OK we got flanges ... Before you all get over excited ... Yea only 20 or so, more being made tommorow ... and none have been choked ... I will count out and put it in tommorow ...
Also these all aren't as high as Stevemac's turnsignal burning design, and aren't as close so they clobber the brake caliper like weasel's did ... so I think all will be happy ...
Pics ... did someone say they want pics ...  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x
OK in a bit ...
Cool.

Glad the shop finally came through for you (and us).  I should be done with my new paint job by the time the flange and my carbs come in.

Any tips on how to figure out where we should cut the stock exhaust pipe off?  Don't want to end up cutting it too short.

OK I'll send you a pic ... but 2-3 inches past the weld on the bottom of the headers ... where that Y connection is ... just after it becomes 1 pipe from 2 ... 2-3 inches behind ... and sand it good ... fit it a few times and see that it fits tight but does fit ... and not bind up and stop 1/2 way ...
Cool.

oops,  you'll need a new one of them

No welding needed from a user perspective. Its a tight fit ... you need to sand the header well of all the paint and at one point it will fit tight and not jam up and bind .. then fit it on and it should be good.
Dnorwoo - I'll make the change.
Cool.

I guess I should post this here ...
Flanges are eating my head at this point ... The bike I had them fitted to had no foot peg carriers ... like an Idiot I didn't correctly guess where the foot pegs will be and might ahve some welded up wrong ... lets see ... I have a few extras made ... Hopefully I dont lose the entire 20 or so ...
Meanwhile muffler shop is still making some more ... 20 or so bent pipe pieces ... and My welder is out on a job, he was gonna be in his shop today ... but somehting came up ... so I am like screwed ...
Cool.

What do you think the S was for in GS ...  :lol: ... I didn't do nohting great ... muffler shop and my welder ... In fact I have been getting muffler shops to fit exhausts on bike for 10 years ... but I know some places have some serious problems wiht doing bike stuff ... There was a small shop in town I checked out this time cos the big place that always did it was swamped ... and that dude was a total Jerk-ass ... I'm like ... Whatever ... you have 30-35 repeat items with 2 simple bends and you tihnk its hard ... went back to the bigger place, waited and waited and waited ... and finally a few boxes of donuts later ... it was done ... Some how They could only manage like 10-12 at a time ... Laser shop rolled off 43 pieces when I asked for 35, these guys did like 41 - 42 ... and I got more ... Anyway ... tommorow ... I guess some pics or instructions should be posted too ... cos no 2 are alike ... each is a shade different ...
Cool.

Srinath, really looking forward to getting my choker flange! I have been trying to find all GS's in my area and get them on this site because of all the info and all the goodies you make for us.

You SHOULD really make some stickers with your name on them, and charge a few bucks for them. Would probably sell better than the GStwin stickers (no putdown to those, got one on my bike). I would surely buy a few for my bike.

THANKS AGAIN, BigTwin

What ... OK fine its now grudgingly been endorsed by Srinath ... along with any other weird crap you guys make up ... Sorry the nonstop 36 hours of rain has left me with no possibility of taking your stuff to the UPS place ... wihtout the boxes getting soaking wet in the back of my truck ... too much shaZam! is in the truck ... like power tools, bike parts put there 4 months ago, news paper from weirdassville TN etc ... so ... tommorow or as soon as I get a dry hour or 2 ... BTW tommorow is supposed to be sunny ... However I made the chokers for the ones that wanted, found out 2 of the flanges didn't quite point perfectly ... and also found out there are some advantages to having an old GS ... Tighter flange fit ... cos I have some flanges that are a bit shorter ... so it wont stick out as far ... so maybe people can say if theirs is old GS and I'll send out the better flange for that purpose.
Cool.
Srinath.
