underslung Millet sm pipe

(1/7) > >>

kwakman:
Just found a rare Millet pipe and snapped it up quick.These were very expensive in their day (like $850 expensive, ouch), and have many fans.It is a top end pipe, but doesn't follow the usual routing.Instaed of the usual loop near the stator, it does the same thing but on the right hand side, before snaking under the bike and exiting beside the swing arm on the left hand side, like half  a 350 Yam.Looks pretty funky.If there's enough interest, I might be persuaded into passing it to a suitable member to copy, and sell to members on here at a much cheaper than original cost.I'm not interested in making any money on it, was thinking they should be sold at cost plus a reasonable profit to whoever makes them.This might seem a bit strange but they are so rare many of us would never have the chance of having/trying one, but if we can make this work if you want to, everybody wins.
Will post some pics asap.K.

If you could post pics of the pipe as well as show how it mounts to the bike so we can see the routing that would be very interesting.
Thanks!

Will post pics as soon as I recieve it.Has to come to england from france, so a week or so.If you want to have a look sooner, do a worldwide ebay search for item no. 3504 0402 7540. Dont know what ground clearance will be for mx use, my guess would be not brilliant, but for road or sm it should be bangin.Dont know about doing it by dies as this would be costly, maybe doing it like a patchwork quilt or strips welded like they used to do in the 70s?
