I am certain I forgot a few atleast ... So add yourself ...
If You're bundling stuff together ... I will send it all at once ...
I know I am  missing some - but in the next day or 2 should get all sorted out ... missing check or people that I didn't list via paypal cos of some crazy reason ... I didn't go back far enough etc ...
So put yourself on the list if you paid ... and tell me how you sent $$ and I'll find it, make one for you and send it.
Cool.
Srinath.

From where I read elsewhere, the choker is easy to get rid of with a hammer. If that is the case, put a choker on mine, that way I can just knock it out when I rejet.

no choker in mine please, but do make of steel, I am going to paint it black.

Thanks.

VFROCKET

srinny's going to be rich after this.

Somehow when I think of the cost and divide by the time he puts in on this... Rich does not come to mind.

:mrgreen:

add me to the list ,  sent money today via paypal.  no restrictor please unless thats all you have left

Quote from: snapperSomehow when I think of the cost and divide by the time he puts in on this... Rich does not come to mind.

:mrgreen:

I agree.. if I were him I'd charge 2x what he does for everything.

I'll be happy if none of these come back (OK just one had to be re made, not like the first gen bars) ...
But Getting business to my welder, and helping him out and y'all out and making a bit of money on the side ... I'll be happy ... But see where there is no $$ there is no motivation ... so I am late on stuff constantly, I wait to find deals on stuff as my original assesment of $$ depended on getting stuff at a lower $$ (bars are typical of this ... the steel place calls me when they had a price drop ... I had to buy the thing right then) ... so I am waaay off schedule on stuff and dont even bother to apologise ...  In any case, these will get started by tonight ... and get finished in 3-4 days - depending on what the muffler shop and laser place tells me ...
Ktrim - consider your self added.
Cool.
Srinath.

Sinrath,
No choker!, choker!, choker! for me. (Wink Martindale) . I rejetted with 127.5 mains and Uni in the airbox - 2 washers.

Glad to hear its underway! My drilled exhaust sounds 239 + 1 .
And most importantly, THANK YOU!!

OK muffler shop asked me to leave the one they made and said they'd have a bunch made tommorow ... by tommorow night I'd be beyond adding to it most likely ... They need someone to work on it ... they were swamped today ... Next stop - Laser ...
Cool.
Srinath.

no choker
thanks

Srinath, I sent PayPal for $104 to cover rejet, flange, shipping and PayPal charge.

Apr. 26, 2005
Payment  To:  Srinath Seshadri  
Completed Details    -$104.00 USD  

No restrictor for me, right, since you're rejetting my carbs and I'm using the K&N Pod?

Happy welding!

OK changes made, updated to what it looks like this morning ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Looks about right for me. Just a reminder, I sent $70 for flange and jets...#40 pilots and 127.5 mains. Not sure if that was on your list too  :mrgreen:

I'll bumdle and ship, dont worry, I wont miss it, many carbs, bars and jets of course have been added to the flanges ... so I'll check for sure ...
Now at 3pm the muffler guys hadn't done it ... They said they'd call me when its done, and they close at 5, and no calls ... so i guess its not done ...
So maybe 1 more day ... maybe the whole damn weekend for y'all to add to the list ...   :x
In any case ... laser cutting is the real stopping point ... I cannot get them to do 1-2 .. 25 minimum they said ...
Cool.
Srinath.

im on the list twice,  only need one

please no choker for me im jetting

Changes made.
May still be time to get onto this train ... muffler shop dudes still not done. Realistically I'd have to say Monday ... they get swamped weekends, and I cant take to laser place before monday anyway ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I was swamped today, but the muffler clowns didn't call me either ... we got no accountability in this town ... The TV guy that took my TV for repair is working on it for 18 months ... the muffler shop never does anything on time ... time might as well not exist in this place ...
Cool.
Srinath.

LOL Srinath !!! you must live in a small town...

Its cool.

Changes made ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Sent paypal tonight, no choker already jetted

any word on when these will ship? i'm getting antsy, my carbon can is coming in on thursday. (well that's if UPS doesn't make a mistake, as usual). just checking in...
-brian-

OK I'll tell you for sure ... but next week might be the earliest ...
Muffler shop said they'd do today ... whatever that's good for ...
Laser next then 1-2 days for welding ...
Cool.
Srinath.

The plate parts are at the laser shop ... They wont get to it till next week ... and he said he'd have it done by next friday ...
So I guess we shoot for next weekend welding binge ...
Cool.
Srinath.

We should make a "Sinrath" logo to put on our exhausts.

like this:
(http://img148.echo.cx/img148/4121/logo7mz.jpg)

I know someone here can do better. I don't any graphics tools on me at work.

you could spell it right with crappy paint tools though... :cheers:  :mrgreen:

oops :oops:  :oops:
Hey i said some one could do better...

(http://img136.echo.cx/img136/2418/logo3oy.jpg)

That's the equivalent of mis spelling somehting in Christmas lights ...
One Russian Co worker of mine once sent a christmas greeting to the whole company (2500 +) with "marry christmas to everyone"
Cool.
Srinath.

