My pipe has lost 6 inches

sorry hoffy but I needed to practice before
chopping yours mate

following strict instructions from the Aussie streetfighters site the ugly dent has been removed well chopped off & the final result from project cut & shut is great! the look is much better & the sound is a little deeper overall i am very pleased
Now before some of the KSRC crew stand back in shock & horror of the fact that a $900 pipe can be attacked with the cutting wheel this was a second hand pipe with a dent complements from the previous owner & the landed cost of this pipe was sub $300 so there is no love lost with 6" missing
more details to come!

Ohh I'm sure !!!

- the small dent on the lower front section is a handy 120mm from the front of the pipe......
There must be something in the air - I am doing a chop job on the RS3 that came with the zorst system from Groggles..........its over 100mm longer than the RS3 that Hoffy is getting next week, far too bloody long. Its getting cut *in half*.....

Rob - I don't like stubbies at all, but that looks shit hot - it really suits your bike. Looks better than an undented original IMO.
Great job
