A local tube bending shop might be able to help with this. Using a mandrel while bending will help to keep the pipe from collapsing on it's self.

These are both 2-stroke expansion chambers. I don't think anyone will have specific mandrels for this. I have had one straightened before. The guy is Nashville. So to avoid paying $45 plus shipping 2 ways, I'm going to try it myself. Mine isn't caved in bad its just bent out of alignment. I think I can do it.

I have a 24yo reason to travel to Nashville Frequently. I'll be glad to deliver and arrange pickup and return. We burn up I-65 a couple times a month.

I had to realign the pipe on my 200 a month or so ago...it was bad enough that both O-rings were visible outside of the exhaust flange.

I put it on my workbench and started by wedging a prybar between the headpipe and expansion chamber, and progressed to a 1" piece of wood tapped into the gap and levering until it was back to "close enough".

I have a stock tinfoil pipe, though...YMMV.

This was the video I saw prior to doing mine and figured, "That looks easy enough for Mongo to try". I used wood where he used metal.

That's exactly what I need to do. Thank man.

In the video he blames it on the guard. I wasn't running a pipe guard, so I no longer believe this myth. My bike did flip down a hill and try to kill me as I ran for my life. Good times.

I see the time posted was befor 7:00 or after 7:30.
Question is will it be ok to stop in like 3:00 or so? I'll leave T-town after lunch in a company cage due to small mishap yesterday. I won't be on my bike. I had planned on  ridding up to Wheeler to get the tag, But that will have to wait for another trip.
Just wanted to check on your afternoon plans. I don't want to show up too early.

I won't be home from work until around 5. I hate that you won't be on the bike!

Depending on how big of a piece you need I would think $30 to $50. The mounting hardware will also need to be sourced. I bent a couple of pieces of aluminum from Lowes into hooks.

Same bike and problem as mine, thanks Kevin!

Just a reminder this is coming up Thursday.

With having to stop to pick up the little one from daycare, can someone grab maybe 3 or 4 Little Caesar Extra Most Bestest Pizzas on the way in? It is not too far from the house.

I will have some Coors Light and I think a 2-Liter of Diet coke is in the fridge. If you prefer fancier or less fancy (bblass) beer BYOB!

[Chuck & Susan]

I should be able to take care of the Pizza problem..... Anything else that might be needed?

[Fencejumper09]

I think that will set us up pretty well!!
