|
Has anyone got plans for scrambler type pipes? Or a set of high pipes laying around?
A friend of mine has a bender, and I want to build a 2 into 1 high-pipe system, preferably left-side exit. Any help would be fabulous.
Some head-pipe length specs. before the y-pipe would be handy for tuning purposes.

Not the best Quality, nor specs, but am sure you could work it out from these. Thought they looked cool, and look like they have been modeled on the BSA scrambler xsjohn had

Those may be an option, though I would rather go 2 into 1. I will continue to search & experiment.

I need some new pipes SOON.
I am gonna ask a local pipe makes to do it. But I feel a big sting coming on
Any advice on how to make or have some made as inexpensively as possible is gratefully received.

Still have 2 RT's....Red is the 71 and Blue is a 72.......I rode Red for 10 years or more...Blue I built for my dad which came back to me.....both geared taller of course...17/40.....and two foot lockers full of new parts I collected...and the gear boxes are wide ratio....unlike the funky close ratio XS's.......

I totally LOVE and I mean LOVE the look of older trail / dirt bikes from the 70's.
I had a DT250 and a DT400, and my experience of them, was shocking..despite lovin' the bikes, I never actually GOT anywhere on them. I couldnt actually go on really long cruising rides..and once on the 400 was hit by a car and the entire bike sprang apart like a broken watch..leaving me sitting on the boot of this guys car..watching as the tank leaked fuel and the cases leaked gear oil and the tyres hissed and the seat rocked back and forth on the ground seperate from the rest of the bike..its was like buckaroo ! LOL

Why didn't you change the gears.......my RT!'s were geared 15/44 stock......changed them to 17/40 and still won a 70 mile Enduro in the Ocala National Forest.......and I was riding double........my friend on the back with trials tires...........and then we rode it home 75 miles on the express......at 65 miles an hour...
I plan on making a chopper out of one of them....

The 1967 305 scrambler I had was geared about right. You could go down forest trails in the low gears, but its top gear worked great on the highway. It was a good bike to learn on.

At the risk of getting back on topic......I assume you've checked Omars Racing and seen the scrambler type pipes he sells?
omarsdtr.com/milepipe.html
Pricey but: reputed to be excellent performers Best, Blue

The topic did have scrambler in it..........seems a stretch to classify the XS as a srambler though....guess no one really did....but it could be a ambler or a rambler....and they are calling fat women full figured now...so maybe it is.......

speaking of GT's. a good friend of mine just picked up a GT750 Triple Suzuki. Nicely restored too. so i bought him a nice set of clubmans for it. TO bad the middle cylinder isn't running. Probably Fouled plug or carbs are dirty.
