69 cl175 track bike build costello

[boobby]

picked this thing up a few weeks ago and have been putting off posting anything about it till i decided what i actually wanted to do to it. I am going o build it as a 200 vintage class racer, but am gonna do a little creative lighting for some use up in the GA mountains.. so far i have the seat (one of my own tail sections), front full faring, aluminum rims, cb350 hubset, new spokes, all the exhaust tubing (and one silencer buit) , and an idea for a tank.. this should be a pretty quick build (hopefully)..

Very cool

did some exhaust work last

Is that stainless pipe? What kind of welder are you using? Can you weld stainless to steel? I have to do something similar for my project but it will be a high pipe. The header section is steel and the rest is stainless.

 

[boobby]

it is all steel for the most part that is being tig welded.. you can weld the stainless to regular steel

One of the headers is finally underneath the bike, and i built a bunch of the left cylinder header tonight, I knew it was going to be a pain in the ass to snake these in between frame and engine for a two into one. this exhaust is also going to have to be about 3-4 spring mounted pieces that fit together, which should be cool in the end but a ton of time to build, have about 3.5 hours in it right now and i bet i will out another 4 into it..

Cool Idea! Tubing looks on the thick side, but I like your style dude!

 

[boobby]

the actual exhaust tubing is 18 and 20 gauge so it is relativity light. i had to use some thicker tubing for the fittings where it is spring mounted because i am cheap and I happened to have some tubing with the right inner diameter to fit over the actual exhaust tubing.
