Artin Khoodian no problem man glad I could help

No problem man glad I could help. I've built a ton of those Kent seachange bikes and they are decent. One thing to watch out for in those is the little circle clip that holds on the little sprocket on the rear wheel.

Never thought of that!! Thanks man👍🏼

Awesome glad I could help.

I was wondering the same damn thing

I need to bend my scooter pipe about a half-inch at most. Do you think it's possible without heating it? I don't want to do it while it's attached to the cylinder because I'm afraid of breaking the weld at the header flange or the studs that hold it in place and I don't have a vice so I think I'm just going to wedge it in between the fork in my tree where it V's off and pull on it but obviously I don't want it glowing hot when I do that. I live in an apartment and don't know anyone else who rides here so my options are very limited. I already had to cut the damn mounting brackets to get it to even bolt on the bike

If you get it red hot than that spot will be far weaker than the welds on the flange or your head.

Robert yes the studs can handle it just fine. As you can see I upgrade the studs and nuts to coupling nuts. As long as you heat the muffler up enough it will bend very easy actually

Good to know! Better than how I was going to do it, I was going to cut a V out and weld it back, this is much cleaner :P. Yeah I see those, I will have to look into something similar. Thank you

you can feel if it isnt hot enough. those studs CAN take some torque. keyword: SOME. hot metal bends almost effortlessly. hes got mapp gas and a big torch tip. mine is the smaller, pipe-sweating kind so i have to hold the torch on the spot 3x as long and it still doesn't almost liquify like his did. his was just about to melt through. that's friggin HOT. if it aint moving with easy pressure,... then STOP and heat it more or just take it off. my first bends were done between 2 tree trunks--loool

That might have been the gasket that attaches the exhaust to the engine getting too hot. Maybe take off the gasket, bend the exhaust, and then put the exhaust back on.

Perhaps just excess fuel and premix in the beginning of your header burning off.

You mean like one of those titanium ricer exhaust that have that pearl color to them? Yea that would probably look pretty sweet.

It's map gas used a lot in plumbing for soldering copper

@@johnjacob6774 hmm it's a blue tank though. MAP is yellow tank. nevertheless i got mine bent finally with regular ol propane.

It's probably because your motor is not perfect straight like this one is. Also it could be because different manufacturers of engine kits use different mufflers.

you can also elongate the mounting holes so they look like slots and just move/twist it to where you need it and tighten the stud nuts down.. i gotta bend mine because it sticks way out in front and i want it tucked against the frame/bottom bracket so cops have a less obvious target---kinda like bruce jenner--LOOOOL. pa-doomp-TSSSHH!!!

No

Walmart bikes are good to sell for cheap people like cheap prices

everybody needs to start out on a walmart bike. not a 900 dollar surly

I had a brand new Schwinn that lasted for 2 years. Was recently having the rear end bending and the rim coming off. Figured out the frame broke under my engine mounts. Never know.

Same here. Works just fine and didn't hurt the exhaust port.

Neat Stuff I recommend not doing that lol.

LOOOL

I hammered my frame too. Glad exhaust cleared the pedals.

sounds like a young snuffleuppagus before he made it in show biz "heyyyyyy big birrrrdd"

With time I know that the it didn’t got bend just tilted and makes it leaking air