We could make up a logo that Includes Gstwin, Dgyver, John/annie, BobB, JamesG etc into a funky alphabet soup ... and make a decal off it ...
:cheers:  :cheers:  :cheers:  OK I am drunk ...
Cool.
Srinath.

just wanted to give a bump and see what the ETA was on the flanges.

I dunno ... laser place didn't ahve it done yet ... I couldn't find him friday, hopefully monday I'll know ... Very sorry, no one seems to care about being on time in this town.
Cool.
Srinath.

what about min....what a minute...i have one! Damn u, Bud select and Carolina Brewing Co's Spring Bock!

if anyone know srinath's paypal email, please pm it to me...thanks!

its seshadri_srinath@hotmail.com

Also does anyone know the current status of the flanges?  I have the Wileyco, jets and K&N lunch box just awaiting for it....lol

Srinath.

It's cool.  You're not a retail shop--nobody expects you to be able to mass produce these things in a week.  Hope your shop comes through!  Looking forward to getting my rejetted carbs, K&N lunchbox and wileyco up and running.  MSF this week, so I wouldn't be able to ride untill after that, anyway.

If the flanges are gonna be much longer, though, do you think you could ship my carbs back seperately?  If it's a huge pain, skip it, but if it's only a small pain, I'd really appreciate it.

On behalf of all those in need, Srinath, I thank you for providing all these services--I'm sory this one turned into such a pain for you.

No pain ... yet ... in any case I got the flat things from laser today, just the muffler shop has to get their act together but they will be good to run tommorow I think ... then we weld ... Got my guy prepped for a Mid week welding binge ... Lets hope it works.
Cool.
Srinath.

Tank will be on the way shortly along with the payment for the jetkit

OK jetswing and blazinjr - in and Vfrocket is out. BTW got the can Vfrocket. Thanks.
Cool.
Srinath.

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.
Srinath.

sweet...many thanks   :cheers:

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.
Srinath.

No Choker for me :mrgreen:

should it be welded after it is fit?

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.
Srinath.

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.
Srinath.

srinath, i needs your phone number!


a) check your pm
b) pm me your number
c) call me if you still have my number!
d) all of the above!

OK made 37 ... only destroyed 4 ... whooo hoo ... So I have a few to spare ... so order now and get instant shipping ... No chokers made yet, cos I forgot to count yesterday ... Chokers are made tomorrow night, in the meantime the non chokers are shipping tommorow ... non chokers going day after tomorrow ... yea those that want weird stuff like bars or crap will have to wait ... till I make those ... flange and OK the carbs that are done (raylarrabee, thrin etc) are getting sent tomorrow ... Ok fine I only have like 12 boxes ... more boxes coming soon ...
Cool.
Srinath.

good work  :thumb:

Now I'll have your bars, case guards and exhaust system...Can I call my bike a GS500S (for Srinath)?

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.

GS = God Srinath

pictures! pictures!

Yea I'll put some up tonight, have some real cool ones ... need instructions too I suppose ...
Cool.
Srinath.

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.

OK Racing ... yea not even close ... how about Srinath Streeting ... and yea devil should be red ... no question there ...
Cool.
Srinath.

damn picky....ok...srinath performance in red. streeting sounds dumb. coming soon: srinath performance t-shirt, hat, thong, stickers...

I have an 89 gs if thats what you mean by old?

no flange this weekend  :(

what counts as old?
i have a 98...if thats old......

I got a 91!  I think 89 is definitely considered old...I consider my 91 old!!!  I would almost say Pre 2000.  But Srinath better answer that one!   :mrgreen:

this is so much fun :lol:

(http://www.gleamers.org/gs500/sirnath.jpg)

Old is Pre 2000 ... they changed the exhaust in 2001 ... so you have to cut it at the point the larger dia ppipe comes over ... in the 89-00 type you can cut the header a shade longer ... and have the slip on fit in so that it clears everyhting but still stays closer to the front ... on the 01+ you cant ... hence the pipe had to be longer ... now I tried to make them all that longer size ... some were on the short end making it ideal as a 89-00 ...
Cool.
Srinath.

old! = 98
Yeah my sticker design is on p2 of this thread i think....
We should have a contest.

(http://www.gleamers.org/gs500/sirnath.jpg)

Is that a tail on the devil or is it just showing what a stud he is... :lol:


BTW, mine is a 99, so that must mean mine is old.

that is his thang

Quote from: Queball

Is that a tail on the devil or is it just showing what a stud he is... :lol:

That's his wang flange.

Mines a 98...

Srinath,
  I need a longer one 04 GS5000F my order name was catmdave

And you want choked right ...
Cool.
Srinath.

The srinath is so screwed ... or The srinath screwed up ... it rained and rained till like 2 hours ago so The srinath Missed the window ...
The stuff is packed and addressed ... hope I can send it off tommorow.
The Revenge of the Srinath ... you should see that movie ... I think lots of flanges and flange clones are getting made and cut with a saw etc ... ofcourse the laser cutting guys are cutting the round things with their lasers ... far better than light sabers If you ask me ... Of course I have Boba Fit - who fits them on the bike ... and Yoda is my welders 4 yr old daughter who usually is playing in the dirt  ... so pretty much better than star wars.
Cool.
Srinath.

