  1. cheers.....taking the pipes off this weekend so ill measure the id and see what i can find . gonna try some baffles of ebay....already got the matting... cheers
  2. hi all....ive got a bike with straight thru pipes and there way too loud... the problem i have is there both bent about 3 inch from the end..so ill have problems fitting a baffle in.. so what i was thinking is making baffles with 22mm copper pipe....and bending them to fit around the bend... that way i might get a baffle 7inch long.... anybody think of a better idea...is copper pipe ok to use... if i was in america it wouldnt be a problem cos ive seen baffles over there which are flexible made for bent pipes... ive recently ordered stuff from the usa and with the exchange rate and post it cost me a fortune so want to avoid ordering anything else from there.. cheers all
  3. cheers for the info...sorted now but ill remeber that griptwister... worked out a needed a 10mm spacer and found a couple online from other bikes...
  4. Your hair could get caught it it , this happened to girl I knew . I've never been comfortable around wood and metal working machines. Band saws give me the fear just thinking about them . well being bald means i dont have to worry about that...
  5. cheers all.....my old man used to have a lathe....im actually thinking of getting one..i have used one but that was about 35yrs ago in college... what could possibly go wrong... cheers all
  6. Cheers all Managed to find some on eBay that have the right ID and should do Cheers
  7. you know i was just thinking that......my head hurts so if i went 28mm od with a thickness of 1.5mm i would end up with what i need. is it ok to make it out of aluminium
  8. hi all...i need to make a wheel spacer for a project im doing.... i was thinking of using aluminium tube and cutting using a mitre block.... looking online at tubing and they all state outside diameter...i want 25mm id so thats confusing me... if i find a tube with 28mm od and a 3mm wall with that give me the 25mm id i need... or should i find an engineering shop to make them for me.... cheers all
  9. i counted them on the bike but now ive counted on the pic and yes 17 it is... the rear sprocket was custom made to fit a wheel with a drum brake and imo he made it too big... pulls off better in second.....i know the engine was made to rev high but with my pipes it sounds too high at 50ish mph. was just trying to reduce the revs a bit at 50.... ill probebly never go much faster as i just use it to potter around the b roads around the north notts area...and theres plenty of them up here. i do need to sort a speedo out tho.....its drum brake front and back so dont think i could fit an aftermarket digi speedo.. no place to fit the magnets...so might look at a gps speedo
  10. and grumpy old git.... will be ordering sprocket once ive loosend the old one...havnt tried yet... cheers
  11. thanks for your time fastbob..i dont get on here very often.
  12. so this is a 16 and i want bigger...probebly 17 will go in without any other adjustment... looked on ebay and all the er500 gpz and ex are differant....they have 2 holes for a retainer to be fitted... any ideas....this might also help with ageing my engine... its not in a standard er frame its a custom built bike.... cheers all
