removing the downpipes

[solorider]

that looks like some great work, i think that this will be a fine bike when done.

i'd be inclined to keep the old downpipes for the minute, they could be bolted back in place for when the front of the engine is being cleaned / blasted / sanded / painted....

i will have a hard job refitting the old downpipes,the top fixings are in 2 pieces in a box,i will have to place some pieces of rag in the ports
