Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers underway)
Thanks guys Here is the right side mostly done aside from the silencer (which I don't have yet). You probably spotted the mistake, I got the seam 180* off on two of the cones which doesn't look great but I'll live with it. Just have to make one the exact opposite now and I'm all set
Thanks guys

Beautiful work, I wish I could do something like that.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers underway)
Ok guys I have a decision to make on the silencers. I am probably going to go with carbon silencers which are available in 150mm, 250mm and 300mm lengths. The issue is that my pipes are already pretty long so I am thinking of going with the 150mm (6") option, however I am a bit concerned that they will be too loud! Anyone used the 150mm silencers and have an opinion on the noise level? I don't mind the bike having a good bark to it but I don't want it to be obnoxiuosly loud.
All thoughts and opinions welcomed!

Finally got left side pipe done. It is tough making the pipe the exact opposite of the other side. I am going to go with the 250mm silencers. I feel as if I am actually getting somewhere now, the pipes were the major work I had left so hopefully I can get this thing done in a couple of months now.

John, great job, stay the course! Yes the symmetry is difficult, maybe that's why I make two into one exhaust? My project has virtually stalled due to family matters etc. slow going but I keep on nibbling. Your T-500 looks so good, and the technical specs will be impressive as well, should be a runner soon.
Cheers, 50gary
