Very nice, I guess that explains the want ad for air cooled cases. Did you make the aluminum spigots too are were they purchased?

Outstanding work!

I could pick your pipes out of a line-up of pipes any day.

One of the most beautiful pipes money can buy. :smt045

All finished up, I tend not to mount the stingers because I never know what foot rests people are using, so I made a bracket that fits under the foot rest so they can use what ever they want :smt003

How come your stainless pipes look so different from other stainless pipes?

Most that I've seen have a gold bead without much color change.

Sometimes the color changing on your pipes looks kind of blue. Maybe it's the lighting.

Whatever you're doing, it's amazing!

I thought they might be mild steel, but they are so shiney, I was fooled. :smt003

Actually, it's more impressive. They look WAY better than other mild steel pipes.

Very interesting. My 2 favorite pipes are your mild steel pipes and Kenny's [non-stainless] pipes. Kenny uses a different kind of steel than most others and his pipes also have a beautiful and unique appearance.

Never thought I would prefer mild steel over stainless!

When I first started making pipes back in the UK I used a plated CR4.... the plating was zintec, this plated sheet I found by sheer fluke. I can't remember which project Kenny and myself where working on but I know I made the pipes and he quite liked the finish. I believe this is the plate Kenny uses now, I just can't find the same stuff in North America.

I must have 10 different sheets that I was told is the same but it's not, Zintec welded real nice and didn't rust.... paint would bond to it good and it plated well so I just use mild now :)

Hi slinger, could you PM me for your pipe pricing? I'd love to have a set sent out to me here in Calgary. I'd also love it if you could make me a set of LC pipes, straight out the back of an RZ frame.
