I'd really like to have upsweeps with fishtails like the old choppers, but in the mean time I think I got a plan. Paughco makes some belltip mufflers with a fifteen degree upsweep, not much,but I think that would be enough to get the pipes more level with the swing arm on a lowered bike. Thought I'd stack them one on top of the other and run an extension pipe from the front cylinder pipe and cover it with a heat shield. Don't know how that would affect the engine with one exhaust much longer than the other,but we'll see. If it doesn't work I won't be out much cause I already found one of the mufflers on ebay for fifteen bucks.

Good Luck

Tom

hehehehehe - a philosopher at heart among us! Yeah been there too, ol lady gone over 25 years now, and off the booze almost as long, but boy, a good smoke and look over the shoulder at the bike on the way to bed is what dreams are made of - often thought of upswepts on the bobstah - will be curious to see what you come up with! Hang in there and keep those dreams - life is what you make of it, and sounds like you're doing just fine!

I have spent a many nights stopping by and just sitting. Far from sober, cigarette smoke in the air, I find myself looking at the bike reflecting,. The first ole lady has been gone for 11 years. I am so thankful for that blessing (da bitch).

I have since found what I was looking for and more than I deserved in the marrying of my second wife. Because of her, I have my Harley. Because of her, I am an optimist. Because of her, I must lie about my next mod (j/k). Good **** alwaysprevails, if we are willing to wait long enough.

while you're smokin' that final cigarette before you go to bed, not quite sober and a little beat. Gazing at that bike while you're needin' sleep.



Thinkin' you're about finished with the mods,but you see a thing or two. Upswept exhaustsare stillin the planand that set of tins you scrounged up stilll need paintin' and you need to quit spending money before you get in too deep.

Last Ol' Lady's been gone a week or two and you're not really lookin' forward to goin' to bed, but you know works calling earlier than you want it to.

Rather hit the road and not look back,but you gotta pay that child suppport and take care of that boy that's still at home with you.

Life ain't bad,but it's been better. Bikes still rollin' and reckon I will too.

Good Luck

Tom


Is that my old Vette next to your Harley?? I sold it to a guy in Bama a few years ago. j/k, mine was a couple years newer, 1980. o/l been gone 15 years now, smoke cigars not cigs, child support ends in 3 more weeks, already cut back from 70 hour week as manager to 40 hours as flunkie, those road trips are getting closer!
