Feked exhaust
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 3:57 pm
Very dissapointed today.
Tried fitting the "F5" pipe supplied by Feked as suitable for my '47 G80.
It dosn't fit, by a mile! Even if it could get through the footrest and the gearbox casing, which are in the way, instead of running straight back on the level, it would point upwards by about 15 degrees.
I phoned the man and he checked and said the ones in stock were all the same and he'd had many happy customers, I'll bet none of them tried to fit it to this bike. Its a standard, iron head 1947 G80 with coil valve springs.
I can get my money back but where can I get an exhaust that will fit?
Armours only seem to list a high level pipe. Looks good but it will fry the pannier bags. Fortunately the old pipe is sill usable but not at all pretty. Anybody know another supplier? or sombody who can make a pipe up, probably in stainless once the bike is up and running.
I have offered to ride over to Feked and let him see how his dosn't fit.
(dissapointed also that the pipe came with slits at the head end, as if it would have a clamp fitted)
