Wow thats cool stuff! I wonder if the soundwaves necessary for a 2 stroke to perform would reverberate very good in setup using square tubing. I wouldnt think a square header would make very much difference either but I guess it does!

Square expansion chambers

Slim, a fabricator out of Cali builds a bunch aof way rad stuff. He built this drag bike out a DT400 and I absolutlely love the exhaust on this thing. From what I have researched about how an expansion chamber works I cant really see this out performing a round expansion chamber, but it looks so ins...

I measured to the top of the piston from the deck, got my measurements and came up with an exhaust port timing of 86.5 degrees ATDC via torqsoft. I read in a thread about a page back that (port timmings) that stock was close to 177.5 degrees. Was that not refering to ATDC? Once again, sorry for my i...

did you completly miss what i'd said to do? have you set the cylinder down on the cases yet? see if the piston comes flush to the top with a base gasket on it, measure down from the top in inches, use that software and you're done. Most of us would have finished this by now. No I didnt miss what yo...

Stock cylinder specifications

I am starting to dick around with pipe design for my 500 project. I have some software (2 stroke wizard tuned pipe pro 3) that I am going to use for design and then my plan is to draw it up in CAD, print out a template and then get my welder buddy to give it a shot. Sooooo I started mapping out my c...

Im going to get under my foil hat. I agree this is way timely as well. As far as I know he may have been dead a long time ago. I never see any footage of him that doesnt look recycled or ten years old. Even when it is a "new" video. I want to believe that we just killed him. But really you...

I have been messing around with my clutch cover this last week. Cut the water pump outlets off to fit the fin cylinder and filled the holes with epoxy. Got after the inside of the water pump housing with the dremel making as much room as possible. Where the water pump was is going to be a little hid...

Back on subject. I orderd an 84 cylinder, head, and piston for a good price. Said it might be usable, but made no promises. I am not sure how far these parts can go so I figured I'd snap a few pics. I just wonder if these parts can get me going as far as building and a little testing with the bike a...

I love the look too! Just imagine a great big downpipe tucking under the frame and I like it even more! Thanks guys. My watercooled cylinder is roached. I have no idea what I want to do.
