And then right away, I extended them even longer  cooldude



Punisher found some industrial supply place where you can order pipes that have the same inner
diameter as our piggies outer diameter. I dremeled in a couple of opposing slots on the inner
ends of the new piggies so that the hose clamps would have something to squeeze down on.



It appears that Honda didn't need to care if the piggies came out of the backs of the
pipes exactly square and plumb, and I'm not all that expert at running the cut-off saw
to make the angle cuts at the ends of the new piggies, but since it took all day yesterday
and some time today to get this far, I'm declaring victory and moving on to the next
thing...



My triple tips have seen better days, I didn't take care of them on the bottoms... anyone know
of a good set for sale?

Who lays down to see the bottom of exhaust pipes anyway?

Once or twice a year I do, but I just scrub with soap and water and maybe polish a little and call it good.

Clean um up with some of those soap impregnated steel wool pads realy good.  Will take off a lot of rust.  Then wax the heck out of them and keep them waxed.
