Are the bars in the making too? 

As soon as I buy the damn steel it will be ...
In any case I am hoping I can bend and make 1 type that will work on 90-07 ... a 2 bend bar with the 4 bend configuration ... Very very similar to the SM's ...
Cool.

Personally I use some of the razor sharp wit in this thread. No muss, no fuss.

That's a joke son, you missed it. Look kid if you're just gonna sit there and drool, close your mouth because it's getting slippery in here.

The ones who sent checks I will add in from home tonight.
In any case I believe I have a few more rattling around ... Prolly coser to 7-8 ... grr ... but hey I ask for 20 and get 27 round things ...  ...
Pics comming but most likely I will send 01+ specials and 89-00 specials ... for now, we start crossing over and that when it gets sticky ...
Cool.

[The Buddha]

Fixed ... but 01+ is same as 04 ...
Cool.

Flanges should be getting sent out starting tonight.
The 01+ bikes are a slightly different flange from the 89-00's. For now I will send the right ones out depending on your model. But I am rapidly running out ...
However if your exhaust is a bit off ... and trust me they have been off plenty ... you may have to wrestle extra with stuff ... or maybe have them welded up in position where they slide on.
Now you'd probably need one or more of these as well in addition to getting a weld ...
Muffler clamp.
Muffler tape.
Hose clamp
A file or grinding tool - I should warn y'all at this point ... these pipes haven't been deburred or anything. Call it inflation ... I got it done in spite of my welder threats to raise his rates ... and the muffler shop already charged me more ... inspite of that I managed the same $40 ... might be the last time I manage it ... but lets see I may not make more ... anyway ... there is plenty of sharp edges on these ... dont tear your hands ... hand sand it if you want smooth, or file it or whatever ...
A cutting tool, a dremel is fine, you may have to cut a length wise slit where it slips on, so you can clamp it tight.
Other than that, it should fit in with no incident. You start thinking its going to come loose or something ... I'd say get the header pipe and the flange welded. I know some people did that from the last batch (to keep it from getting stolen too  ... )
Cool.
Srinath.

can you post or email those who you have shipped to? would be nice to know when it's coming =]

[The Buddha]

Tommorow afternoon ... everyone that has paid so far will get it sent out.
I been busy packing and scratching ...
Cool.
Srinath.

[The Buddha]

OK none of the boxes I got fitted ... finally had to wrestle with 3 different Staples stores and snag enough Triangle boxes, only to have UPS not like the fact that they were not express mail.
Its a express tube but in the past I been scratching over the express part and sending it ... but guess they smarted up to my tricks ... not a problem, I run to another store and over 2 days get enough boxes, and get these turned inside out and have them repacked up ... finally ...
They get sent UPS tommorow evening, unless its canada, Then its prolly day after by USPS.
Cool.

Forget these flanges... I want you to bring back those sick a$# bars. Thas What i want a set of....... 

[The Buddha]

Baby ... you aint seen nothin yet ...
I am on those bars ... guess what ... senter part is going to be laser cut ... flattish but have curled up edges ... that bolts on the 4 bolts that hold the bars to the triple ... the bars themselves go from those ...
Main advantage - for me ... ease of manufacturing, since my welder is threatening to correct his $$ ... inflation and what not ... and I have been losing more due to defects ... and for y'all ... its gonna be much much better looking as well as give you the option of having it upside down ... as in 1+ inch lower than flat ... or 1 inch higher...
The problem is ... angle adjusting is a bit harder ... may have to use spacers or something ...
The flanges are going tommorow. Then we get on the bars. Then case guards ...
Cool.
Srinath.

[Dwn4whadever]

YOU ARE MY HERO. Thank you....  . All this work man do you ever get a chance to go riding?

[The Buddha]

That's not the 1/2 of it ... I commute, never have I just done a ride ... OK in the last 10 years. Always somewhere to go or talk to this guy or that ... I commute everyday on bikes.
I wish the rest of my time was put to decent use like making flanges ... 1/2 of it is wasted in chasing down one dead end after another ... on a lot of things.
I ended up waiting for the welder, and the laser shop and the boxes etc ... insane.
Hopefully bars will be better.
Cool.

thanks man.

[average]

Psst.....bracket..... 

[samhkang]

what? you forgot mine? 
well, I will be waiting very patiently while chweing on my nails....

[The Buddha]

I know, I am so sorry ...
I wrote all the addresses and you had a check, the rest all were paypal ... usually its closer to 50-50 ... so I wrote it all and just ran out ...
Hey, if its any consolation ... I am not giving them their tracking numbers ... let them sweat it out ... and even when it comes ... how do they know its a flange ... and then, how do they know its for their GS ... Ha ha suckers ...      ...
Anyway ...
I better post some advice or we'd have all sorts of trouble with people cutting their flanges instead of the pipe or cutting it length wise ... whatever ...
Cool.
Srinath.
