Oz lining up the muffler.
Next will be setting up the jetting in the carb to match the pipe once that is sorted out.
Then removal of the seat "horns" to get the seat profile right, then hand made fenders & fuel tank.

Big, Powerful Engines NEED a fat exhaust, so, I'll Build a fat exhaust and I'll make power! Uhh, maybe not..

You've built a nice looking exhaust system there.

Intake design is just as important.
And with some hunting, engineering one is explained.

The Brits know which way to point the exhaust.

I always thought the muffler should bend up, ala Norton, on a Savage/S40.

Nice job & nice looking.....

I agree completely with Kenny. That exhaust is beautiful! I've been trying to figure out how to turn my exhaust up like that. I guess I'd have to fab a new header.

Kris,

If SaltRacer shows us how he attached the muffler to the frame I think my muffler shop here in Denton could bend me an adapter to thingy the muffler up on an angle.

Don't you just love censorship "thingy" ?

Thanks for the comments guys.
The header pipe took 2 3/4 hrs to make we sand filled the pipe, you can see the cap on the end in one of the pics, then formed it
Papa the ww's are Maxxis M6011's.
I will post a pic of the bracket later this week.
Here is a pic of the "silencer" haahaa

SaltRacer,

How did you attach the muffler to the frame?

Yes, yes! Details please!

I tried brainstorming this once and couldn't figure out a decent way to do it without a lot of trouble.
