Hey raylarrabee, congrats on law school! If all goes well I'll be a lawyer in a few weeks as well! (three finals and two papers though... 3rd year has sucked)

:cheers:
Here's to lawyers on motorcycles!

(And, before you others complain about lawyers, just think, lawyers who ride are at least better than lawyers who don't ride...)

Quote from: ktrimwhat would I need a restrictor for?  is there anyway to get the dimensions of the flange to make my own?  I have access to a flow jet, tubing bender and welding equipment.   Im new to the site, I have an 89 gs with only cosmetic mods,  I just bought the wileyco can yesterday.

Well make a round plate and drill it to match the bolt pattern on the can, then take muffler pipe and bend it to fit your header at the bottom maybe and blow a big hole in the round plate with a torch, and weld the plate on the pipe wiht it all held in position on the bike. That's what I was doing.
Cool.
Srinath.

what is the restrictor for?   I'm also working on making rearsets.  havent decided on material (ss -vs- alum).   trying to find some dimensions on how far back and up to move them.  I have access to a full fab shop (mig,tig,arc.  flow jet, laser, lathe etc..)  any help on dimensions for rearset,  and restrictor would be great
oops,  you'll need a new one of them

The Buddha

Restrictor is for those that dont want to rejet Immediately ... when you do re jet, remove it ... knock it off with a hammer ... Just a square or round or other shaped plate put in 45 degrees with the flow so it cuts down some ... Noisy but not more flow ... I dunno if it really works well, but its sorta better than nothing, and heck stock was bad enough ... no need to make it worse fitting a WFO can ...
Cool.

I got in the 90s on the MPRE... at first I thought I did amazingly well. Only a few hours later did I realize that it actually indicates "slightly below average." I guess that means I'm slightly less than ethical.  :thumb:

the important thing is, you're ethical enough for all 50 states and the District of Columbia!  The highest score required for admittance in all the land is an 85 (in NY).

Is it to late to get a flange?  ifI can still get one,  were do i send the money
oops,  you'll need a new one of them

The Buddha

Ktrim - Flange is still available, but closing fast ... Paypal (seshadri_srinath@hotmail.com, or check to Srinath Seshadri, 9227 swallow tail lane, Charlotte, NC 28269)
Quinnbozz - OK so you want me to make you a fence ...  :lol:  ...
And everyone - The flanges will probably be all steel ... I have SS material for like 12, and over 30 people and counting ... I'd like to have identical stuff so the shop guys can concentrate on having identical items turned out ... having 2 different materials will throw a kink in the thing ... I know I made SS before, but all were SS so we could sorta get it all close enough ...
And new thread is popping up with list ...
Cool.

I was gonna make you a FENCE Quinnboz ...
You not holding up anyhting ... But I do want to catch the entire lot, cos i am not making more ... Yea the ones that have flanges can now sell them for big bucks ... no more flanges comming ... maybe I should number them ... Under 100 total were made .. heck closer to 60 I think so really collectible, and the fact that the blood of sinners was used to flavor them ... simply precious ...
Cool.
