Finally got my pipes
Yup, before they went under, they had already sent my pipes, got it last thursday(yey!). Installed it that day, but no new gaskets, used the old ones, bad idea, they leaked real bad. Removed the pipes, inspect the pipe at the flange, and found the pipe flange had caked up chrome, like it had been hung upside down and it just dripped at the end of the flange, I had to grind it down flat with a die grinder and a flat file. Had to wait the next day to get gaskets, got the new ones on and sealed right up. Sounds awesome! Lots of smoke when first started from the left over chrome chemicals, but it burnt off after awhile. Rode down to the Oyster run, stayed the weekend, but it rain, and it was cold too, so I slipped my winter nylon pants on and rode,not even a mile , I notice a burnt smell, looked down, and my pants had a big oval hole in it, with all that goo on the pipes. My next step, make heat shields, and repair my winter nylon pants.
