Then trial mount of the pipe. You can't tell in the pic but the angle of the right pipe is all wrong, hit on the frame underneath and fit against the motor all lopsided, also it exited directly on the rear tire. Pulled the pipe back off and discovered someone had re welded on the flange off center. Tried filing it back square but the pipe wasn't moving in the right direction, so finally just heated up the bottom bend with the torch and "unbent" it slightly. Now the pipe tucks in nice and doesn't rub on the frame or spew it's exhaust on the tire. (by the way Benno, you will probably get some rust on the inside of that lower bend rather quickly, but I figure that is better then sliding across the tarmac on your azz after the rear tire loses grip).
