KH pipes

[Bernie Blundell]

Is there such a thing as siamese pipes for the KH ? If so has anyone got some for sale please

[will_curry]

They certainly were available at one time - my 1955 KH has a set which I rather thought
came from Armours and were fitted by a previous owner but Armours don't seem to list
them now.

Cheers Will, that's encouraging, will get on with general searching, would prefer to buy from within the club if possible, no great rush but would be nice to have fitted for next Summer so 'herself' can come for rides in the chair.

Ah yes, the delights of going for a ride with 'herself' in the sidecar.

I don't think Amours have ever listed them, not in the last 50 years anyway since I have been dealing with them. I had a nice set made up locally in stainless and I recently lent them to a German friend to get a set made, however they are for rig/plun frame. They won't fit s/arm especially as they were tucked in as much as possible. I suggest you take your bike to an ex pipe firm, there used to be one in the Nottingham area, I used Paravani in Attleborough, don't know if they still do it.

I've had a look back at the paperwork and images that came with the bike but
there's nothing directly related to the exhaust pipes. All I can infer is that they
were purchased some time prior to 2010.

Many thanks for doing that Will, also thanks for the picture, having seen that I wonder if Huntmaster pipes could be 'caused' to fit

[will_curry]

Interesting idea. The exhaust stubs on the heads are the same size and both
appear to be horizontal. Tomorrow I may have time to pull out the spare
Huntmaster engine and measure the angles of the stubs and the relative
heights in the frame.

That lower siamese set-up does look like the Huntmaster siamese pipes that Armours do, I've not seen anything similar from anyone else.
I've got a set on my FH and they need to be 'caused' to fit on that so maybe they'll fit better on a KH

Edit: Oooops, got my Huntmaster pipes from Armours, not Feked! Changed the reference above accordingly.
(And as well as not having quite the right port angle they also seem to be not quite tall enough for the 650).

Thanks Will & Simon, this project' is coming along, I have the KH, I have 'herself', I have Watsonian chair, on Friday will collect Avon fairing for the bike, pipes wil be 'the icing on the cake'
