I don't reckon that was your first go at an exhaust hey?

Welcome aboard mate.

I really like building stuff. The header will be for my Streeter what has turned out to be a long term build << paper work issues. But that's all cleared up. And on to building a new bike. I have a Stock GS1100 and a Ex-Dragbike that's street legal. It's also a GS1100 based platform, It has a 1225 kit and a old ATP Turbo kit with a SS Carb. The GSXR is going a bit different route, In it's layout. I bought very nice used Kehin carbs I have complete Dyna Ing system, I am going run a frame mount head light off a 81? I think that's year the retangular one. I have already set up the handle bars with risers >> I have a real bad back << can't do sportbikes. I built my own bars new rear set plates mounts Gas Tank is going under the seat, Battery going under tank with all the electrical stuff. I cut 2 1/2 inches out of the tank and welded a flat sheet to the bottom. Then cut a out inside leaving a 2" boarder for strength around in inside to give tank some thing to sit on the frame with. I am going to run the stock 1127.

Where is the turbo going?
If you can build a header like that you can fit a turbo

Hi Lathe header is 2x2x2 high side pipes . I have already built the megaphones and cone insert. Cones are mild steel inserts are Stainless. Just of a bit of weapeness on the megaphones. My very close friend Tom Sauter passed many years ago . I collected a couple of things from his shop and the cones were some of the bits. I thought I would save them for some special. This bike build is going to be a build from, all I have learned from Tom--Gary Steen and his son Jason and Ron Berganholtz . The Steens had a awesome chassis build shop, and i learned many things about tubing and design plus layout of your build. I thought about a turbo set up but wanted some thing that could sit in traffic with out getting hot.

Mine doesn't ge hot unless the weather is stupid and at the drags doing run after run.

That looks like you hate your right knee and want to burn the fuck out of it haha.

Hi Lathe As I said I learned a lot about lay out of your project. Building EXH systems was one of are specialties. This system is going to laid out just like a Mile/Half Mile Bike. some run up systems some run down pipes. With the up pipes you use heat blocker cloth or heat wrap with a heat shield over that.
