Be careful when heating the pipe. I did this years ago and the plug (which I had safety wired into place) shot out like a shotgun blast. Good thing we had it pointed at the wall and not one of us. Argon is better to pressurize the chamber with. Michael

If that area gets rusty, it will be hard to remove later. Better to install a seal or o-ring. Michael

I've always used a 16t. I am changing to a 15 now because I really like pulling wheelies and don't need to do over 110 MPH....EVER. It's fun but not worth the tickets and risk. Light to light and corner to corner is all I care about any more. Peace...Michael

I have found that the pipe usually leaks aroung the area where the flange mates to the pipe. I use this stuff called Chamber Seal for this area. Been using it for many years. Michael

I think what you'll find is that aethetically there are very big differences.

One Metric horsepower (PS) = .986 American horsepower (HP). Still 90 Horsepower out of a 250 is pretty unreal....from the factory. I don't know if they can squeeze more out of it but I bet someone does. Michael

I say go ride it and report back to us. By the looks of it, it will be a short ride....I do not see room for a fuel cell. You may not need asbestos underwear but one of those tiles off the space shuttle for a cup might be warranted. Peace...Michael

They always run Grreeeaaaatt right before......BOOM! Welcome to the forum. Like T-Rex said though, why so close to the edge on the mains. Only a dyno can see the difference and it is tiny even then. May as well be safe. Imagine locking up in a corner! Peace, Michael
