HOW TO BUILD A MOTORCYCLE EXHAUST WITH BILTWELL’S CUSTOM EXHAUST KIT
A motorcycle is a valuable asset and should always be maintained and taken care of. This includes making sure your motorcycle has a well-functioning exhaust, which can be customized. Making your motorcycle exhaust system by yourself is not a difficult job if you have some basic piping tools and clear instructions. You can choose the look, color, and finish of the exhaust system you want. So, how to build motorcycle exhaust? Here’s a step-by-step guide to building motorcycle exhaust systems.
This was originally written by McGoo from Biltwell. It was posted here with his permission, and is a nice tutorial on how to use the Biltwell Builder Motorcycle Exhaust Pipe Kit to make a killer custom motorcycle exhaust for your chopper, bobber, tracker, custom Harley Sportster, Triumph motorcycle, etc. You can use this same tutorial with many different choices of motorcycle exhaust fabrication pieces we have available on our website.
BMX kingpin Chris “The Mad Dog” Moeller at S&M BMX solicited my help to make some new pipes for this infamous Black Widow. S&M BMX builds their own high-dollar BMX bikes in their own building right here in the US of A, so we had skills (shop manager Jason Balls, himself a chopper freak of some repute) and equipment at our disposal.
Chris and I are old BMX grease monkeys, but we put our heads together and dreamed up a pipe set for his new motor in a matter of hours using only a Sharpie, a piece of welding rod and our (half) wits. Here’s the blow-by-blow from last night’s shop session:
STEP 1: PREPPING YOUR WORK AREA & ROUGH DRAWING
Prep your work area. As you can see from the photo below, a work area can be the floor of the garage, or a lift in your pristine, personal motorcycle workshop.
A lot can be accomplished, when it comes to custom motorcycle exhaust fabrication, with an angle grinder with cut-off wheel and a welder!
