Hi.
Anyone have any tips to getting to the rear inner header nut?
Special tool or best standard tool that will get in there?

TIA

Why are you taking it off that far in?

I have custom exhausts that bolt straight into the heads. so unfortunately they don't use the small rear bent pipe mount.
Was thinking of putting a set of cobra swept down pipes or something.
I do have really hi performance twin pipes by jap co called over racing.
With twin mufflers.
They sound amazing. I just think they look a little too japanese for what I want to do with the custom direction.
Want it more semi pro street flavour.

That is a different look! Do you have a small wobble extention for your socket set,or maybe a nutdriver would work. That is a tight spot! Someone else will chime in soon with a better answer for you. One more thought. Would taking the side cover of the oiltank give you a little more room? Good luck.

Yeah I was thinking the side cover may help.
Thinking more on this - those pipes are really fat! Unlike the standard ones under the heat shield, these ones are as big as they look. Might be better to keep them and find some more streamlined mufflers that could fit?
Would be a shame to put some inferior ones on for the sake of looks... hmm...
ANyway, will see how it all looks when I drop the rear a couple of inches and add the mortons 7 degree..
Ideally I want a 21" front wheel too reowr!

Sounds like a good plan! It looks like the actual pipe ends right after the wrap. What about a couple nice tips on there?

How much Power do you lose by going to the twin but unconnected pipes with the loss of the scavenging pulses between the cylinders?

BrutalPancho · 11-19-2012, 09:49 PM

Yeah a couple of baffled pipes with slash cuts would look cool I think, If I can find some the right size\
Bigjohn- I don't know about scavenging pulses although I know some twin pipes have a crossover for this I think? But these pipes by Over Racing are apparently setup for major performance coup-led with the under tank BAK.