It keeps the flange dry-----It does this when ever Its Told!!!

Is it too late to get my name on the list for a flange?

I have 7 available. Immediate shipping ... subject to box availability ... Tuesday morning at the latest ... May make a second run tommorow if I get more boxes ...
Cool.
Srinath.

OK these are the ones going tommorow ...
Snapper (well laura was the first to pay up from last year ... but this batch it was you in first ... whoo hooo)), Thirin, raylarrabee, jared, milo, queball, ry_guy, dnorwoo, cozy, random, airbrush, apbrian12 ...

Other shipping issues -
Nemesis109 - need an address ...
Carbs are going back to the ones that sent it to me ... except Kokomosam ... I will send it in a day or 2 - heavy duty crap on it ... needs extra time in the diesel vat.
Ktrim ... didn't realise you are getting flange also from me ... would be better to send carbs and flange in one box ... in a day or 2 after I fix up a set of carbs ... so send yours on ... I'll see how quick I can knock it out.
Someone wanted to have the flange first without waiting for bars ... forgot who ??? Lemme know and I'll send it out and you'd have to pay for shipping ... 2 in 1 box is prolly like $1 extra ... 2 separate will be like $8-12 more ...
If anyone has moved since they sent me the check or paypal ... send me your address pronto ... else its going to your old house. BTW Not Ry_guy - I have your address cos you updated me ...
And ... I dont want to name names ... but If you live in CA and I have said $8-12 for shipping from NC ... its not $8 ... its $12 ... so send me enough to cover me for shipping ... I cant hold your shipment up for that $2-3 ... and I will forget who paid what for what from where ...
And paypal eats $2 or 4% ... I dont want to pay that ... if you send me a check it also helps me in the UPS thing ... I write your name on the box and read out the address to the counter lady ... they print label and off it goes ... easier ... If you have to use paypal ... cover me for that $2 ... OK this is a large operation run by amateurs with the filing skills of a chimp (AKA - me) so for that its extermely smooth ... Now off to shove all this in the recently emptied truck ... where I was going like ... oh ... that's where the savage manual was ... OK ...
The rest will be getting it in my next lot to be sent off as soon as I get the boxes I need. Tuesday if not tommorow.
Cool
Srinath.

Flanges - last 5 left - after final count.
Cool.
Srinath.

wooohoooooo!
Can't wait!
:mrgreen:

Thanks bunches and bunches!!!!

OK sent that 1 set no problem ... but ... the damn place had no boxes ... ergo ... I am hunting for them ... then I send more ... tommorow I should be able to go to the UPS HQ and send out a dozen or so.
Cool.
Srinath.

looking forward to it.  Are you still plannning on putting up a little tutorial on how to install (w/pix  :thumb: )?


P.S.  I am wearing my official Srinath Moto thong as I type this  :oops:

P.S.  I am wearing my official Srinath Moto thong as I type this  :oops:

I just installed mine a yesterday and the fit of the flange was very nice i was suprised (no offense srinath), but i unbolted the entire system to gain access to the midpipe, used a cutoff wheel at the midpipe and bolted everything back together took an hour and thats on an 04f removing the fairing also.  On a naked it would be even easier

OK pics ... OK ... 1-2 days ... before you all get it.
Cool.
Srinath.

Is it possible to cut the exhaust pipe while on the bike, or is it best to remove the entire system?

Quote from: raylarrabeeP.S.  I am wearing my official Srinath Moto thong as I type this  :oops:

you liar liar...you're not man enough to wear srinath's thong!  :nono:

Quote from: BUZZINIs it possible to cut the exhaust pipe while on the bike, or is it best to remove the entire system?

Yeah, what do you guys use to cut the pipe?  I was gonna just use a sawzall with a blade for metal....

I use pipe cutters ... a bit slower and more muscle power ... but cleaner cut ... and exhaust off ... BTW isn't it time to paint the freaking thing ... looks like it is every other month ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Im sooo stoopid ... These flanges fit in the Larger 2 day and priority mail boxes ... No need to get that exclusive elusive tube crap ... They didn't fit ... but I guess the old ones were cranked up so high they had more of a angled in the wrong way ... so didn't fit ... Off to score a few 100 from Staples and out it goes USPS ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Pipe cutter?  You mean a hacksaw?  Or is that some kind of automotive tool?

pipe cutter for plumbing

Like this:

Used like this:

(http://www.asada.co.za/images/rems_pipecutter.jpg)

Yea and the trick tool I made with it ... when a cutting wheel gets blunt ... take it off and grind out to a thicker edge ... then you use it to shrink tubing ...  :lol:
Cool.
Srinath.

Srinath,
Just got it - looks good buddy!
BTW - I think it's a choker - can i hammer it off there?


