Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Extremely nice! How do you go about jigging something like that?

Jigged the silencer bracket up for welding.evan_calgary wrote:Extremely nice! How do you go about jigging something like that?
Had to break it down to weld inside the bracket.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Wholly custom! Do you take all that fun stuff to a shop to have welded? Our local place around here is $150/hr minimum...
Re: RZ350 Super Motard
I usually tack it myself, then take it to someone for finish welding. My welding is iffy, and I don't like taking chances with machined parts.evan_calgary wrote:Wholly custom! Do you take all that fun stuff to a shop to have welded? Our local place around here is $150/hr minimum...
Roger Green is one of the best welders on the planet. Charged me $30 usd for 4 welds.
Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Silencers freshly welded to the silencer bracket. 8 welds in total.
Need to clean up the welds, then figure a way to jig up the exhaust tips.
Need the tips in position so I can measure for 2 machined spacers.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Been working on connecting the exhaust tips to the silencers.
More difficult than I thought to do it right. Making tight curves is more difficult with tubing vs. making rolled cones. With tubing, the angle cuts can only be slightly different - otherwise the edges won't match up well. That's why there are so many sections on that Ferrari exhaust pic I posted elsewhere.
It's even more difficult because I need a small, tight "S" shaped connection.
I started cutting and shaping some small pieces, but I don't have the proper tools to make accurate cuts. To get it right will take lots of trial-and-error, and some luck. My hands are fucking sore today from working on stainless tubing pieces.
Now trying something different.
Designing a titanium bracket that will bolt onto the subframe exhaust tip holes. The bracket will have threaded bosses to relocate the exhaust tips. Maybe I can get a better angle to simplify the tip-to-silencer connection.
First, I need to fabricate a bracket that is adjustable for height and width.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
what about fabricating with water, ie hydroforming these?

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Whipped up a quick bracket for a test.
Looks like I'm on the right track.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
The 4 pieces of tubing are cut to identical size and shape.
Starting to get a good fit, so I took measurements for the adapter mount.
Will start with aluminum, instead of titanium, because it may take a couple of tries to get it right.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
There's a nut on the tail that's not easy to hold in position when installing - so, I made a couple of 10mm nut/flanged collar pieces out of grade 5 titanium.
