  I have decided to pass on the pipes as I have 2 sets now, and I have about 10 winter projects planned and then save the money for Drift in......but your right I can ride down to Richwood, GB can wash and polish my bike for me while I rest, then his wife and I can go over to Petemoss for the BBQ, and Boaski you might as well join us, then in the morning we can head for Drift in 14.........

Here's some pictures of how the pipes are mounted to my bike:


Here are pictures of the rear mount:

Here are pictures of the front mount:

The rear mount had been modified for another exhaust system that was on it so I had to make a simple bracket to mount it back on.

Took me a while to look it up. I couldn't remember how to spell it long enough to type it in to google. Been a long day.

That's what copy/paste is for... ;D

It looks like North Bay is only a 9 hour ride. Get up early on a Saturday & head this way. About an hour to mount the pipes and you can be back home in under 24 hrs.

Greenbarn will even wash your bike when you're here.

Will wash for beer....  good beer

Boaski could you take a couple of close ups of your bracket for me please. Thanks
I'll take a couple close up pictures tomorrow, as long as nobody makes fun of my dirty bike.

Boaski, then you would have loved my 1969 Skidoo Tundra long track...lol.......it was top speed of just over 35 mph. It was slow compared to the rest of the guy's but it never got stuck, I could just let it go and it would go through all the stuff and keep going, and torque on it was awesome, I could haul a qamutiq that would bog down the rest of my hunting party. I could haul a full moose out with it on the qamutiq.

Have you seen the Fordson snow machines?  I've watched several vids on them, and have to say, that was pretty darn cool.

Yes, my helmet has been cinched a little tight.

I used to have fast & newer, but I just like the old stuff. My dream "sled" is actually a Model T with the White snowmobile conversion. So far the price has been out of my budget.

I have no shortage of projects. I have a tried and true restoration plan.

1. I see something
2. I convince myself that I need it really bad.
3. I find a way to acquire it.
4. I bring it home and stare at it in the bar.
5. I decide to restore it.
6. I take it apart...
7. See step #1

BoaSki - those are pretty cool, I must admit.  Not cool enough to get me started on another hobby, but I can see you have some cool stuff.

BTW, I found a picture of one of Ratman's early snow machines....
