There aren't many manufacturers of hydralically formed pipes (Jahspeed, late Mikeck .....) so it shouldn't be too hard to identify (famous last words).

Yep, It' looked like a 'repair' on Martin's pix, spring hooks look in ther right place (two missing) but slip-joint to main section 'not quite right' . There was a lot of 'OK well put your name on it' swapsies and trades going on..so maybe someone bought and 'sorted' Mikecks belly sections so they did not clout the frame every time you took the bike off the stand?Lambretta Sash wrote: but the u pipe seems to be of a different style.
Have you tried it yet to compare with existing pipe ? be interested in results.

I have little to compare it with Sash. Perhaps I should pop down to Jah's on Saturday. John is only about 10 miles away.Lambretta Sash wrote: but the u pipe seems to be of a different style.

I've got to say the the slip joint doesn't strike me as a repair, in the flesh.Yanker wrote:Yep, It' looked like a 'repair' on Martin's pix, spring hooks look in ther right place (two missing) but slip-joint to main section 'not quite right' .?
I do hope it is a re-manufactured Mikeck pipe, cos I like Mikeck pipes. There is no evidence of dents anywhere on the pipe. It is very tidy. I might try fitting it at the weekend and see what it does (rev, I suspect).Yanker wrote:There was a lot of 'OK well put your name on it' swapsies and trades going on..so maybe someone bought and 'sorted' Mikecks belly sections so they did not clout the frame every time you took the bike off the stand?

I doubt I can find any pics of the 'blown' Mikeck, the Jah pipe (curly) is having a kinda 'sump-guard or 'skid-pan slider' for the vulnerable section: then off for HT Powdercoat: so probably 2 weeks wait for a snap I'm afraid. If it revs on and then on some more and your left-hand starts to cramp over the clutch lever...it'll be Mikeck derivativeKnowledge wrote:I have little to compare it with Sash.
