#1008260 Jlb76 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1609 Is it possible? 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I was getting ready to order some Vance and Hines Short Shots so I can install my Dchopper bag brackets when I started thinking. Can I cut my HK Big Straights and put the baffles back in and use the same end caps? I have two sets of these pipes and one has a crack in the heat shield toward the back so I'd try it on that set fist.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008261 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

If I put tape where I'm cutting would that stop the chipping? Use a very fine tooth blade, but the cut will always be raw metal. Just use hight temp black or silver paint to put a nice thin band around the end and call it custom.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008282 Jlb76 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1609 Re:Is it possible? 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Thanks for the input guys. I'll give it a try tomorrow.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008305 BigB (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 245 Re:Is it possible? 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Once you expose the raw metal underneath it's only a matter of time before your finish goes south. There's a set of shorties in our area for $250.00us. Before trashing yours perhaps think of what the net cost may be - perhaps even breaking even or profiting from a buy/sell. Once cut they're yours.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008313 Horsehammerr (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 847 Re:Is it possible? 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Shores wrote: Jlb76 wrote: ultrastar wrote: Shores wrote: If the diameter along the pipe is the same then why not? +1 and your going to chip the chrome and then comes the rust I didnt think of that.

Tape around the cut area to protect from marring from the rollers.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