(http://img45.echo.cx/img45/7083/mvc005f5mm.jpg)

OK I sent you a choker ... OK ... anyway ... put it on a hard surface ... like driveway and knock it in a shade ... then use the claw end of the hammer and open it ... 2-3 times later ... you should be claw it open nearly out like a book ... so then use pliers and wiggle it out.
BTW that was damn fast ... UPS is getting their act together ...
Cool.
Srinath.

OK I have a few left ... yea I cant count ... rather I decided we'd burn up more than what we actually did ... so buy now and get instant shipping. Wileyco's are also running out at Dennis kirk.
Cool.
Srinath.

Anybody got a picture of the C- Cut on the header?

Cozy ... that is old flange ... of whihc I swapped oput all of them from people ... the header should be cut down at the bottom ... on an 89-00 cut about 4 inches out from the weld at the bottom where headers join to 1 pipe ... and then slide on ... remember ... you can always cut more but cannot re join ... The mid pipes that say "Old" on it ... anyone that has got one of those ... has the choice of cutting the header exactly where they like to fit the mid pipe ... You first try 4-5 inches ... fit it on ... if its too far back ... start cutting closer ... make sure its not hitting stuff ... and have it as tight as you want ... A flange that says new ... or says nothinbg on it ... the flange is longer than what it needs to be ... just a shade ... so cut it where ever and put it on. On 01+ bikes ... you have to cut the larger dia pipe off completely and fit it on the smaller pipe ... so not options there ... Some pipe were just a shade shorter than ideal ... I have an 89-00 ... not a 01+ hence I had to assume and sometimes I was a little too low on the length ... so those shorter flanges are ideal for 89-00 for a tight fit.
Cool.
Srinath.

Ok i get it. Yeah i'm definitely getting a pipe cutter for this job.
Thanks Srinath!!! 8)

where's my flange...  :(

:(

:(

:(  :(  :(

Just got my flange, looks really good!  But what about that itty bit of rust?  Should I just paint the thing with some high temp paint?  Hope I can put my D&D on this weekend!!

got my package today.  Doing bar study, so I promised myself I wouldn't even open it until Sunday when I have a break to work on my bike.

Looking forward to getting back on the road with my new setup  :thumb:

I got mine too.. hopefully I will get it done tomorrow.  

Thanks man!!!

Quote from: JetSwingwhere's my flange...  :(

Its coming man ... Your podunk town has a post office ???  :lol:
Cool.
Srinath.

got mine mounted.  Fits perfectly on both ends.  The seal between the flange and the can seem very tight.  

Good job, Srinath!  :cheers:

All-in-all, the valve adjustment, re-jet, K&N lunchbox and the exhaust makes it feel like a whole new bike...too bad the mods didn't make me a better rider  :(

my town uses horse carriage to deliver mail.

hey im interested in a flange just official that i can pick up my gs in the bay today, wanting to mod it as fast as i can, are there any more available or am i out of luck : (

what do you do about the centerstand once you install the flange?

I had no problems with the centerstand after installation.

Quote from: raylarrabeeI had no problems with the centerstand after installation.

does the centerstand touch the flange after installation?

Mine pops up darn close to the chain.. so I am looking forward to seeing some things that folks have done.  I only noticed because I hit it with my left foot on the peg!  I would like to be able to do something to keep ot a tad lower like where it had been.
:mrgreen:

Quote from: JetSwingdoes the centerstand touch the flange after installation?

Mine does not, but I think there is some variance in the flanges (and where people cut their headers) so I suppose it is possible that one could.

Here is a quote from another thread that explains what to do about the center stand

Quote from: Jake DThere 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.

I want one  :P

I'd like one if the holes will line up with those of a GSXR can.

No choker for me pleez i am rejetting !
thanx!

Quote from: Absolute RescueI'd like one if the holes will line up with those of a GSXR can.

What you mean line up with GSXR can ... a 96-99 GSXR wileyco is what was used to make these ... so they do fit to that ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Alright cool. I didn't know that is what they were designed off of. Thanks

still waiting for my flange  :(

Quote from: rclzstill waiting for my flange  :(

So am I ... well the bars are the delay. This Week I should have them back.
Cool.
Srinath.

thanks srinny

Srinath,

Any updates on me? I got my winning can yesterday...Dang does it flow better than the stock and I still can't find the "scratch & dent" part :dunno:  :dunno:  :dunno:

OK believe I got your check yesterday ... right ... something or other From maryland ... Cant tell from your handle ... But if its your ... I'll send it in a day or 2.
Cool.
Srinath.

:( My flange is lost in the mail...... :dunno:


I might mount my wileyco on my mountain bike to see if it runs anybetter.  :thumb:

Srinath - how about mine? Is it on it's way yet?  :)

The post office ... lemme go doen there and see ...
Cool.
srinath.

