Default I gutted my stock pipe!

After talking to you guys about the my jetting and how its supposed to be for an after market pipe I got to thinking and talking to Lou. I took some of his ideas and some of mymine and came up with a great solution.
I started by grinding the endcap, stainlessand cylinder offthe end of the pipe.ThenI ground the3 welds that held in the packing and slid it out. I then slit the cylinder long ways and removed the remaining baffle plate. Next I knocked out the plug in the packing, and placed it back into the cylinder and rewelded. I welded the split back, and rewelded the cylinder back onto the can. I then made a tipwith 1-1/4" piece of galvanized pipe, welded it on the endcap, and cut a hole.This will take out original tip and remaining baffle.
I then welded the endcapback into place, riveted the stainles, painted, and VVVRRMMM!! Night and day difference in the bike. Iused a flux core 110V welded. It turned out better than expected.
I didn't get to take any pictures,sorry about that.

Hey, when push comes to shove and money's tight, a little ingenuity goes a long way, doesn't it?

You guys crack me up!

Big Lou, again, thanks for the help and advice. This bike is exactly where I want it. I may down size a little in the jetting. Right now I have 128/40. It feels good, but I want to see what the 35 will do just for sh$#'s and giggles.
