Re: HiaWhatThe? (LAKEPIPES INSTALL) aka-exhaust pipes

The tank is just on for show at the moment,I still have to figure out what I'm going to do with it.I have no doubt this bike will go through numerous teardowns and rebuilds.

I like the looks of the over/under headlights - I ended up with a similar combination on my RRBBO5 Build! Robert

BTW - I was in my storage space the other day and I looked for the Hiawatha Embossed Chain Guard I was telling you about and I do indeed have one. I brought it back to the house w/ me - I'll get some pics and PM them to you. Have Fun Robert

I have admired your bike many times,I really dont think mine will look so good.Thats an awesome bike bro!
Ill check the mail,thanks!

I would go with the Irish badge or maybe put it on the seattube.

Man that's a good looking bike! :shock: I agree with Kingfish, put the Irish one on the seat tube and the original badge up front :wink: That's what I did on The Young American 8)

The pipes look great.

My chain would slap the frame when I hit the brakes. Any clearance issue with the pipes?

Ya know I was soo mad at the rear hub being messed up that I didnt notice haha.I rotated it some and didnt hear anything but once again I was upset at the time.
It may be something I will have to compensate for by one means or the other.
If it ends up being a clearance issue Ill make a guide roller to keep the chain off the pipes.

Id like to report that the chain clears like it was factory built for pipes!!

dabbling with chainguards since I dont have the original.This one was out of a bike shop/western auto up town that is being turned into a restaraunt.the price on it says 1.29 lol.Its unused,likely a repro but has the look im shooting for and well....its about all i have that will fit.

Re: HiaWhatThe? (LAKEPIPES INSTALL) aka-exhaust pipes

Had a cool old shift knob laying around,it was beat up and yellowed.Found a cool way to incorporate it into my build.
Why not a shift knob horn button!
for a shift rod i used a broken sissy bar and an axle shaft.

everything just kinda laying there while i scratched my head

the shift rod cut down(had to be cut in half later)

top view,pre clean up

side view of the shaft assembly,spot welded a washer and squared it to keep it all in place

knob after SOS scrub and polishing with metal polish,works great on some plastics

lowered the horn assembly with a couple spacer nuts and longer screws,this is it assembled,need the horn itself now and it will work

Some after popping the tank on,the tank will get some form of work down the road.

Truly hope you all like it!!!!!!!
Thanks for dropping in!!

Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(SHIFT KNOB HORN BUTTON)

Now that's the kind of imaginative little extras that seperate the winners from the others. What are you going to come up with for the light switch? Keep up the great work! Robert

Well,now I have dual exhaust and a 4 speed shifter....if I could just figure out how to mount a 455 in it I'd be set.
