great photos and awesome build again Jos.
what gearing are you running and do you like it?
hows the powerband with that pipe software? is it like you thought it would be?

14 - 49

Power delivery is smooth. More than I expected! Surprised by that! Can ride a sandtrack by using the third gear only. No clutch needed.

Sounds like you were staying up a gear? My opinion, that's the way to ride a 500. Make it tractor and put the power to the ground. Wheel spin gets you nowhere.

[Jos197AF]

That's right!

jos,
how thick was the sheetmetal on the pipe?
how did you roll it? with a sliproll?

[Jos197AF]

Exactly.
Thickness 1.0 mm. But you can choose for 0,8 mm also.

thats a very nice pipe. power should be nice and broad. lots of length and cones arent too steep. i just had one built as well.

nothing beats the looks if you can keep the rust off them. theres some decent high temp clearcoat out now.