OK I sent to Blazinjr and to Phaedrus on the 4th of july. Blazinjr was priority mail ... supposed to reach by the 7-8th, Phaedrus was parcel post ... may not be too late on that just yet ... I also sent 2 more to GA, one by parcel post to zip 30024 and one to zip 31088 by priority mail ... I know for sure the one to 30024 got there ... cos I heard from him about it. So if you live in zip 31088 and have a flange ordered ... confirm if you got it or not ...
Now this is all significant because ... the freaking post office automated machine printed out labels that were 1/2 blank ... the very next working day I called them and faxed over a copy of the receipt that I had ... so I wanted them to find my stuff and send it to the address on the box ... They cannot have done it to 1 or 2 of the 4 and left the other 2 or 3 ... I will go down to the post office and kick some ass ... I just need to know who's got it and who's not ...
Cool.

Quote from: Jace009gs...I still can't find the "scratch & dent" part :dunno:  :dunno:  :dunno:

I didn't see any "scratch and dent" on mine either..I inspected it pretty close and was like "mmmkay...if they say so".

If you sent it out the 4th, it probably didnt get picked up till the 5th due to holiday..I would assume it should be here or coming right along SOON!  :mrgreen:

Still not here.  I will check in the morning though.

I just keep looking at the callender and I'm like crap....T-XX days to Carlisle and I go out into the garage and just at the box of parts...then come back in and pull up www.ups.com.....Lucky me My frame came back in yesterday and I got to un-pack the bubble tape.....It's nice 8)  hopefully get the front end, motor, electrical, brakes, carbs back on it tomorrow. Then atleast I'll feel alot better.

btw do you have aim phadrus? Want to get a hold of you about Carlisle

I hope so ... the damn labels were 1/2 blank ... I shouldn't have sent it ... but hey I thought I can call and afx over stuff to the post office and it will get sent ... I hope It did ... however I cannot explain the Blazinjr problem. Time to go postal ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I just got back from the post office and no flange, again.   Our mail comes in once a day and is in our box by 9am.  

I talked to our Post office lady and she said even though it was a holiday if it went out Priority Mail on the 5th then I should have got it by no later than Monday the 11th.

OK the postal morons said they have put a stamp on it saying postage paid ... and so the items should go ... Priority or not ??? No idea ... In either case it should have got there well before now ... I dunno, If you dont get it and I have to send your bars out, I'll add this in as well ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Quote from: seshadri_srinathSo if you live in zip 31088 and have a flange ordered ... confirm if you got it or not ...Srinath.

Nope. I sent it to my parents (because the guys at my apartment are complete morons when it comes to packages) but they said no package as of today.

Great I think in 3 months the damn thing will get sent back to me ... The morons ...
Cool.

Top 10 uses for a wileyco can without a flange

10. You can use it as a makeshift megaphone / blowhorn

09. It is a great place to hide your candybar / weed / porn stash

06. Stuff it down the front of your pants and say "Hello Ladies.." whenever you walk into a room.

05. Give it to your boss and tell him it is a West Coast Chopper paperweight.

04. Fill it with gunpowder and drop it into the firepit on your camping trip

03. Get a backyard "Wileycoball" team together. Use the same rules as American football.

02. Throw the pipe away; we got the IMPORTANT parts already: they hat, sticker, t-shirt, and keychain.

21. Get a 1ft chain and bolt the can to it for a biling bling necklace like Nelly's
22. a makeshift arm splint for those nasty high speed low sides
23. put two hands over the ends and it works great to mix up those drinks
24. Hang it up in the bathroom for a mirror

26. use it as a back roller after those stressful days at the office
27. put it on the corner of the desk as a pencil/pen/marker holder
28. great addition to the trophy wall
29. Stick the ionic breeze air purifier inside for futher air purification

Handle bars and the flange go out yet srinath?

Quote from: rclzHandle bars and the flange go out yet srinath?

I would probably say not yet.  I ordered and paid for mine on 5-21.  He did say next week though. :dunno:

Sorry guys ... yea Blazin is right ... and They are at powdercoaters ... I was supposed to pick it up Fri, but I couldn't ... I get them monday and send right after ...
Cool.
Srinath.

What, "No Flange today either  :dunno: " ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Nope.  No flange today.  Did you pick up the bars from the powder coater today?

In a bit... More like in 2 hours ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I have only been waiting since July 2nd, which has been what 9 business days? I am not getting too antsy quite yet. I've given up all hope of having it before I go to the Carlisle Summer Bike Fest, though.  :x I am hoping to see it within the next couple of weeks so I can have it atleast THIS RIDING REASON. Up here in New York, we don't get to ride year round like the south. Mostly April-November, and then the snow starts to fly and stick. I honestly hope I get it by sometime by the end of August at the latest. If not by then, then thats just plain rediculous  :roll:

I'm trying to hold in there fairly patient for now, though!  :thumb:

Did the bars get done Yesterday?

Quote from: BlazinjrDid the bars get done Yesterday?

