Saw an add on the internett for a lifetime oil filter,200ml more oil mmm that sounds good,stainless steel washable filter,yea good,finned housing to assist assist cooling.
Magnet inside housing to collect any unwanted metal,American made.thats it i'm sold on this idea.Not to mention the green advantages.
I jump on the net and order one,hey because i was in the first group of ordes $25US off,sounds to good to be true.You know what they say.
A couple of days later i was having a social drink with my ural in the shed,as you do.I thought hang on,i wonder if the new filter housing will interfere with the exhaust balance pipe.
Email the states with this question.Reply, yes it will.Answer.1 remove balance pipe and weld up headers.2Buy new smooth headers of them.3 4 5 were to replace the complete
system with 3 options they had.Not being the son of Clive Palmer,i wen't for the no cost option,weld the orignal headers myself.Not being a welder it was hard but i got there.
Re,assembale the bike maiden run.slight loss in bottom end power and 20% loss of top end power,im gutted.Email the seppo's twice,they don't wan't to know me anymore,got my cash.
Had a big ride coming up,it was to late to start to try and solve the problem.After much discussion with fellow riders,i concluded the only way out was 1 try and put a balance pipe elswhere. 2 a 2into1 system. once again no cash,i choose option 1.The upshot was the exhaust gasses couldn't escape fast enough out of one muffler.
My bike now has a custom ballance pipe and performance is back to orignal or better.With it being welded,i don't know how long it will last.
