FAQ #23: Can You Fit Twin Pipes ?

 

Whenever we demonstrate Turbospoke at fairs and shows around the world, one of the most common questions that we get asked is:

"Can you get one with twin pipes?"

 

The simple answer is NO.

 

However, this gave us an idea and one of our team here at the 'Turbospoke Technology Centre' took it upon himself to have a go at fitting a second Turbospoke to one of our demonstration bikes.

This is how he did it.....

 

Step 1.

A second universal clamp was fitted to the angled chainstay above the original Turbospoke.

 

 

Step 2.

Because the second universal clamp is attached at such an angle, the exhaust pipe wouldn't fit in above the original exhaust. This is where things got tricky. Because the exhaust pipe is made from plastic, it is possible to use a heat gun to soften the plastic and re-bend the exhaust upward. By doing this, it's possible to make the second exhaust pipe fit into the clamp and sit parallel to the lower exhaust.

 

 

Step 3.

With everything in place and the new exhaust left to cool down, the second clamp was tightened into place and both clamps were loaded up with Motocards. Needless to say the sound is twice as loud it looks very cool.
