Zongshen 200GY-A, rehab exhaust question - Page 2

As I think about it more, if you cut the rear half off, gutted it and welded it back up, nobody would see the surgery scars.

Just For FYI I think mine was empty from the factory . I check before I cut it ,a wire coat hanger . Maybe you will be lucky

recracer: Ok I will check to see, thanks, good point.

Weldandgrind: Hmm, I might be confused about orientation. I've lined up the pic again. Do you mean the black, or green lines? Heh Do you mean either the black or green lines?

Thanks! I'll be coming back to this as I'm elbow deep in the rear end and discovering more exciting things to fix. A post about Sprocket bolts coming up...

See you soon!
Jim

I didn't explain myself well. I meant that you could cut the top off and leave the rest of the pipe intact. Hopefully the red lines give you an idea of what I mean.

Oh like a little access hatch. Roger that. Am all I'm expecting to see is honeycomb? Seems easy enough. Then the midpipe is the next part to start fabricating. I'll post pics of the task unfolding if I can remember.

I still haven't hangered it yet though, I've been un-taping all the hand taped parts of the harness looking for breaks or my chopped starter wire.

And I think I have discovered this bike was probably jumped off of something and the frame was broken and re-welded. I uncovered some welding wires poking out of a weld down in one of the frame joints and some welds on top of welds on the opposing joint. If I find cracks I'll need to attempt to patch them before I get all put back together. That's another topic again once I get that area of the bike clean enough to tell. Plus the swing arm makes contact with one of the passenger peg frames (which I'll prolly cut off anyway.)

Well there it is, I will gut/weld the cc and then ask questions about a mid-pipe and a PM about a muffler.

I'll be back!

Woot Thanks!

As a point of trivia, check out the honeycomb catalyst that was hiding in a China scooter muffler: http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...ghlight=pastor
