I saw some home made drag pipes on a cb 500, they looked great and sounded great - what pipe material should i use
Some of the home grown chopper builders are using conduit bought at Home Depot or Lowes. It's sold as like fence post or something, and I would look for 1.5"-1.75" diameter. You can also try to see if your local muffler shop will sell you some bulk, or maybe even scrap pieces.
And what paint to paint them black - I hear that some of the heat resistant paints peel off after a few days?
VHT Header paint... and get used to re-painting them from time to time, or if your gonna wrap them, just wrap them first, then paint the wrap.
I have my headders wrapped-just waiting on some ideas on what type of piping to use and how long is a good length for a kz650 thanks in advance mike...
As far as length, I think it's "what ever looks good".
