MOPED ARMY

Yeah it is lonely here. The only other person I've found is a guy in Lincoln that I bought the Garelli from. Sometimes it's nice just out cruising alone but I would like to find some people. I think I'm gonna just have to buy a bunch of peds and sell them to people to ride with me.

did you happen to notice the last login dates? lol i've already emailed those people and got no response

I want pics! And a description of the range, please.

treats hq ebay store! great guy! extremely fast shipping!!! Pics will be posted tomorrow

I didn't have to bend anything just cut the pipe on the end of the expansion chamber and cut my header pipe down then just decided where I wanted it and welded it. I also wrapped the header pipe in exhaust wrap to try and keep some of the heat out of the tranny case. Kinda looks shitty but I know the use lmao.

Here's the pic finally kinda shitty but it's cold out.

nice, nice.

i might be building one of these pretty soon, good to know your results. I've seen these run with two piece biturbos, anybody out there ever set one up with a tecno boss or bullet? How about a homoet 4p?

I set my garelli up with techno boss, I used the stock header, cut the boss at the start of the expansion pipe, and used radiator hose as a coupler. It seems to work fine for now, I was able to rig up the bracket to the original mounting location, its not bad. Should weld it this winter though.

So your pedals clear? How is your heel clearance? Do you have any problems hitting the chamber with your heel, or worse, hooking on the silencer tip when pedaling?

I am asking because I have been planning this for a while, and this weekend I cut up my tecno estoril. I fitted it up and now the pedals clear as planned, but it looks like I will have this problem. I put my boot on the pedal and gave it a go around and It would definitely take some practice to remember to hold my heel out. The distances look about the same as your bike, about two pedal arms from the crank to the exhaust tip, and my foot is definitely longer than a pedal crank. Does yours just not stick out as far as it looks?

I was thinking about shortening the stinger anyway, maybe sinking some of it into the chamber. I will probably cut a third of the bend off first so the silencer curves around the swing arm and sits like this /, then maybe another third to try it like \ sticking out a bit past the rear wheel. Maybe even almost straight out kind of like a bi-turbo will look ok, but I think I might have to sink the stinger if I wanna maintain enough backpressure.

chad

what carb and what size jet are you running with this setup?

Oh and what intake are you using? I have 2 garellis with noi

motors. One has the squared off right angle intake and the other

the round (Better?) intake. Also do the minarelli ones on 1977

bolt right up.

I was thinking of doing something like this and any help as far as

what parts i should start trying to gather (assuming I can get a polini kit at some point ) would be great.

Eric

so whats the latest on this set up

damn, i gotta login here more often

finally picked up a polini kit and a 16/16 dellorto.

I still need some kind of intake. i was drooling over those pipes

when treats had em. would it be blowing it id i put on the kit with

the stock exhaust temporarily?

Yeah not much has really happened with this bike. I have a puch that is getting more attention right now(still unfortunately a small amount) I dropped a ton of money into a new bicycle and am trying to be relatively conservative with my spending. I think you would be prefectly fine with a stock pipe i mean there are the obvious benefits of an expansion chamber but in my opinion a regular pipe would do just fine. As for the intake i worked a puch 15mm to fit, the holes and the clearances were off so i had to make the holes wider and also grind off a bit of material at the ninety degree bend to get it to fit, it should work well. I also need to fix some small things and hopefully it will ride again, Best of luck with your kit and everything, hope it works out well.

im running an #82 with a polini and dellorto 16.16

Just to give you a reference point.

I would also suggest regearing your bike because the stock SSXL back sprocket is HUGE.

was going to start a thread, but hell i'll just post it here.

Andy or anybody? Did you actually get any instructions

with your polini kit? If so can you scan em and post them.

All I got was some warranty info in Italian. Probably no

biggie but would be cool to see them if there are any.

Also, what if anything did you guys do to prep things before

bolting the thing up? Chamfering? Ring edges? I don't think I'll

be blending the ports or anything. Thats probably way to advanced

for me at this point. I would most likely screw it up and then be

bummed for weeks and weeks.. hahahaha

And a final question. I would love to here some break in polini stories. Stuff like. Well mine went really well and I did this as far

as prep and break in and i did this and my kit got screwed so

don't do that.
