KXer:
Oh, and also to finish the desert tank fitment as this thing is a thirsty girl.
gwcrim:
I'm getting ready to fit a pipe to my '02 project so your info is timely. Please post pics of the pipe fitment issues if you can. I really don't want to screw up a new pipe. It's hard to imagine how there was a clearance issue with the rad hose.
How did the silencer situation work out?
KXer:
Sorry if that wasn't clear. Not the radiator hose connecting the radiators, but the hose coming from the cylinder to the waterpump. I don't have pics of how I had to dent it in as it isn't pretty (banged it out with a couple different hammers).
The silencer worked out great as it is the same inner diameter as the pipe is. So I slid a piece of chromoly over both and used high temp RTV silicone to seal and hold them. No issues with that at all.
I'd just like to say that I am STOKED on the Service Honda pipe as it made the job very easy, and only took minor modification to complete. I had a shipping issue with them and I am waiting to hear how that gets resolved. AJ went above and beyond to make sure the shipping department sent my pipe in time, Thanks again AJ.
KXer:
Here are 2 pics that I have right now.
Scratch that I can only access this one right now. Don't mind the clutch cover, that will be replaced as soon as I can find a replacement.
KXer:
Here is the front.
You get the idea of what I am going for with that front mount. I will be welding on 2 small tabs onto the frame and then bolting the triangle bracket (I will also be making this out of steel) to the new SH pipe.
