I really like it, but what about the porsche turbo exhaust tips?

HOKAY, last call for attendees/maintenance setup at my place this evening....please pm me or call if you want/need anything major done, oherwise show up around 7-ish, or really as early as you prefer, just call before you get underway....

david:  i'm thinking one of those porsche tips could look OK if it were side exit like that early-model montster streetfighter system that was only available in the UK a few years back.  if i can dig up a pic i'll post it up.
