My Suzi T500 Project *It's Alive Video*

Re: My Suzi T500 Project

Brad, only a part of the tank and seat will be polished the rest will be scotchbrite finish.
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project

OK after spending the last 2 days reading all 51 pages all I can say is WOW! Thoroughly impressed. I have gained a lot of knowledge and insight from this and I will utilize it toward the upgrade of my own T500. This is the reason I joined this site. Great work!
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project

Thanks for the kind words. Finally made some progress! Got the exhaust stubs made so I am ready start on the pipes. Also ordered a set of engine case polished stainless cap head bolts from ebay for $26, can't beat that.

More progress on the down pipes. Hard to see in the pics but there are two different curves and a twist in this section.

Is this easier then juts bending the pipes, or is it a look thing? Cause it looks bad assed
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (exhausting!)

Not easier but I don't have access to a mandrel tube bender, plus from this point on the rest of the sections will be cones. Personally I agree it looks wicked made up in sections ;)

the taper on the pipe increases just alittle with each ring

Makes sense, and does look bad assed. Wish I had the skills to get 'r done. I'm only a mig guy
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (exhausting!)

Nice work on the pipes! Like the dzus clips on the seat as well.

Why not give it a try? I migged my first pipes, and it looks like those headers are mig tacked. BTW, unless I'm mistaken those sectioned headers are cut from straight pipe, not tapered.
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (exhausting!)

Sure, I'm down to try anything, twice. What wall thickness are those pipes? Didn't want to get something too thin that I'll blow right through...
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project (exhausting!)

Looking awesome,I built the pipes on my cm the same way.