This is one of the reasons I hate making stuff and selling ... I cant charge the price I am charging if I dont presell 75%+ ... it will be 1000's of dollars I'd have tied up ... cant afford that ... now pre selling has this as the draw back ... Every 2 seconds someone wants a freaking update ...  :x  ... FWIW ... its in my truck at the present time, and will most likely sit there till I get out of work and get back to packing them ... Yours in effect has not been packed yet ... and the reason its not been packed is that I haven't looked at that old list where you wanted choker or non choker ... BTW ... everyone that has a flange or a bar ... send me update choker or not, new gs or old, and 2 weld or 4 weld (01+ GS or 90-00 will cover that). I may not have enough chokers to go out today ... will get them choked and sent out in a day or 2 ... if that's the case. Might expedite the packing ... instead of me getting back home and searching for the old lists ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I have an 05 GS500F and am new to modifing bikes.  Could  someone tell the difference between choked and non-choked flanges?  And what model number Wileyco pipe everyone is useing?  Last thing Srinath do you have any more flanges for sale?  I guess that should have been the fist question.
BTW Great forum have been having a blast reading all the post here.
Thanks in advance

I'll send out this lot and see what is left ... I do believe I have these guys covered ... Just dont want to over commit ...
Cool.
Srinath.

choked, and bars for an 04 gs500f.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm pestering you but I wanted the flange so I could put the exhaust on.  I would have waited for the bars.  

Did the flange you send out to me ever get returned back to you?

No return on flange ... 3 of the damn things are awol ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I don't see anything wrong with pre-selling srinath, you do a good service for the GS community and no one (I don't think) is trying to give you hell.  :thumb:  But if it were me, and I was doing what you do, I'd be like "Ok, eveyone place your orders and pay now, and I will have them by "X" date". Ya know? I have no problem with waiting personally, I just like to know when it is that I am waiting for so I know when to expect it. That sort of thing.

BTW - Choked for later model GS (2004 GS500F).

Yup ... X date was back in May as someone pointed out ... That X is moving always ... and its never moving backwards ... I have 1000 BS crap to deal with ... Steel is there, OK I start collecting orders ... and when I come up with $$ and decide to buy steel for making so many ... they're like Huh.... we have 20 feet ... we need a week to get the 100 you need ... OK great ... then my welder has to fix someone's leaky roof or someone's Dune buggy ... cos he was ready the week before. Nowadays I dont even set a time with him before the stuff is bought and I have final count ... cos I know I'll never make it ... and I dont wanna disrupt his shop ... then he's busy with new baby or wife who was pregnant or someone's big ass plow or holding tank ... Then finally I get him to make it, then powder shop ... finally it comes back and I work on shipping ... Its an engineering operation ... nothing ever goes on time ... I have thought about improving it myself ... and the final result ... nope ... My wife has tried, so has my welder ... His own life is a mess ... I have Danny's frame on his table and he's welding it ... I wanted to get that by sunday ... its tuesday and we're no where near done ... and the powder guy has no schedule for the color so we're not that bad there ... I get it in the next 2-3 days and we'll be good ... The end result is ... if its going forward I am happy ... No real targets etc ... I have a list and try to get the things done as per that ... Making it worse is the fact that I dont know what my work day is going to turn into ... maybe chained to the desk, may be on the phone, may be on the road ... no clue ... Anyone who has made stuff knows and counts all these in ... The large category of "shaZam! Happens" ... So shaZam! getting lost in the mail is just one more of those pleasures of making stuff ... But that was stupid of me ... blank labels ... dont ship ... WTF ... they Post office loses stuff with labels printed ... why wont they lose it if the labels were 1/2 blank ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I used to make and modify parts on another forum.  

Diamond plate racing pedals, Diamond plate brakets, braces and covers, custom exhaust, and the occasional ported intake manifold.  So I sort of know what you are going through.  

So you are the designer at the mercy of the workers?  I had one friend to try and help me and he fudged an exhaust job for me.  Then he said he would help and did not show up for a couple days.

If I was you I would invest in a 110 mig welder and learn to use it.  Removing the cost of paying someone to weld will bring you more $profit$.   Only if you plan on keep making these.

I have access to a hydraulic exhaust pipe bender, I think he only paid around $100 for it and it does up to 2 inch pipe(I paid extra for the peice to do 2.25)  I bought it and the welder and started to install custom exhaust on the side.

I quit doing a lot of it because I got switched over to a 7 day swing shift and didn't have as much time for the extra work.

I aint welding ... not with baby in the house ... and we have a hand pipe bender ... I am not mkaing most of these much for a while ...

Are you packing in a cave? :)

Hey if you have any flanges w/ choker for an 04F I would be interested in one. I don't have my can and might not for a while, so as long as theres going to be no fitment problems I would store it for a bit.
I posted on another thread and figured I would do it here also.

Cool.
Srinath.

I thought you were sending it out through the USPS.  

The box for the both too big to send USPS?

What about mine?  :dunno:

Its all going in 10-20 mins ... I took off from work ... yea in pain but ignoring it ... except for random screams of agony ... anyway ... UPS is now my choice ... Tracking and insurance is included ... Might as well ... they are more $$ and they treat the packages a bit worse than USPS ... but these are fine ... canada - USPS ...
Cool.

srinath,

if u have any more flanges for a 04 GS with a choker then i would like one.

