BMX kingpin Chris "The Mad Dog" Moeller at S&M BMX solicited my help to make some new pipes for this infamous Black Widow. S&M BMX builds their own high-dollar BMX bikes in their own building right here in the US of A, so we had skills (shop manager Jason Balls, himself a chopper freak of some repute) and equipment at our disposal. Chris and I are old BMX grease monkeys, but we put our heads together and dreamed up a pipe set for his new motor in a matter of hours using only a Sharpie, a piece of welding rod and our (half) wits. Here's the blow-by-blow from last night's shop session:

Step 1: Prep your work area

Step 2: Make your rough drawing

Step 3: Create your basic shape with a piece of welding rod

Step 4: Install your header flange and start picking your bends

Step 5: Tack your little bends and straights into shape

Photobucket

Step 6: Assess your progress by installing and reinstalling your pipe as it grows
