Default Anyone need Harley Exhaust pipes

I was helping a machine tool dealer close down his business over the
last couple weeks (Dimension Tooling, Santa Ana, California) and wound
up with a couple trailer loads of Stuff

Amongst the odds and ends are about 6 sets of new, or nearly new what
appear to be stock Harley Davidson motorcycle exhaust pipes. All
appear to be in excellent condition, with little if any rust, and only
a small bit of blue. Id assume these were factory pipes removed for
replacement with customs

Anyone have any interest in the whole lot of em?

If they dont fit a BMW R90/6..I dont have any use for em. Id consider
a trade for a couple sets for a set of mufflers FOR an R90/6 btw...

you might be sitting on a lot of money if they're original hd, and off
a pan or shovel head model.

Want to run with the big dogs? Keep it up and Ill treat you like one
of the guys. And it might hurt your feelings Maam.

I rode with a club in 1974...and decided that the folks were too crazy
for me to ride with. Id not been out of Letterman Hospital too long
when I went back to Michigan, and visited an army buddy who was a
member of this particular club. He sponsored me in. Shrug.

The dudes were animals. The women were worse. Mean drunks, mainlining
junkies and speed freaks. I didnt mind the "excitement" or the
occasonal gun fight..but it was the idea I might wind up in the
graybar hotel that tended to put me off a bit. I managed to be
somewhere else during the robberies and whatnot..but even though I
was something of an adrenaline junky...when they told me to run a
couple keys of heroin into Fort Wayne..I decided that they were a bit
much for me...and I very quietly pitched my tent, left my colors
behind and bailed. It was a fun year..but...I didnt make two tours in
SEA to get killed by a junky, or by one of Sonny's soldiers in a turf
dispute, or wind up doing hard time in Jackson State Prison.

Now Maam, feel free to hold just about any stupid opinon you care to.
Based on some of your previous ones..Id expect more of the same from
you. And it looks like I got another one.

As for calling you names...I dont remember calling you Bitch. Did I?
Im usually much more polite about keeping those sorts of opinions to
myself, particularly in regards to females.

As to who I rode with..ever heard the name Lennie Braund? I recall
hearing he came to a bad end in a bank robbery or some such. He was
president at the time.

As for Harley parts..its been years since Ive been on one of those
pieces of ****. I prefered Trumpets, though did own a 54 panhead
once. It was a year younger than me, springer front, pill seat,
suicide shift, hard tail, medium ape hangers. ****ed with my kidneys
bad on Michigan roads. It had a sissy bar with crossed
bayonets..removable and sharp ,which came in handy once. Shrug. I
sold it not long after I left the club..didnt need the hassle I got
from the cops, and bought another Bonneville with the cash. I sold it
a couple years later when I got married and was traveling with an oil
and gas exploration crew. Too hard to drag it along. Shrug. Rode
Hondas off and on, for some time after that...then went to BMWs and
never looked back. Ive long lost the need to be a noise and shine
biker. No need to have an entire wardrobe with HD logos to prove
something to weekend bikers. Nor do I have any need for a
"lifestyle" based on **** motorcycles and fad. In fact..Ive not had my
scooter on the road in at least 4 yrs. Its way over due to be started
again..been more than 6 months since I blew out the bugs in the jugs.
Thanks for reminding me. Ill probably have to rebuild the Bings pretty
soon..they dont like sitting for years. I do still have a 61 Indian
sitting in my dads garage in Michigan. It is really a Royal
Enfield..but sold badged as an Indian. If I could figure out how to
get it out here to California, I might clean it up, get rid of the
slugs in the tubes, find an original seat and tank, and restore the
old girl. I swapped a Duc Diana for it. Im not sure who screwed who...

Dad rode my M20 for a few years then layed it down on a gravel road,
then sold it before the scabs came off. Damit.

Now if you have something to constructive to say Maam..have at it. If
not..just remember you claimed to have kill filed me a year ago..so
go ahead and actually do it instead of shooting your mouth off. If I
wanted to listen to a woman bitch and whine, Id talk to my ex.

Dont you have some nagahyde and fringe to Armorall? Perhaps paste wax
that custom paint work on your tank?

Btw....this may be of use to you...

Gunner,
Having read what you posted, I got to say good for you getting out of
that trap. Seen some friends go too far down that one way road. It
seems alot of those folks really miss the point about what riding is
all about, they want to claim freedom when all they are is a walking
billboard. Most of them are a bad as some of the fundamentalist x-ians
in their turn their nose up in the air attitude towards someone who
rides something other than a hawg.
I think it will be real funny if Cali. gets rid of the helmet law and
all those people who bought their 25K + cookie cutter choppers and $700
leather jackets from the harley clothing store at the mall... you know
the corporate laywer types who have been keeping this fad going.. who
else can afford it? Has to sell them because their wife won't let them
ride without a helmet and the image they want to project will no longer
include a helmet...lol

yep, good to hear you got out, we send a lot of HD machined parts to
the local prision to be polished, cheap source of labor... those guys
live for polishing those parts.. becuase it's the closest they get to
being "In The Wind" for the next 10 to 20.

Gunner,

You've got a beemer and haven't been riding it?
Shame on you :-o

If it hadn't been for motorcycling I'd never have gotten into metalworking.

Sigh..yeah..I know. After my second back surgery..I had a lot of
problems riding. Id be crippled up for an hour or more after getting
off the VF700 or most bikes. So I sold it to one of the local
lawyers. A couple months later one of the phone co. guys I ran with
called me up and asked me if I wanted a Boxer...cheap. So I went to
look at it. It was a father/son project..they had taken it apart to
clean up, repaint yada yada..and had never gotten around to putting it
back together. All neatly labled in 4 large boxes. So I gave the guy
$600 on a Wed afternoon, and Saturday I rode it over to Bakersfield.
And my back felt Great! It had 35,000 on the odo when I got it..and
it now has 187,000 miles on it, I rode 90 miles everyday to and from
work for well over 5 yrs, plus poker runs, etc etc... But when I
started doing the machine tool repair thing, being on the road 5 days
a week..I had too many honey dos on the weekends to ride..so Trudy got
covered up, and pushed into a corner. There is an early 74 Honda XL
350 next to her that I started turning into a desert hunting
bike..that Ive ridden exactly 4 miles on also. No time, and since the
recession and the ex leaving me broke etc etc.little money. But Ill
get to em sooner or later. damnit.

If it hadn't been for motorcycling I'd never have gotten into metalworking.

I wonder how much it would cost...hummm THANKS!!

My sister is a serious biker, lots of charity runs, her boyfriend is a
shriner biker, from what I understand one of the bigwigs, rides in the
parades..does the formation riding etc..out of Oak Park, Michigan, so
I guess it tends to run in the family.

H/D pipes? Post to rec.motorcycles.harley, they are a decent crowd
there.

As far as your poor R90, do it a favor, take out the plugs and
give each jug a shot of oil, turn it over a few times so all the
valves are closed, and put the plugs back in.

I've had to help several folks recently with pistons siezed up
tight in the bores, from sitting. Not pretty.

The Bing CV carbs respond very favorably to some TLC. Just buy
a gasket kit from Capitol Cycle and also a new set of diaphragms.

P'Blaster was what freed mine up. Even on the centerstand, one of the
jugs got wet enough to stick.
