Just finished the exhaust, I used the 2-1 section from BMW F800S plus the rear section, a bit of old Ducati 749 pipe for the link pipe and the rest i fabricated from 38mm stainless Mandrel bends. I got 105 deg for the top bends and 55 deg for the bottom bends. I had to cut close to the bend for the top to get the downpipes close to the engine. In doing this i found the pipe wouldn't slip over the exhaust stubs. The diameter of the tube is reduced in the bend and a couple of inches either side. I had to weld a short section of straight pipe at the manifold end, bit fiddly getting correct angle. All fits ok, have strengthened can hanger now and will make a support underneath next.



I managed to weld using a stick welder, i now have a small inverter that goes down to about 20 amps. Made these welds at 30-35 amps using 1.6mm stainless rods.

Been working on cooling system now exhaust is done. Bought TDM850 Rad which has a pressure cap thinking i wouldn't need a separate expansion tank. Now the rad is mounted as high as i can get it, the filler is not the highest point on the system so will need a small expansion tank to fill from. Ordered a RS125 one that should do the job. Fitted some hoses but need some more bends to plumb the red in neatly. Its very congested and tricky round the water pump area.
