\"DSC_8309\"
\n<\/a>The bike came in for inspection, and we’re installing a banana silencer and fabricating a muffler bracket.

\nFirst masking, second masking\u2014that’s how we minimize risk.
\nBefore we start… should we go with \u25a0 or \u25cf? We’re torn between materials and design. We prefer something clean and understated.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07517\"<\/a>
\nThis time we’re going with a hanging-type design mounted to the rear suspension.
\nSince it’s a single piece, we chose a thicker pipe. By heating the pipe and bending it with an offset, we get dimension and depth\u2014it looks better that way.
\nWe welded the upper boss and let it cool.
\n\"DSC07529\"<\/a>
\nWe positioned the lower side by fitting it to the actual bike, then welded it. We shaped the flange collar to be as smooth and organic as possible.
\n\"DSC07547\"<\/a>
\nWe cut away the excess on the upper side and did surface prep and polishing before sending it out for anodizing.
\n\"DSC07544\"<\/a>
\nThe smooth and organic muffler bracket is done. Positioning takes the most time, really.
\n\"DSC07541\"<\/a>
\nWe made sure it doesn’t sag and doesn’t put stress on anything\u2014clean and understated.
\n\"DSC07543\"<\/a>
\nWe tucked it as far inboard as we could and it’s done. We sent it out for anodizing today, so we should be able to hand it over by the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
