Marc B: top speed as it sits right now is 55 (gps'd). that's with an unmatched athena kit (a crime, I know) and the stock carb with 92 jet


Marc B: Yeah, I definitely considered keeping it like that. Would love to see that scheme on another bike!


Harvey Knight: Your mock-up just gave me an idea, chromed frame and subframe, yellow fenders, perfect.

Marc B: Hmm. not really, like I mentioned above I had to bend the baffle on mine a little bit to get it to fit and not hit the side covers/kick stand. I also thought about cutting like a 1/2 in off the end that bolts up to the exhaust since when I bolted it on the thin flange that's on there just bent. But it's on now and no leaking so ain't messing with it.


frank zammiello: Great bike! Any advice on getting my circuit exhaust to go on easier?


Marc B: Top speed update: 37mph (gps) with notched variator.


Marc B: It's nice enough - the fit was not great as the kick-stand hits the muffler when it's up; but I just bent the exhaust very slightly and it clears. Top speed (stock variator and at 5000' altitude) is mid 30's. I'm re-jetting (little lower for altitude correction) and going to notch the variator - will repost top speed when I get it dialed in.


Eames: how do you like that exhaust? top speed?
