Very nice use of the old forged "Y" section. I take a slightly different approach but it looks real good and will have a nice factory look when finnished. With what looks to be real tallent skip the SH pipe and modify a PC or FMF from a KX500 and have a real custom part. Great job!

I think a very succesful "Y" could be built out of some 1/4" flat pieces of sheet. I wish I had a frame to mod just to do a post on my idea. Very nice work, now lets see some beads. No pressure LOL

Anybody know how I can get my hands on one of SH's pipes? I have called and emailed with no luck. Thanks

Two problems I encountered with the pipe on my 2008 Service Honda KXF450R. http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,4784.45.htmlhttp://www.servicehonda.com/kx500af.html#1: The bend/loop covers the flywheel, removal of the cover or flywheel requires removal of the pipe. It also interferers with the use of my E-Line coil. I'll have to have a different pipe if I want to use the coil. http://www.promotobillet.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/24_79/products_id/412#2: Service Honda utilizes the right rear fender bolt to mount their muffler. I will have to relocate the mufflers mount to the original subframe muffler mount to enable me to install the rack. I must say Service Honda made their pipe for a specific use. It looks, mounts and works great for moto-cross. I use mine more like an enduro so I have to make a few changes. |

I used the 1/4" plates on mine and it worked great, 1 yr. of riding and no problems, also I bought a SH FMF pipe and works great.

Man, you don't mess around. Lots of progress in a relatively short period of time! Looks GOOD!

I think I am around the $3000 mark. That is buying both bikes and selling off parts too. I bought a set of DNA wheels though, and that was $500.

And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
