Exhausts part III

Exhaust painted and fitted.

Now all this bike need is some premix gasoline and hopefully there will be some ring-ding..

The observant reader might notice that the seat is missing. I decided to replace the seat cover on this bike too. Seat base is also going to be replated, more on that later.

Other than the seat the bike is ready for start.

Exhausts part 1

These exhausts were ín tragic condition. Rusted, bent, broken, cracked, dented you name it.

I have sandblasted them and welded all the holes and cracks. When all brackets are in place I will grind down the most obvious welds and maybe sandblast them again before paint.

I had to cut out some of the worst dents and straighten the metal, then weld it back in.

New brackets

First test in order to mark were I will weld the new brackets.

Looks a bit like an old machine gun

Clearence to front fender is marginal.

I dont know how long my new seat will hold up against the heat, or my leg for that matter...
