Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER! (DONE..for now. VIDEO!)

Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Curb - Nah man - We have them all cut up, and mounted them straight, but the mufflers are on, and the pipes arent bent yet. Still debating on how exactly to accomplish that. The existing pipes need to be bent, but nobody has given me a straight answer at the muffler shops as to whether or not they can be bent without kinking so I may run the pipes open and keep my clean CL exhaust for inspection.

Yeahhh! Thanks guys! Had to go order some brake shoes for it today - got my new clutch lever, and once all that shit is on - BAM on the road!
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Shit... Now I really have to hurry up on the 350...
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Don't rush bro! But the sooner that thing is moving the sooner we can start terrorizing the greater Pittsburgh area!
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

I was at work last night and missed the vid of your bike running (stupid blackberry). Got to watch it this morning though!

It's ALIVE!!

Congrats man
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

I think BIGR & I are friends. Cause hes always online when I am. Yup congrats. Do tigers hunt at night? Cause that was one dark ass action shot. But none the less! Yipppeee!

Mines still nameless & in "mockup" stage in my bedroom.

Is it cold where you are? Like summer/winter climate?
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Actually it's just below freezing out. Curbcast, you're from the great North, aren't you? So I guess just below freezing might be considered warm to you ;D

I'm usually up all night (shift at work) so i get the lull about 2 am whenever North America is going to bed. But on the brightside, I get to look forward to all the fresh Australian posts!

J - that vid was too dark to give it justice. Can't wait to see that 175cc monster rolling down the streets!
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Thanks guys! Taking some time off of work next week so I hope to have it rolling by then - At least to the point where I can roll her from the garage to my house to pull the motor and rebuild the forks - as well as get all this stuff out to Joe for powder! Gonna clean it up real good but Im gonna take the motor to a local place Mike (von yinzer) referred me to, since i flat-out dont have the time to do the motor myself at the moment :( . But I figure things like tht are best left to the pros anyway!

Ill take another video + photos next time Im at the shop.

Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

That little s.o.b. is going to be a killer! Lemme know how the shop treats ya on the motor. Im really debating having someone freshen mine up, as I just dont have a proper (read: clean... my buddys garage is a mess with all the bikes jammed in there) workspace to do it in... Spring time in the West Penn is going to be loud...
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Will do man - Really hoping to get it over there next week. Doubtful that itll come together as I foresee though... But YES! Cant wait til spring man. My buddy who is helping me with this build rides an 07 883 Sportster - and I know hes dying to dirt-track the thing out, so Im sure he'll be rolling as well, loud as hell. Im seriously torn at this point though as to whether or not I wanna use these mufflers! I love the way this bike sounds with nothing on it! I know running a muffler will make it easier for tuning, but yeesh - I dont wanna muffle anything! haha
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

I hear ya. I was going to pick up some reverse magaphones myself, but I think im just going with some inner baffles. My neighbors will be pissed, but they dont like me anyway...
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

some type of muffler or lollypop will make tuning so much easier!
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

CHEAP AS HELL and would probably look pretty cool. Seem to be the right size too...
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Nate used those on his original exhaust for his "cb200 remix" build and I think they were used on the Felix 200 build as well. CHeck those out. Nate went back to original exhaust set up but I think it was more for looks.

I was going to try them on my 200 as well.
 
Re: Copper Pipe Customs - CL175 Build Thread - THE TIGER!

Ahhh I see it! Think I might try em out - The shorties I got were gonna take too much doin' to use so Im gonna send em back.
