Another Old Biker Nut!
Hi,
I'm at the point in my project that I'm fitting the exhaust. I bought this rusty project a couple of years ago and got some nice Commando Specialties Peashooter mufflers, Mikes header pipes for stock replacement and some up-sweeps. The sweeps are a popular Triumph part I've learned tonight.
the problem that i found tonight is that the mufflers are 1 1/2" OD as are the stock header pipes. The sweep will fit over one of the 1 1/2" ends, should be the muffler in my opinion for support but now I have a 1 1/2" to 1 1/2" joint at the short end of the sweep and the butt end of the header pipe.
I've looked for an adapter (chrome) and have had no luck. If I slot the adapter, with the short end, it is not going to be a reasonable nor pretty fit into the header pipe.
Suggestions please other than giving you the muffler or pipes so I can buy new stuff!
thanks
