Mechanically inclined person in columbus, oH??

[adamld83]

Hey all...so not the most mechanically inclined person and since this ducati is new to me I dont want to start cutting into the pipes even with the plethora of posts on the subject. Anyone willing to do it for me in the Ohio region? I'll buy ya a 6 pack!

[cyrus buelton]

I'd be glad to help you out, but my mechanical skills are pretty weak and I am not sure what you are asking.

Metallimonster will gladly do it for you. 


Are you looking to cut your pipes to a shorter length?



You will find a plethora of people in Columbus who own ducati's at:

www.desmohio.com

I am sure someone there will be willing to help for a few beers or just meeting a new club member! (not sure if you are involved with Desmohio yet or not, but you should be. Great group of people)

[metallimonster]

I doubt I would be willing to cut and core your pipes if that is what you're looking for.  I would gladly help you install new ones or do any regular maintenance stuff.

Shoot me a pm if your down for a ride.  I know a lot of good roads in the area.  Maybe Cyrus, You, and I can hit up a Desmohio event soon.

Just thought I'd volunteer you since I am giving you a $3,000 grill for free tonight 

I can also help with pipe installation. I've done low and high amounts, along with installing a new header, which is a motherfuker and a half.

incorrect sir. I do not charge to help.

Just like a neighbor; Jud is there.

Man Ive got a lot to learn. No had no idea there was a club in oh. Will def look into it. Thanks guys! Def down for a ride. Relatively new to all of this but have been drooling over ducs forever. Picking up an 06 s2r 800 red/white in absolute mint condition. Cant wait...already have 300$ in mods on the way in the mail. So...any takers? Judd?...you up for it?

[metallimonster]

Still wondering what exactly you want to do with it.  Core the pipes and shorten them or what?

I'll watch and give some tips but no way am I taking a hacksaw to another man's pipes.

Where abouts in Cbus are you?

Do you have a garage to do it in?

[velocipede]

FWIW I'd recommend just coring the third chamber at first, just to see how you like the sound.  I did that on my 620, and I thought it sounded great.  I've got an MTS 620 now with baffled Termis, and I think it sounds very similar to my old Monster.  I commute every morning I can, so any louder would have been a bit too much, I think.  And if you're looking for riding partners in the C-Bus, pm me -David

haha I understand. I am downtown. Yes I have a garage but not all of the tools for the job. I am just looking to remove the 2nd chamber to give it a better sound. Ill hit you up velocipede.Where are you located man? ..and werent you the guy who had a friend of a friend selling an s2r 1000? or am I mistaken?

[metallimonster]

I probably have most of the tools you would need and we can do it at your place.

I was a mechanic for a few years and can use my hands pretty well.  I guess I would be willing to give it a shot as long as you know ahead of time that it might not come out perfect.

I work downtown and am willing to ride anytime.

[adamld83]

Good deal man. I am picking it up this friday. Appreciate the offer and I would be willing to give it a shot. I'll let you know when. Are you attending the motohio ride on sat? It is for the nationwide childrens benefit downtown.

[cyrus buelton]

So you are replacing the stock header with the udder with an aftermarket one?


I did that mod on my S4r so I can definitely do it for you or show you how to do it. Doesn't matter. Either way, it is a make the beast with two backsing pain in the ass.

I think I still have some exhaust silicone I used on the vertical connection as I couldn't get it to fit properly without leaking.


Tools for this job are basic.

A couple of metric hex heads and a metric socket set.


I can't help this weekend as I am going to the race in Indy, but the following weekend I am free.


Where did you source the new header pipe from?




Can a mod move this to Accessories and Mods for us?

Cool, I'm really close to downtown, myself...little neighborhood called Old Oaks, just south of Old Town (Livington and Parsons area).  If you see a red GT1000 or a black 620 MTS around downtown, it's probably me. Yeah, I'm the guy with the friend-of-a-friend. I think it's still for sale, if you're interested, but I'm guessing they're not in a big rush, so they may take a while to get back to you. 

[adamld83]

Cool  I will keep an eye out. That is  NICE bike. I just picked mine up on fri...06 red s2r 800. To cyrus...just trying to core the exhaust until I can afford an aftermarket...thanks for the offer though.
