Most of you have seen the swingarms I've made , well now I'm gonna have a bash at making some upswept F2 pipes to fit my LC.......gonna come out of the tail end similar to the RG500......with any luck. Bought 2 sets of pipes off ebay for a pittance so if I f**k the job up I've still got a useable set. It will also give me chance to knock the restrictor plates out I have also been in touch with Nige Kimber about making some slip-on covers for the F2/R end cans...........for those of us who have dented/scraped cans , it will prove to be an inexpensive answer to rashed pipes. Watch this space

Ditto the interest in the F2 can slip ons. as I just got a set of well used F2 pipes today. But a question; The rust and pitting on the pipes should be recoverable, but what can you do with dents Is there any metal based filler to use on pipes that'll stand the heat and vibration ?

You could drill a hole in the middle of the offending dent and pull it out using a slide hammer or drift.............then weld the hole back up and flat it off then respray it.

I think pabs did some repairs on exhausts if my memory serves me He'll help I'm doing the F2 mod also,Just bought a pair of nice carbon Lomas end cans from Tony at Links Engineering, and I'm in the process of making the bolt on bit that welds onto the expansions and then fit um! I'm doing a practice run on some scabby pipes first before I cut up me nice un's

I didn't go any further than the double skinned part near the end can! so not sure about the restricting plates Are they inside the expansion

Apparently so.......I hope they dont effect back-pressure too much

Didnt find any restrictor plates in my expansion chambers.......however there is a restrictor in the tapered part immediately before the end cans......this cannot be knocked out......its welded all the way round , so I'm gonna have to make my own tapers. I'll post some pics soon.
