ok so, i changed to a larger muffler on the back of my expansion chamber which led me to lose 50% of the power in my bike.... Not good. So after a bit of a chat to some guys on these forums ( you know who you are :D ) I got to work

this is what i was greeted with when i cut it open...


Needless to say it was a bit restrictive so i set out to fix that...


and here we have some new sound dampeners to be put in

and here we are



now i forgot to take pics of me fabricating the tether but here's what it looks like welded on



and the finished product so far




Needless to say i need to borrow a mate's angle grinder and trim the edges so to speak and after that i'll be painting it.

Yet to test, i guess that will happen on the way to class in 8 hours :p

Bike works beautifully.

estimated speed now is 60km/h ( keeping up with traffic on a 60km/h road) on the flat 41t sprocket NT-speed carby Rock Solid 66cc engine.

I now want a 36t sprocket so badly :D

Looks like that'll be alot less restrictive after your mods, quieter too.

Kudos for Arc welding on tubing without blowing through.

(keep an eye on your plug:p)

hehe, yeah it's quite the challenge to arc weld on 0.25mm tubing. especially stainless.

Today the stock welds blew off on the front large tubing mounts.... that's the last time i buy something and use it with such pitifull welds... although the bike was going quite fast at the time.

front mounts were held on by approx 10mm^2 steel weld.

I redone it to be 65mm^2 titanium welds when i got home today. Should hold now :D
