and as for a pipe from Service honda,  you will still end up denting it around the water fixture if you don't use the up pipe on the water nipple. The CPI fits like a glove but its expensive and big so it is probably susceptable to denting.

is this a MPS conversion?

don46:
never mind I went back to the beginning

Kwackerman:
That's great news about the hose.  I wondered if anyone other than SH had those.

I'll call my buddy to see if he's already cut the pipe.  If he hasn't I'll tell him to hold off till I can get a hose.  That'll save me some $.

I will also say that the first AF framed bike I did was similar to your frame rails, I will caution you to watch them very closely because they will break, after the second time I gutted it, bent all new frame rails using radiused tubing and gusseted both the top and bottom.

Hey Don.
Just curious, did you heat treat the frame when done?
