Outsourcing

The 'mono is off for a multi-day sleepover at Cycleboyz.  Dad was kind enough to ship the Jardine exhausts I bought for the bike to me direct, and now the 'boyz are building me a header for it.  As per the Yoshimura system, I am going with a 1-2 system, and using the twin CRF250 exhausts from Jardine.  The plan is to start off with a 1.75" header, and then split off into two -- 1.5" pipes to each muffler.  Everything is as short as possible, with the cans exiting just behind the rearset pegs.  The cans are currently mocked into place using some aluminum strap, and a proper stainless bracket will be fabbed, using the rearset plates as pick-up points.  Hopefully will look pretty neat when all is said and done.  Of course, the whole shebang will be made out of stainless and tig-welded.  So we're gonna do it right this time!  Pics to follow -- Kate has the camera.
