    i have an inner rotor ignition coming but its not here yet , so i will run it in with the stock ignition

    The orginal carb was not big enough and its hard to fit a intake manifold to these bike so i made my own one

    I have a lazer pro coming for it as well as a v-force reed
    I cant put it back together until it arrives as you cant take the intake off this engine with out removing engine

    No its going back in my zip
    Im building it to race around the streets in the gold coast of australia
    They hire them out here and so people are always riding these around it just going to be fun when there is a pack of about 8 of the same bikes and you tear there lips off leaving the lights

    Well its going and going well
    pity the right pipe hasnt turned up and i have to run a shitty Gianelli base model pipe
    its got alot more grunt but i cant tell with this pipe seriously it sucks balls and the engine will not rev with it
    Its designed for a stock 50 and i have a mid race 70 on it

    I put an open airfilter on it and fux me it was loud
    So i have gone for a highly modifed stock box to keep it quiet
    I will post pics of that as well in case you guys want to try to do it to your own as well
    It basically taken any restriction right out of it and still kept it quiet

    Cant wait to get the inner rotor ignition on it as well as the vf3 reed as well
    This baby is going to pop stands everywhere
    It will try and pop the wheel now and some times it will do it but not always
    If i lean back even slightly it will reach for the sky but being leaned back it feels real werid and i dont like it at all

    Got different clutch springs coming to make it burst up on to the pipe as well

    looking good, i like the inlet manifold you've made, i'm looking at doing the same kind of thing with mine. i would be worried that the manifold length between the carb and reeds is a bit long though? not sure if it has and adverse effects.

    Well scooter is going well
    I am buying a 21 mm dellorto
    I got the ok to run ok but it could be better
    I ma working on a pipe to work with the timing i have
    The lazer is ok but i dont think it pulls on hard enough for me
    the pipe goes flat about 1000k and i want it to pull on harder

    Here is the chambe i have welded up so far
    I know it looks rough but its just a start and after i have done it and tested it , modified it etc
    i will make a better one
