I didnt like the way the first exhaust came out... looked like a home made piece... Plus I hate the FMF Q, so I returned to the Turbine core model.

Heres the silencer, mounted with twin mounts

I combined two head pipes to make a clean detour around the subframe

I left the little tabs on temporarily to give you an idea of the orientation.

This exhaust looks way better!!

Once its all welded, OEM baby...

Brian did something similar to mine. I hope I never have to replace it.

Thanks Brit.....One piece of the puzzle at a time.

Once the tank is done... ( maybe plumb the spars now, not later...)

Hey Bob, what do you mean by plumbing the frame spars for fuel. I can't picture this in my head.

The spars are hollow, like a long beer can with a divider in the middle. It kinds looks like a dual barreled shotgun, on edge.

If you drill upwards at the lower end you can create an outlet and punch through this divider

If you drill down at the top, you can create a vent, and again ..drill through the divider.

Both spars combined are about .5 gallons. When plumbed into the fuel system, they would be self filling, and draining in operation.

.5 gallons is a heck of a lot better than pushing back to the truck..

Great write up! I got a spare motor home and you got me thinking!!

ALL my welding is done... I'll post some photos of the final assembly and hopefully make the Ride New Years Day!

The CDI sits where the battery did

The coil sits where the voltage regulator did

A louver in the right side panel keeps everything nice and cool....

That has to be a record length coil wire

At 186,000 miles per second, I think it will be o.k.

How long were the ignition leads on your last car with a distributor?

Same difference.

Did I say anything negative?

It HAS to be a record length HT wire on a bike tho

You know me..... dare to be different.

Well, my fuel tank is done.... I have mixed feelings... I'll post up some photos tomorrow.

It holds 2.25 gallons. 2.57 is stock CRF250X. I had better watch the levels closely, as I'm used to riding with the 2.5 gallon steelie tank.
