heres my first custom slip on.. i did all the piping and welding.. welds aren't super clean, but itll do the job and hold nicely. doesn't really matter tho its getting header wraped.

motor is a cbr600 rr. stock header with 2 brothers slip on cut up. zx10 can(i think). the can has been gutted and shortin alot

 

looks like shit, will look better after its wraped but you should have followed the lines of the frame.

 

I gotta agree with following the lines of the frame.

I have to ask though, why do you have the motor tilted so far forward in the frame? Have you tried getting the throttle bodies in the frame yet?

 

LOL right knew this was going to come up....


this was the only way to run it..i was gonna run it under the swingarm but thats where the bottle's is going... and im not hacking up the header

 

thats the way it is in a cbr.. so had to keep the oil pan level. the throttle bodies are on the motor now.. never took them off.

 

i think it looks pretty cool... but im not a ninja bike builder.

 

he is doing good for learning to fab. and weld. I think it looks good.

 

here for u steve

 

heres a pic of a stock header.. for those that have no clue what it looks like



u can NOT in fact run it tighter to the frame unless u cut all 4 pipes.. and move the "Y" pipe back... and again for those that no NOTHING about this bike(cbr) u cant do that b.c the oil sit in the middle of the header


so u guys plz tell me how to "follow the frame"


edit: i also do not have the rear sets on.. once there on its wont look the same

 

where theres a will theres a way man, It might take a whlole lot more work buts its def possible to follow the lines of the frame. If it took making a complete new header then thats what it would take. Im assuming your new into the fabrication game? Well it really doesnt look that bad for someone that doesnt do custom fab work for a career. When i said that it looked like shit i was assuming you were some jackass that owned a shop trying to brag about what pipe he tacked together. In that case i would have higher standards you know. But keep it up man, its not bad at all.