Thanks,

So do you need more money to cover the extra shipping costs or..?  :dunno:

OK its all sent ... no shipping $$ ... I shouldn't have sent it with USPS if labels were 1/2 blank ... heck with full labels they lose stuff ... 1/2 label ... hell yea ... OK if it shows up just hold it and I'll sell it out from you ...
Yea I didn't make today's pickup for UPS ... the guy picked up at 3:30 ... not 6 as usual ... new schedule they said ...  :dunno:  ... but its all with staples now ...
Cool.
Srinath.

does anyone know where i can find a cheap aftermarket can for my  04 GS500 to work with srinath's flange. if so please tell me.


Thanks,

Jeremiah

I think the Ebay->Wileyco has already been mentioned  :dunno: 70-100 bucks.

i want a flange  :(

OK I have flanges ... there is a small caveat ...
There is 5 total ...
1 for new GS - choked.
2 for old GS choked.
2 for old GS and needs re-riveting of the end cap (these were supposed to be mine but I sold the 2 wiley co's in a moment of broke-ness) ... so nothing has been made to fit them ... but they are real high exit ones ... burn your Turn signal high ... and they are non choked.
In a pinch You can fit a Old GS one on a new GS ... may have to take it to a muffler shop and spread the free end an 8th of inch ...
New GS flange will fit old GS as is ...
I would like to make sure UPS/USPS hasn't lost the flanges I sent out earlier this week ... and then these are available ... sorry for that ... but UPS/USPS insurance can only pay $$ these are sorta irreplaceable ... so I wanna take care of that little issue first.
Cool.
Srinath.

i would like the flange for the new GS that is choked.. srinath you have a PM  :)

Do you have a tracking # for me?

Lol just my luck you only have 1 flange for an 05 and it's already taken.  If you happen to come accross another one please let me know.

Come across ... What ... You know I make them right ... OK used to make ... In a pinch an old flange can be fitted on a new GS ... just spread the end to the right size ... or try sliding it inside your header ... but that way you'd need a tighter fit ... else it will leak ... heck weld it on ... muffler shops can do that for like next to nothing ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Hey, I got my flange today...w00t w00t! Thanks Srinath. Now I just gotta get it put on there and I'll be good to go  8)

When/if the other one (?) arrives, I'll let you know so you can find a proper home for it!  :thumb:

Srinath,

Got my flange today as well. The one re-sent to 31088. Thanks!

OK great ... 6-7 more and I'll be glad to plop the 5 I have back into the GS pool ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Hey Srinath, are you feeling any better? (hopefully)

Nope ... but OK I am stressing and at work ... and I am in just about as much pain as I was in on Saturday ... when I was lying in bed ...
Alkyhol works great to lighten up the pain ... the damn celebrex and sheite does nothing ... wish I can be a little drunk right now ... anyway ... by weekend if it doesn't clear up I am running back to doc ... and getting better drugs ...  :lol:
Cool.
Srinath.

Well I got my flange and bars today.  

Wasn't I supposed to get the 4 weld bars for an 04 F model?

Quote from: BlazinjrWell I got my flange and bars today.  

Wasn't I supposed to get the 4 weld bars for an 04 F model?

Ha ha ... yea and the answer is you do ... but the new 4 weld bar only has 2 welds ...  :lol:  ... I bent the inside in tighter ... and hence 2 welds are = 4 ... Install it and see ... the damn thing was more trouble than it was worth ... but from a user's point of view its a better product ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Wow I got my flange today too 8)

Upon inspection I got a choker. I think...not really sure but it has the tip blocking flow welded on to where the mounting bolts go. Not a big deal I'll drill a series of small holes in it and hit it a few time with a hammer then file it smooth. Should be good to go :thumb:

How many exhaust gaskets is recomended? I don't think my one that came with the pipe is thick enough to get a reall good seal.... :dunno:

Only question I have floating around in my mind is should I taper the flange opening to fit over the exhaust header?

Yea you can break off the choker ...
Also what you mean taper the end to fit yout header ??? its made to fit a header already ... no tapering needed ...
Cool.
Srinath.

I had to modify/sand/grind the bars to get them to work.  

You might want to go back the old 4 weld style.  Where you put the tighter bends it actually put the bend into the clamps a little bit + too thick of powder coating.

The flange worked out pretty good though.  It's a lot higher exit than stock and I love it.

Yea ... I should quit making them ...  :lol:  ... I have ...
The 10 or so I made ... I lost like 6 ... the lighter bend in the 2 welds was great, but steel started behaving more and more inconsistently with the tighter bend, the tubing was collapsing, it was spreading in the perpendicular direction ... and of course the bounce back was un predictable and in consistent as well ... which was the worst ... But In all I liked the new ones better ... But if I am doing more I'll go to the old style ... easier to make, and easier to jig up as well ... Sanding the powder ... yes that's inevitable ... maybe I can mask off the parts where switches go ... but if you sand it usually you can leave a small layer of coating on it and it protects it too ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Come on Srinath, if you totally stop making this stuff who is going to help the GS community ?  :cheers:

OK well ... My welder has a 3 week old baby, my wife and son are due back in 3 weeks after 8 months in India ... Time to take a break. I will get back to it in a bit ... when he wants to and is capable of getting to my work, and the wife and baby want me to leave them alone ...  :lol:  ... for now I am on Hiatus ... Pending the current list of shipments.
Cool.
Srinath.

