Using the same Delkavic headers as yours on my Z1R project.
Yes the ID is 2 1/2" .
After looking at your cool bike have decided to go with this meg.

Yep like DCC. They buy those from Cone Engineering ( www.coneeng.com ) who has their entire catalog online and you can buy from them as well. They have a variety of sizes. I went with 2.25" for the previous mid pipe, so now it slipped inside the Dekelvic which made a nice TIG joint.

Started cleaning up, machining a plate for my seat release. Then started pulling the bike apart. Interesting deadlifting the engine with straps and one arm out of the chassis. Got it onto the motorcycle lift. Blocked it up and mounted it to my custom engine cradle.
It fit pretty well. Using front and rear mounts. Then to get it to the engine stand. Had to get creative since I don't have a cherry picker. A garden hoe, and my tool box, levered the whole assembly up in with the other hand worked it into the engine stand. Took two attempts....
Noticed where the tanks was rubbing on the frame bracing and my cables. Will need to work on rubber pad placement and cable routing.
So that is all for now....engine work to begin and powder coating in the next couple weeks.

Hey Wayne, long time no chat! Yes, that and the ZRX are the other rides. Bought and modded the Connie due to my wife taking an interest in riding with me and wanted a bike that is appropriate for two up comfortable. If you get one, you won't be disappointed.

Hope you are on high ground with all the rain hitting your area.
Maybe we need to do a feature on Kool Projects as well as BOTMs
I have been enjoying your build since the start.

Thanks Dave for the kind words. Yes, we have survived due to sandy soil and "higher" ground here in the low country. Once I get eh foam worked out, will just need to glass the storage pocket into the tail and then the bike will be in pieces for powder coating, so won't be much to see!
