Title: No more Flanges ... Or Get 10 of your friends ....
Post by: The Buddha on March 02, 2005, 03:23:43 PM
Yea I am all out as of earlier today ... but I might get the laser people to slice up some ... and make them ... Need 10+ to get them to do it ... Might have to bump the $$ by say $5 ... but maybe not, I'll save on the blowtorching of the hole ... So maybe 45, maybe 40 ... but 10 orders needed ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Are there pictures I could see of your flange?

If I wrote that statement on any other forum, people might think I'm a bit of a sicko. :thumb:

Put me on the list. I think the wileyco will do my bike's rep good - it sounds a little like a cross between a machine gun and a kazoo right now with my drilled exhaust.

Srinath,

Would it be okay if you listed everyone that's good for your current batch of flanges. I'm getting kinda paranoid now. I'm sure a few others are, too. Thanks!

MR_PINK - Check is better, easier to tear up ... paypal will take a bit out of it, so its more expensive to return ...

Quote from: Jake DSorry.

Oh come on I was kidding ... but see the current lot is at the stage where just welding is needed ... waiting on welder to grace me with his time ...  :lol:
I have made them so far with scrap metal place round things ... drilled and what not and welding pipe bent into the right shape ... the next lot, I am making the round things themselves ... so I need a minimum number and I need to have them make it. So we have to get numbers together and get started ... cos its not like its corn about to be harvested ... we are about to plant it ...   :lol:  ... then we can buy an egg and watch it hatch and grow and it will become a hen and lay us eggs ... whihc we'll make into our corn omlette ...  Hopefully if that works, I'll mine Iron Ore and refine it and make steel ... and make it from that ... and yea I'll beat it with my bare hands into sheets and make round things ...
Cool.

So what did you guys do with the rubber bumper that is welded to the inner side of the stock exhaust?....looks like its for the center stand to rest against. Just leave it off? or does it need to go back on?
Title: Car tire ...
Post by: The Buddha on March 06, 2005, 09:42:35 PM
I have in the past said ... a chunk of car tire zip tied to the right leg of the centerstand will work just as well ... So ... just that is the solution ... Or at least easiest solution ...
Cool.

OK Paypal to seshadri_srinath@hotmail.com.
Or send Check to Srinath Seshadri, 9227 swallow tail lane, Charlotte Nc 28269. Once I get 10 its a go I may be able to make like 12 or so, no more ... Once I say the numbers ... just buy wileyco and Flanges will be there shortly.
The round things are going to be steel, not SS, the stainless deal fell apart. So its just like before. The mid is stainless as always. Price is $40 as always, and add $2 and shipping ... Depending on how far from 28269 via USPS.
Cool.

Post by: Jake D on March 22, 2005, 08:19:41 AM
There are a couple photos in the Member Bikes wall of fame, 5th page, where Srinath shows you where to cut the stock pipe.  The rest is pretty much simple.  Clean the area on the stock pipe with a sander/grinder, some WD-40.  Zip tie a piece of car tire to the right leg of the center stand.  Slip the mid-pipe on.

Quote from: vfrocketcool do you provide instructions on how to intall??

OK if I have to provide instructions to install ... OK I have madea lousy product. One look at the flange and anyone that's seen a GS knows where to cut it. Yea That chunk of car tire to centerstand to keep it off your left foot ... Tht's original. But the pipe ... not at all ... Anyway there is pics in that link I posted a few posts earlier in this thread.
Cool.

Post by: The Buddha on March 23, 2005, 10:05:53 AM
Quote from: vfrocketsorry didnt mean to upset you.

No not at all ... the flange I first made was just pages and pages of instruction ... cut the pipe into a C ... blah blah blah ... only I could make sense of it ... I then decided to make somehting that just goes on easy ... cis I realised exhaust pipes get bent a little in crashes etc ... common to be an inch+ off ... my old flange was just too close to the swingarm to accomodate that ... these ... rotate a bit this way or that and fit it ... easy ...
Cool.
Srinath.
Title: OK flanges are a go
Post by: The Buddha on March 23, 2005, 05:22:42 PM
Ok these are a go. I have numbers verbally committed. I guess now just buy a wileyco and send me your details (like address - choker etc) and $$ ...
Flange is $40 ... add shipping ($6-8)
Addess for check is Srinath seshadri, 9227 swallow tail lane, Charlotte NC 28269.
Paypal is Seshadri_srinath@hotmail.com - add $2 if paypal.
The Flanges will get started next week middle or end. till then you can add yourself to the list ... just buy wileyco before they sell out. They had like 20 at last check. I can make 20 if needed ... just dont want to make more ... cos once wiley co is sold out ... flanges are worthless ...
Cool.
Srinath.
