![]() Yet another one of my Swiss original finds from an old man. Was fitted with a full fairing from new, also a top box  Tank had holed (Europe had Ethanol in fuel years ago  ) Frame a bit of damage from battery being left in and no vent pipe (a few years were my fault  ) Swing arm holding on to its original paint except the ends, ideally needs powder coat for regular use. Engine had been rebuilt in the past with few miles. Very quiet. Good compression and goes very well for a little bike. Pulls lovely with the working power valve. It only runs thanks to an IgniTech CDi unit! Oh and the blurb about those is true. It starts better and throttle feels more responsive. Front and rear spindles zinc plated and a few bolts that were grey.
Ridden 4 nights in a row now. Slow speed limits over here with some uninspiring roads, so not losing out on fun.

This is how I finished another EX full fairing bike. The 350 lamp, Rentrec Grill, Hel brake line were from rdlccrazy and with a few genuine service parts. I'm going to build another one , nothing special just cosmetic, so looking at discs and pipes from Norbo as well. That Turbokit is over priced , needed a fettle to fit, but I liked the look. Those lamps are so much better down country roads!  |

Bike looks great! Is that turbokit exhaust the same as the ones from Yahoo japan? I've often looked at them, there's one available for £180ish - the others are 300-400! Bit of an outlay if they turn out to be pants lol.

Cheers! The Turbokit is from Spain. It goes ok, loses a bit of low down for pulling away otherwise it would need a Dyno to get the best out of it I reckon. The quality is like say a Deluxe Gianelli, nothing special, very light. The Silencer is nowhere near the quality of the Tyga premium edition, which makes this pipe overpriced. The Japanese ones I've forgotten the name of, they are also low slung but with more angle on the stinger? The shop website said they were sold out when I found them. I think Norbo here at rdlccrazy has some Nikkons |

Hello,
I tried the Turbokit exhaust because it comes with documents to be somehow legal in Germany. As museumman states, the bracket does not match with the mounting at the footrest plate. This exhaust is way too loud for road use. I started the engine, sound and volume of the sound reminded me of being in the paddock of a motorcycle race.

Brigitte Hi, I've since tried the TK pipe on another bike with a better motor (my grey one lost compression) it's a lot better. Are you selling yours? Michael  |
