DSS replica downpipes
Clem2112:
interesting...
I "dry" fitted my DSS headers to the system on the kitchen floor. I could see the gaps and general line up was likely not as good as it should be. As you say, no's 2 and 3 almost touching.
I rang DSS at the time - the young guy at the other end said they'd had no complaints about the fit up. Was a bit peeved having spent several hundred quid with them too!
This problem seems strange to me... I got mine in 2010 and the problem remained for 4 years :(
NC pipe benders have been around for years and once a program is proven, the repeatability should be good. An inspection fixture readily shows if a pipe is wrong - make one using an OE pipe and also keep a master to check the fixture !
I'd like to know more about the way these were made.

I did agree a few weeks back to get together a list of questions from us collectively to ask DS directly (as he requested when he joined us on here early this year). Been away so not done it yet, remiss of me I know, but everyone please remind me about the questions we have:-
He is now in the final stages of getting CB72 / 77 pipes re-manufactured BTW, which he displayed at Stafford.
From what I remember:-
1) Progress on replica HM341 and 500/4 pipes
2) Bad bonding / fit of pattern brake shoes.
3) Reminder about problem with aftermarket 750K0 fork stanchions
4) Fit of 400/4 replica pipes.
5) Supply of Yamiya seats/covers (already addressed).
Cheers ... AshD

I got mine from Wemoto and had the same problems - not quite lining up etc. To be fair to Wemoto, after a couple of photos were email, the pipes were collected and replaced in double quick time.
Makes you wonder if they all come from the same supplier...
kenny1059:
Yeah, I was wondering if they were from the same supplier.
