Turns out putting it on a semi was the cheapest shipping from northern Vermont. And it helped that he does wood working as a living

Mild steel parts? Bummer. Would be killer if they were stainless

Even though they are mild steel, you would be very smart to back purge weld them. Any time you can eliminate the atmosphere from your welds, you're far better off. Yeah, I know, they're 2-stroke pipes and will be sooty, but the weld will be much stronger and last far longer.

simon#42 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 13, 2018, 08:48:20 AM »

the good thing about daves pipes is that they always work , he made me a couple of sets for a tz350 in 1978 !
have had plenty more since , just be very careful to keep the lengh the same when cutting and welding . im not a great fan of this engine but it should make a great bike .

Agreed on, i wish they were stainless. But hey, if mild steel was good for Wayne Rainey before he rain titanium chambers, then i guess i can get by with them. I do wish i had some ti ones.

Thanks for the advise on back purging them! Will do!
