Started as a 28mph 103-U1. Currently gps'ed at 60mph top, reliably cruises at 55mph.
Tyler Brekke:
So shiny
Josie Comstock:
well, I did a few things actually
I polished the head and cyl. gasket surfaces down, so I don't need a head gasket
(and it gives a little increase in compression, it has 130psi cold),
took the lip out of the exhaust port,
put in a Meteor 50cc piston,
put the Malossi intake and Polini reeds on, popped the restriction plate out of the exhaust (its basically just a straight header to the back cap of the canister now),
then re-angled the exhaust exit pipe's tip for more direct flow.
other than that I just made sure to be really OCD when I rebuilt it.
Alek Bergquist:
So I've got to ask, what did you have to do to derestrict the exhaust and engine?!
Josie Comstock:
its a custom seat. I cut a wooden seatpan to the outline of the rack, then had a friend upholster it.
it turned out really good.
Alek Bergquist:
what kind of seat is that!?
Josie Comstock:
My points ignition has failed me for the last time.
Finally running a cdi.