Srinath - I got the other flange (the UPS one) yesterday. It should be the newer GS, choked version. Want me to send it back to you, send it to someone else, or what? It's here though, safe and un-opened. (The other one that come USPS is here safe and that will be going on my bike..hehe).  :cheers:

But if the old ... lost in freight stuff starts arriving ... there will be 3 extra ... all 3 new ... So should be good to cover everyone that's asked for one ...

Phaedrus has 1 ...
LazyD's is going to 04 - prior lot hold over ... so no complaints ...
Then I have 2 old chokers normal exit.
And 2 old un choked with super high exit that need re riveting the end caps on the wileyco ... they are crooked ...
They are $40 and shipping ($8-12). Paypal $2 if applicable.
I can take like dibs and you mail out check immediately, or I'll post paypal here and you can pay that way ...
Seshadri_srinath@hotmail.com is paypal.
Check to srinath seshadri, 9227 swallow tail lane, Charlotte NC 28269.
Call dibs, I'll confirm and then pay, I'd rather not sort through piles of stuff and send your check back ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Have the bars and the flange been sent out yet srinny?

Yours went last tuesday.
Should be there shortly. How is the customs wait ...
Cool.
Srinath.

i'd like to order that one new choked, if it's still available i will send paypal immediately  :mrgreen:

Srinath - FYI, the new+choked extra one I have in my living room is still sitting there and the only person that has contacted me about it was Ginoe. :thumb:

OK I am waiting for a paypal from someone. But fine ... ginoe send me $$ and Phaedrus will send flange. I'll cover ya for shipping to him Phaedrus ... That work ??
Cool.
Srinath.

OK yea Ginoe - Phaedrus yea work somehting out and send me $$ ...  :lol:
Now Oddly That dude that sent me $$ is in GA, right by where the other flange is with Lazy Destroyer. You 2 are in NY, those 2 are in GA ... odd ... Lemme coordinate these so everyone knows what is going where ... Maybe GA to GS, NY to NY and I'll send to 04 ... Yea why get creative.
Cool.
Srinath.
Taking stock - Now I have 2 old flanges and 2 high exit old flanges left ... Old to new ... I can mod if someone needs ... Or you can mod it just as well ...
High exits need end caps re riveted.

okay, coolbeans  :thumb:

seshadri_srinath - i can send paypal ASAP - how much?

richie rich - i'll take a ride up to your neck of the woods one of these days to pick up the flange, let me know when it's good for you.

wait wait... I got my flange a month or so ago and haven't installed it yet, but am planning to this weekend. What's this new & old stuff? Are they different across model years? Is it the standard '89-'00 vs. '01-'05 split? Did I get the right one?

How could I tell?

OK ginoe - Your total will be $42 since no shipping costs ... yea I wish everyone could pick up ... I'll set up a lemonade style stand and be done in 20 mins ... Instead it now takes 3 hours to send out 10 ... yikes.
Milo - You got it from jetswing didn't ya ... OK the old type (offset flanges) dont have old or new ... anything on any year bike ... new ones only where some were sliced too short ironically on jetswing's 95 ... when it had no foot pegs and brake lever ... so I had to have older GS'es cut their header pipes an inch or so longer and fit the flange a inch further back ... new GS'es have headers that get larger dia 2 inches from the weld on the bottom ... so no option there, the new flange had to have that extra inch length cos you cant move the slip fit any where. So you're fine milo ...
Cool.
Srinath.

sweet  :thumb:

paypal sent $42 usd

Well I got my bars and my flange.  

I cut my exhaust and put her back together.   Ummmm....   It fit fine and everything.  A little of a high mount though, but it looks a heck of a lot better that way. :thumb:

Well you think it will torch your turn signals If so ... yea that's high ... else ... its medium ...  :lol:  ... Trust me ... this lot was medium ... I got peoples suggestions and tried to not make the high kind ... Cos it seemed to not follow the tail section lines etc and in some cases made it look like it wasn't meant to fit ... now of course the 89-00 bikes and the 01+'s ahve entirely different tail section lines and no way will they take the same aesthetic in these ... but I tried not to do super high ... it looked wrong on both ... BTW in pics was worse than in person I believe ... You dont see the 3d aspect in a pic.
Cool.
Srinath.

Ginoe - Cool  8)  When do you want to pick it up? I can even meet you part way if you would like. I am zip code 13815. Are you going to come on bike? We could meet up somewhere toward the middle if you would like. Is Deposit about half way? I've been through Rockland county area on my way to the Island, but never went there just to go there.

:cheers:

pm'ed ya

The package customs on the way into Canada is brutal, they will be checking inside the handlebars for cocaine for sure.
