Hi Guys,
I think I may be dreaming here, but the deal is that I have a sidecar, and am wondering if anyone has seen a two-into-one system that goes to the drive side instead of the off-side?
It would certainly make things with the sidecar easier! Perhaps someone in Europe has done it? I've never seen one, so I'm shooting in total darkness here.
Just wondering....
Thanks, Guys.

Haven't seen one. Omar's offers a set of high pipes that run along the left side:
www.omarsdtr.com/milepipe.html
Jemco (http://www.jemcoexhaust.com/) will build custom pipes for the XS650. "They" (actually it's just a "he") built the high pipes on Wally Wronka's tracker: www.650motorcycles.com...kaToy.html
It's my understanding that Jemco will build just about anything you want.
Best,
ichael

any good with a mig welder? If so buy some bends from one of the headder mfg. and make your own on your bike exactly the way you want them. little pricey though it cost me 90 bucks for the bends. But you will have one offs made to fit your application. Problam with buying made up pipes they may need to be altered for your application. Jemco yup they will so will others but as I stated they dont have YOUR motorcycle there so you will be getting pipes made for another bike. serious alterations and custom motorcycles need to be custom made to the machine. Besides then you have bragging rights that you made your own,

Hi Guys,
Well, Roy, I have a mig and a stick welder, but can't use either one of them, since I have an implanted defibrillator that doesn't like large electromagnets. However, my son is a welder and iron worker, and I bet he could weld me up some pipes. I'll ask him, and see what he says---that is to say, how creative he will be in finding an excuse not to try it....
Anyway, as perhaps a long term project, it might be fun to try fabricating custom pipes....I've never done anything like that, and if I cut the pieces, and son Bob welded them up, we have a chrome shop in town---hey, this could work!!
Thanks, Guys!
