Re: 71' CB500 monoshock with no name...but she runs now (vid on page14)
I've been toying around with some pipes on this. The pipes on it now are cool, but someone gutted and kind of destroyed the "muffler" part of them. I was thinking of running dual pipes up the back a little. Found these duc pipes and thought it might be cool. Eh?

^ +1, would like to see how you have that set up. My brother offered me his stock Duc cans and I wasn't sure whether or not to take him up on them (also, they weigh three hundred pounds each)

The one I picked up is aluminum and titanium and weighs alot less than one of the stock silencers from my bike. I haven't put it on yet, so a pic would be of no help, it's laying on a shelf with a bunch of pipe in my garage.

Well, I found a setup from a Hayabusa that was relatively cheap. $80 for headers, and 4 cans. 1 was damaged, so I started to tear it apart to see if I could make some shorter (and far lighter) mufflers for this thing. So far, it's a no-go. Aluminum outer casing that I can't seem to slip the insides out of. I'm sure I'll eventually get it. But for now. I have adapted the GSXR1300 headers to the cb. I like them, and it seems that I can still get to my oil filter up front without too much trouble as long as the bike isn't too hot! : There's a mounting point in the rear of the pipes where it crosses. I've got to make some new collar spacers up front, and then weld a point for it to attach at that X point. So far, so good.

Took me a bit, but I just went through your build from start until now. I'm loving the way this is turning out and definitely like your style. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I hate how long it takes me to get to the bike though. I'm driving down to Georgia for a wedding...so progress won't happen until next week. I'll be starting and finishing the seat pan when I get home Wednesday if all goes well! Thanks again.
