Re: my RD back to life!!
@Nitesh, Congrats on the build. I've mentioned that US Spec pipes on them. Could you be kind enough to let us know how you managed to fix them on the Indian RD frame ? Cause I am in US with a NOS set of pipes, next time I am in India I would like to get them and plug 'em on.
Cheers
Cheers

Re: my RD back to life!!
Hi Varun, its not that difficult to fit the US pipes...you can fit it in two ways...
1. Fit the clamp of the silcencer near the riders footrest where it joins the bend pipe to the place underneath the engine. Measure the length difference at the rear foot pegs and the silencer back clamps. Make a shaped clamp like this [=o==o=] (you need 2 of them and here o represents holes)where the distance between the holes of the clamps will be the exact distance you measured as the distance earlier. But make sure you are making sure both the ends are at the same level as you have to align the factory provided dent for the pipes to accomodate the center stand.
2. 2nd option is to fit the rear foot pegs first, with teh bend pipe also fitted. Then see whether the center stand and side stand aligns well. If so again make a shape like this and then use it for joining in the place under the rider's foot peg under the engine. This will make sure that the clamp fitted wont be seen outside.
I have got it fitted with the first way and have some pics in my mail. If you would like to see it pls do PM me ur mail id will send it

Re: my RD back to life!!
@JKV,
Thank you very much for the info. I have sent the mail info as a PM. You're a life saver man. I am sitting on these pipes and I didn't know what to do. Thought of putting it over the evil bay but I don't seem to get the time between school and work to keep checking it replying and then shipping it. Will get the pipes home this around and fix them like you said. Kindly, mail me the pics as well.
Cheers
P.S- But for the benefit of the masses here at RDD, can you post the pics here as well ? I am sure it would be very helpful. Why spend a bomb in India for shitty pipes when you can get these pipes for cheap and fix 'em.
