Another Custom Exhaust

This time a customer came to us with a beast of a Kawasaki KX 500 stroker engine in a RMZ 450 four stroke frame realising that no one makes a pipe to fit this hybrid.
Two weeks later and much cone rolling and welding we came up with the TDR Taipan (a snake to the uninitiated )
Tuned length and dimensions correct for the porting on this engine hence it has to snake like that to fit the bike.

 

now thats art

 

fucking amazing

bet you both had a fun doing that :w00t:

 

very nice!

 

that looks the business i noticed though is there going to be enough room for a foot and gear shifter, looks like its going to be a tight fit.

 

great construction
i have tired making a pipe but i am strugling with the tapers getting them round
are you using tapered slip rollers ??

 

Theres enough clearance for the gear lever and the footrest hangers are a fair way back so unless you`ve got clowns feet theres no problem :w00t:

Rolling cones we use a machine we made and a set of formers to build them, problem with tapered slip rollers are the small hand cranked ones available (at £1600!) are too small to roll a cone of any length and some end cone dimensions can run over 280mm if rolled in one piece, making a long cone in smaller sections is the answer but it takes more time,more welds and so makes it more expensive in both to build.

 

yeah i turned up some rollers on the lathe
but it was hard to work with and in the end i was just beating them around with a hammer
it didnt turn out quite like i wanted it to
I hear what you are saying about the roller length
I have a normal set of rollers at work but it will not go small enough and it doesnt to tapers

 

very trick that fella

 

if i brought my bike to you would you be able to make me one and how much cheers because i cant find one to fit my waynge sinnis ghost or if u no of any power pipes ro fit it could you let me no plz
