A very basic system, but it's just a little Summer day blatter.
Hornet, the pipes should miss my leg as they are, but I've got a chrome heatshield for the top pipe anyway, (a Harley one, originally bought for Taz's trike).

Good job there Mr Manky. Just an idea....would it be possible to cut both of them a little bit,so you could kink them inwards to miss your leg,and then swing them back out again.
they look fairly up against the case as is I think

I used a couple of offcuts of rubber fuel pipe to space the pipes apart & also to space the bottom one up off the alternator casing, so there's about half an inch of clearance.

andy the pipes look really good and do look perfected on a twin small baffles and no more perfect
but will be very warm for your leg
did you get the flange for the exhaust or the thicker pipe that goes into the head if that makes more sense
from the bend supplier and also who did you use

I AM FITTING A HEATSHIELD.

I cut the last couple of inches from the original downpipes to give me the flange that pushes into the exhaust port.
Just typed "pre formed exhaust bends" into Ebay & it brought up a whole bunch of companies selling them. I've used 1 1/2" I/D tube.

Andy, I think those cable tie mounting brackets might be a mistake.

That's why knee high leather boots are popular with the lady bikers
