BEEN FANTASIZING FOR YONKS ABOUT TITANIUM PIPES FOR THE SKIRTSTER . . . . DROOLING OVER THESE PICS I'VE RIPPED FROM THE 'RACEFIT' SITE HAS ONLY FUELLED THE DESIRE !!!

I KNOW THERE'S NOTHING VAGUELY 'PERFORMANCE' ABOUT THE PURPLE PENIS, FAR FROM IT IN ALL ACTUAL REALITY, IT'S A MODERATELY QUICK SMALL TRACTOR, HOWEVER . . . . THE TITANIUM FIXATION IS SOMETHING I'VE HARBOURED FOR YEARS, THE LOOK, THE COLOUR, BOTH NUDE AND WHEN EFFECTED BY HEAT, THE WELDS WHEN DONE BY A CRAFTSMAN, THE WEIGHT SAVING AND THE SOUND JUST KNOCK ME THE FUCK OUT, SO DOES THE COST, I KNOW THAT . . . . YOU JUST WATCH, ONE DAY, ONE DAY.

  1. Sweet exhaust, but for the love of God Whitey, post a pic of the whole bike, looks awesome.

    1. Not sure if they could afford the entire bike shot mate, what with the costs of all the stock . . . will explore further.

  2. I keep thinking how good one of their Legend exhausts would be, as the finishing touch, on my old rusted, knackered GPZ 900R, that hasn't turned a wheel in many years, ("run before you can walk" sound familiar?).

  3. racefit are just up the road from me dog, about ten miles in fact, they produce some really, really nice bikes, but, a word of warning, titanium and harley davidsons don't mix very well, ben, [the most handsome man-in-the-world] jones has a pair of big-bore racefit pipes on his bike and they fracture around the exhaust port, ben's on his third set now, just saying, might just be that the ti they use is very thin, race-spec stuff that would probably be ok on a japper four, but, you know how hd's destroy everything through vibration, probably be ok with a thicker wall though......

    1. You're so right Timmy, that thin wall Racefit stuff is the highest quality which apparently is the composition so predisposed to vibratory embrittlement/fracturing as as well, even old Mick D has said the same thing re race scenarios at Honda . . . the thicker walled stuff, which is what I'd use, is cheaper and a lower level of purity as well from what I can gather, still, I love the shit soooooooooo much !!! Good to hear from you brotherman, trust all is well at the temple of the false Trumpies.

  4. Always stainless steel...been thinking about fabbing up a set from of all things...those stainless grab bars you see in the 'loo...yeah, not as exotic as Titanium....but at least they won't rust away like thin plain steel...
