If you would like to continue to follow my build i am more active on DOTHE TON. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=72993.0

I appreciate your concern about my oil level. If you didnt care what I did you would assume I can check my oil level and have moved on. I've been posting and using this form to share my build as I feel its something different and is very hands on with hand fabricated parts. Since I've been...

I don't really see how this is a big issue. What about all the guys that raise there forks in the triple clamps. It lowers the front of the bike. The bike then tilts forward. Using stock center stand would give false reading? Every motor cross bike has a sight glass, they do not have center...

Going to build a set of jacks similar to this. It will have extension long enough so exhaust will clear the jack. I need a set for use with the work table and will work great for checking and changing oil.

Update. Exhaust is done minus final welding. Came out awesome. I can even get the oil filter out which is a plus! On to getting the rear shocks mounted up. also built a work platform need to figure out a way to keep the bike up there though.

I'm okay with pulling the exhaust off. Shouldn't be to bad. The exhaust is pretty short. I'll be wrenchin on it tomorrow going to see about getting the filter off.

I'm going with no. Planned on pulling exhaust to change filter. But we will see.

The muffler will be under the engine with the exit out the right side just behind the foot peg. Similar to some sport bikes.

Thanks guys. Hoping to get some shop time soon. Updates to follow. Maybe even some video.

Wow well its been a little over a year since my last post. Bike has been on the back burner but got it back up front. Ordered the exhaust parts. Muffler is one of the duels from a CRF250. 1.25" main tubes to 1.25" merge pipe to 1.38" This is my first time working with mandrel bends. Its not very...

Who makes these? Also are brackets purchased or custom? Thats a good lookin set up

Nice! thanks.......going with 1.25" head pipes to a 1.5" collector and my can is around 12" long 1.5 in/out

Thats the plan

Taillight is here. Its a motodynamic piece. Quality is awesome. Has programmable stop alert and sequential signals. Now i can continue on the tail section.

Its been awhile since I've posted last. But been busy with other things. Starting to wrench on bike again. Waiting on a few parts. Picked up the left dual from a 06 crf250r still going with 2-1 head pipe. Started on seatpan/tail section. Ordered a honda grom tail light which will fit my needs...

What u guys think of 1.25" out of the heads with 2-1 collector within a fews inches of heads to single 1.5"? So basically a single 1.5"

Did some looking into "torque tubes". I think i will just use 1.25 tube to help with the loss.

Plan is to just make the collars on the lathe. Any body have a link to a custom exhaust build? I cant find much, lots of 650 stuff. What about sizes seems 1.5" is to big? 1.25 is not a whole lot smaller? See lots of 400's running just head pipes with baffle inserts. There bikes run? Why is...

So 1.5" 2 into 1 with a muffler is going to have to little back pressure?

Thanks guys. My shop is pretty set-up big band saw, mig, tig, lathe, press w/ brake, plasma. Was just looking to save a little time by using the that kit. After some more looking I'll prob just piece together a kit from mandrel-bends.com since they have 2-1 collectors. I will be using a shorten...
