cracked frame

[demeester]

I believe that the argument with pipes is not that they load the frame, but that a single pipe takes away the support that two pipes provide. i.e with only one pipe, a pillion climbing on and off who uses the pillion pegs to hoist themselves up actually causes the back end of the bike to "twist" and this flexing does not occur to the same extent with a two pipe set up (and here we were thinking the bike should support the pipes...)
