THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF IT...
« on: April 10, 2011, 08:31:31 PM »
The GOOD
-the 8" (accually 12" total) cherry bomb fit perfectly on the end of the 4 to 1 header  :)
THE BAD
-I now have to redesign the rearset linkage  :(
I have some ideas but its not looking  easy. nothing off the shelf is going to work as I cut off the brake arm sleeve on the frame early on.

Wouldn't it be easier to go about this the exact opposite way?  Couldn't you bend/alter the headers to fit with more clearance in the rear?

yeah i considered that but i really like the snug fit to frame of the exhaust. already have a solution in the works that should work out well.
