Title says it all...
I'm curious to hear how this baby performs... I'm guessing good, being a simonini.. but... yeah...
anyone tried 'er out?
Comparison to say.. a ninja or a doppler?

I am running one on a stock bike and it goes 40 so for stock it is great, I plan on putting on my 70cc kit in the next week so I'll let you know how it performs against my 70cc moby with a doppler pipe.
word. that's exactly the kinda info I'm lookin' for :D
I'm thinkin' that if I can't get a Ninja to work right on my TSM, that this'd be the next best option ^^;
Tom did you have to modify it to work? Pedals? Mine doesnt bolt up to the rear mount and the silencer hits everything it can find to hit. Also the springs have nowhere to mount on the cylinder and the "hooks" on the pipe seems to need work as well. Im going to make it work as a few others here have described but it doesnt seem a bolt on in any way.
and casey those TSM's are junk. let me take it off your hands. pretty please.
I had to bend the silencer slightly to fit and I think I bent then header slightly as well, it was real easy though just used my bare hands with someone sitting on the bike. Also the little rear mount pivots so that you can get it to fit better and I might have slightly bent the header. It wasn't exactly a bolt on operation but for a french moped it was about as close as you get.
damn really?
But I think both dan hill and snordly, respectively, dibs'd it a while back :D
I'll hopefully have 'er runnin' faster for this years blood drive than last...
last year... we got 'er fired up the night before the rally lol after, what i'd guess to be like a 4 year nap :D
but she made it pretty solid =P
The pipe rips. My buddy, Gabe tore all over Flock Yeah on his without the silencer for the most part. Tom is right, it's really just a very small amount of insignificant bending that you need to do in order to get the pedals to clear.
What I'd like to hear is a comparison between the Doppler and Simonini.
Ben you have a leovince which is like a doppler, how does it stack up to Gabe's 103?
Also, i'd LOVE to see pics of this pipe installed :D
tom, how is the mid-range, low end? where did you notice big impreovements? is anything else done to get it to 40? bigger carb etc? I just bought one to go on my sachs, i'll probably install it tonight, but i wont have the wheels done for a couple days.
fuck pedals, go for the doppler, that curcuit crap is for babies.
I'm kinda a purist re: the whole pedal thing lol... I gotta have 'em.. regardless if they work or not =\
But.. the pipe for the TSM is possibly a different situation.. because the layout of the frame/swingarm/engine placement is a bit different from the 103... So I don't know what will hit what, or where...
I'd prefer to run a full-sized, baby-eating alien snake pipe, just cause they look sick lol and perform better.. but ya...
I was just curious :D I'll make somethin' fit regardless ^^
the simo looks really freakin nice. i'm expecting a nice broad powerband with good midrange, perfect for a daily driver stock cylinder. a kit would probably pull up your powerband a bit, but the pipe probably wont be a mega screamer no matter what.
Hey, Tom -
It's tough to say because I'm faster on pretty much any good kitted bike than Gabe since I weigh about 45 lbs less than him. But, as far as I can tell, the Leo Vinci winds up into the power band as quick as the Simonini and probably has a little more to give on the top end. All I know is that when I hit 40, the pipe in addition to the Parmakit just seems to find another gear altogether. It's like I couldn't put a big enough carb on there. It just wants more and more fuel.
= Awesome.
I would guess, however ,that the Doppler goes even better on the Moby. Gabe's performance setup is so nasty, though. Water cooled Polini from BattleScooter, quad reeds - it's much snappier on the throttle in all ranges than the Moby which is just piston ported, you know (no Av10 for me....). But when it's in the powerband, the pipe and the Parma together are very, very powerful.
Your pipe doesn't hit until 40mph on a variated bike? This is far too late.
You can pedal past the Doppler pipe on a Peugeot if you just buy the wide pedal arms that 1977 had. No bending or fabricating.
Also I love this "Fuck pedals, go for the Doppler, that circuit crap is for babies."
unfortunately, 1977 mopeds is sold out of pretty much everything o.o;
So my French distributor. Welcome to Winter.
lol word =\
I am just running a stock cylinder with a 16mm sha carb with the bigger reeds and the simoini pipe. I would say the pipe is mostly a mid/upper-mid range pipe, it doesn't pull into the high rpm's like my doppler but is still a real solid pipe for the price.
hey tom, i am about to run the same set up but had a few questions. did you cut your intake manifold to allow clearance? also, how did you get the pipe to bolt on the the stock cylinder?
I got one of the malossi intakes which it sounds like is smaller because I didn't have any carb clearance problems. To mount it I made an adaptor there is a thread on it floating around.
i can't find the thread, do you have pictures or a link?
