Pipe Centre is probably best. Plumb Centres probably only do copper or plastic

Heres the linkage I built to allow the throttle cable to enter at a better angle instead of vertically.  My tank is mounted on the back of the trike,but I've seen a few bike tanks with a notch cut out to clear the carb. |

the 1 3/8" erw (1" bore) and 7/8" pipe are proving a bit illusive! anyone have a source where i can get about 3m of one and 1m of the other? the guy at my local plumb centre looked at me like i had two heads when i asked for it.
Have a look at this, longer than U need but check out their store. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150765466486?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649I just bought that for my handle bars, should come in the next few days, its expensive but I hope it will look the part when painted or plated  PS look for tube, not pipe. As I understand it tube is measured by its outside diameter, pipe by its inside diameter. So 7/8 pipe will be slightly larger outside and may not fit your mounts? |

Put a spacer between the carb and manafold to move the carb out. or try to get one of these   it moves the carb away from the engine  and it sits a bit lower  |

ah cool. the bars on her are cool but if i get a bigger tank on there they might not clear the tank. if i do bend up new bars they will be very simular to the current ones which are very cumfy |

So Terry, are you going to tell us where you got it from? Put a spacer between the carb and manafold to move the carb out. or try to get one of these it moves the carb away from the engine and it sits a bit lower |
