Default New 2-1
Here are acouple pics and a video of my 2-1 header pipe I made. The collector was off of a night-rod which I shortened and the end went to a cone type deal so I cut it off at the biggest part. the rest of the pipes were an old set I made and since I layed the bike down last year they had flat spots, so I cut and welded them up. I used rustoleum 2000* fire proof paint and primer and followed the baking instructions and it worked well, all in all im satisfied with the sound and design and my bike actually runs better and yes I can tell a difference.

Thanks, I actual bought the seat pan and mounting brackets and just welded them to the frame. Like a hardtail mounted seat but without those ugly *** springs.
