Living the dream
I have taken advice of the majority of the forum and acquired a set of TORS to upgrade my R3T rather than mod a set of pipes so that I can get to use my ride with no down time. I found a pair looking in nice shape on ebay for the tune of $220 shipped. The pics showed a small scuff on the bottom of the pipe and mentioned a small dent. On receiving I examined the pipes and found the mentioned scuff and small dent next to it that when installed would not be visible. So happy happy right ? Well not to be, I found a fairly large dent on the opposite end of the pipe that will be very visible. These pipes look like they were not run and have next to no carbon on them. So it might be that during shipping they may have received some damage. No major marks on the box to support that but it might be possible and I do not want to accuse the seller of hiding it. I'm on a bit of a budget and would like to pay this bike off so I have been acquiring my wants for the best prices I can find. I don't know if I will be able to find another set of TORS this new for that price again so I have been thinking and wondering which leads to my question. Has anyone opened up a set of TORS? If so how is the packing inside? I'm considering drilling a hole in the end cap and attempting removing the dent from the inside as one would with the paintless dent removal procedure. Then once removed either thread and bolt up or weld the hole closed. The area where I will drill will not be seen once installed. Thoughts please?
