camatv Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 i just know how easy it is to get discouraged. even if you destroy 3 sets of pipes and waste whatever amount of time. there is the satisfaction of trying. which is more than all the haters have done....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 if you wanna snoop around 2strokeworld.com there are a few peeps making thier own pipes for thier RD 350/400 projects (including hybrids) coz there are very limited pipe options for those bikes now. very friendly community btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadbeat Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 it sux more companies didnt/doesnt make stainless pipes like LRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I've always heard stainless is just hard to work with. Figure for the cost its probably cheaper to have raw steel chromed when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 stainless isnt exotic, the majority of Jim Lomas`s work is stainless, polish it up like chrome or leave it raw they will outlast mild steel tenfold, i guess thats not really good business when it comes to quads.

Young Guns Racing Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Interesting, may be a few materiel trials in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Gotta buddy who's going to loan me a tig welder before I buy and rolled cones are on their way! Steel versions of this attempt will be coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Got my slip roller today. Just a small 12" from Woodward Fab, sweet little unit (tho ive never owned one so I cant say much). Works just as described. I rolled a few straight sections from zinc plated scrap steel and they came out nicely. I will be attempting to roll hard cones later on. I am sure this will take practice but just having this tool gives me a huge boost of confidence and I am so close to actually accomplishing this its unreal. Going to buy a tig of my own here soon so I wont have to keep borrowing. Oh and the pre-rolled cones I purchased will be here friday according to fedex. So as mentioned hopefully I will have some successful pics for you to check out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well I got my coned sections in today, they look pretty sweet. Anyhow, heres a loosely taped together mock up of what they will look like! Sorry my workbench is pretty damn dirty right now. Anyhow, I'm excited and will be curious to see what kinda power they will make (if any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
