Have you seen page 1 at the top

yes I have. The jig is defo easily replicated, it's the completed set that I'd need to be able to measure and replicate the angles, I'd probable make one out of cold rolled just to get a feel for the compound bends and angles in each piece of tube then make one out of stainless or whatever material is required/desired.

This is probably still too soon but I'll just put it out there... I'm a custom metal fabricator. I've never done an exhaust but I'd love to have a look at the jigs and if I had access to a completed set I'm sure I could do something worth a shout. My shop is pretty comprehensive and anything I don't have I would get.

Bad news on a couple of fronts. After this last production run, our fourth run actually, the pipe builder handed off the welding jigs to sfdownhill, essentially ending our production runs with him. Unfortunately he and I never got to discuss what we wanted to do with them.

 

Here’s the really sad part, sfdownhill had a life ending accident this past week, he was was pronounced deceased a few days ago. Another unfortunate issue, I never got to meet the builder, I only knew him as Wade and sfdownhill did all the interfacing with him, including the only one of us to visit his shop, so I have no way of reaching him directly.

 

I am still in shock about what happened, let alone still in the dark about what’s going to happen with all of his stuff, all his equipment, motorcycles and even those welding jigs. He and I had plans to build up another 5 Gen using a set of headers from this last run and I don’t even know where that bike is at the moment. 

 

In all honesty, that is not my priority right now, mourning the loss of my friend and hopefully meeting with his family soon is. Here is a link to my post announcing this tragic loss.

 

 

OMFG I'm so sorry to hear this. Go ride for your friend, mourn his loss and see his family. If this pics back up it picks back up when the time is right. Now is not the time.

Hey I'm starting to look into building my 5th gen. I saw this first production run just went out not long ago. Is there any intention of doing a second run and if not could a custom order for a single be placed with the shop that made them in SoCal?

Hey y'all. I'm unfortunately losing roommates and the owner of the house we live in is trying to sell so he wont give us a new lease. That means I'm losing my 2 car garage 😭

If all goes well, the place my partner and I applied for today will be a go and I'll down size to a 1 car garage. I have 2 bikes I need a trailer for. A totaled RC46 I keep for parts and an RC36 with no wheels that I'm parting out. I'm willing to pay a rental fee with cash or beer. I have a truck and a ramp but the truck is tall and I'd rather not have to do a sketchy push up to the bed. Please DM me if your in the San Francisco or East Bay area. I'll come pick it up and drop it off in a day. I have all the straps and rigging needed to lock it down. I just don't want to pay the several hundred dollars a rental might cost me.
