Custom XR650R Exhaust required....

[Langbolt]

Does anyone know anyone that makes CUSTOM exhausts ???

I need a Header that wraps closer to the motor......Like the one in the "Project Stupid Bike: dirt wheels - jan2008" magazine.

I e-mailed CT and am awaiting a response.

This is what I'm trying to replace.....

Thanks

how does it ride

[mikesutphin]

i used a raptor headpipe on mine. i just welded the ends of the 650 pipe so it would bolt up.

Try to get hold of a Big Gun exhaust, their headers (at least on some version of the XR650R exhaust) is made to tuck in behind the XR's frame

Hey, where'd you get that oil tank?

[Langbolt]

That's exactly what I'm looking for!!!

Ya think Big Gun would have a pic on their Website!!!!

Thanks rustyATV!

The OIL tank was built from scratch.....I feel it's still a bit low in the frame as I don't think the gravitational flow is strong enough.

It seems to work....but I've been over heating a bit which is either coolant (a higher pressure cap will remedy as it is a known problem with the XR650r) or low oil pressure......I'm hoping it's the coolant.

Good luck with your swap too!

:D

[rustyATV]

Thanks!

I wasn't able to get a whole exhaust, just the head pipe, but I'm going to try to adapt a Raptor exhaust for the rest.

Yeah, Big Gun's site wasn't any help. I think I found someone else's XR swap and asked. Then I scoured the parts sections of thumpertalk and advrider, and the latter is where I scored the head pipe.

[Langbolt]

Raptor exhaust ???? But you're building a HONDA!!!! LOL

Why not get a muffler for an XR650R and fabricate the mid-pipe to connect it to the header ?

That's what I'm gonna do.....I'll let ya know how it goes.

Have a Merry Christmas!

:D

[rustyATV]

I wanted to at first, but there are a lot more aftermarket Raptor exhausts floating around than XR exhausts, and they're usually a lot cheaper, and I figure the mid pipes are going to be close in size.

[Langbolt]

Hey GOTFEAR...sorry I didn't add a reply to your question: How's it Ride.

It's a bit top heavy...like a raptor....but it's very fast!!! 138km/hr using a GPS.

It totally different than my 250R.....with a 2-stroke you can tell how fast you're going by the sound of the motor.....with this XR650R you don't realize how fast your going till you hit a corner.

It's too bad HONDA didn't built the 700xx like this!

:devil:

[Dave16]

That is one hot 400ex/650! Those plastics can make a raptor crap itself in jelousy.

[Langbolt]

Well....I took RustyATV's advice and bought a BIG GUN Exhaust off of E-bay.....Then I had a buddy of mine supply me with some stainless pipe (he's in the handrail business so it worked perfectly....1.900" and mandrel bends)....then had another buddy Tig weld it all together....It turned out Awesome!!!!

Have a look.

:devil:

[Langbolt]

and another.....

Looks great Langbolt!

Check your PM's.

[Dale512]

That rear brake setup is different lol

[Langbolt]

Dale512:

It's so the kickstarter will clear the rear brake pedal....It works great!

Plenty of stopping power

:devil:

[jcs003]

the airbox is great. that will allow alot of air volume into your motor.

[SWIGIN]

for being so different that pipe is alot like the one i made for my 350rx.

[spanky101]

That pipe looks great man!! Good job, if i lived out west id love to have a 650 hybrid!

[rustyATV]

When the time comes, I might have to email you about a pipe for mine. Stalled for other projects, for the moment.

[Beaudacious]

i also fabricate one off parts

[NED441SUZ]

Those look like they fit a LS1-LS6 Chevy. What chassis are they for? Nice headers.

[Langbolt]

Hey BEAUDACIOUS....

Where abouts in Ontario are you from ?

:devil:

[Flyin_250r]

Theres a few of us from Ontario floating around the site. At somepoint a big gathering should happen at a tracking or something man.

[Langbolt]

Definitely!!! I'm IN

We can have a swap meet and sell off all our spare parts!

Or all go Ridin'



:D

The headers are for my own personal use im slowly building my 88 Sonoma it has a 6.2L l92 headed escalade engine with 2 blowers from t bird supercoupe donor cars been 6 years in the making so far and will probably be another 6 before its done 50000$ invested and im still pushing the thing around the shop cant wait for the day to hear it

[Langbolt]

Hey Beaudacious.....you're in Flyin_250r's neck of the woods.....he's in the niagara area...I'm in Whitby.

Sonoma eh!!!!

I just sold my 5.7litre V-8 S-10 for $2000.

It needed some floor work & a cab mount.....The guy I sold it to thinks he paid too much.

I bet you would have given' me that in a heartbeat!
