Ha, that reminds me that years ago my muffler rotted off my old truck and I'd finally got a ticket for excessive noise. I didnt have any money and ended up instaling an old beat up Macio 501 chamber I had laying around. I drove that ol 69 chevy that way for quite awhile.

Lol we improved the design with a new angle and expansion chamber design so you can ride with two hands on the bars lol, I'll upload that soon, camera needs charging.

it's almost as cool as my 1" stainless tig welded exhaust (one of the pluses of working a winery and being bored)

Either that motor has no torque or your clutch is roasted. You were flooring it and it wasn't moving >.>

OBTW, I think these carbys can be swapped with Clone 6.5's, or the manifold to run a Mikuni.

Well the motor is 2.8 HP so no powerhouse to start with lol. Just about all the doodlebugs you can hold back with your hands on the bars while at WOT.

Oscar we were on a warm up stand for a junior dragster, so the wheel was off the ground.

kenny you must be doing this in the off season. my brother is running an rd400 in a 500 ninja chassis. his chambers were bad so he is running the kerker slip-on, sounds like crap and has no bottom end. i finally rode it today, he has a bit of work to do to get it anywhere near road worthy. if you gouge the throttle, the kickstart kicks you in the shin.
