MOPED ARMY

holy shit! i'm about to get one. like right now. i'll let you know how it does.

Tempting but I've already got Leo Vince pipes for each of my hobbits.

One of them runs great with the stock exhaust anyway.

I just bought the proma, I will let you know how it works out.

Haha sure thing Davey.

What are your hobbit specs?

Mine is pretty much a stock 81 paII.

All I have currently are the boyesen reeds.

Dang, I might have gotten my hands on a hobbit and hes out already.

Chris stewart I love you more everyday. I'll let you know.

Tommy, you get those hobbits from Lancaster?

Dude, I looked at em Tuesday and walked away. If I'd known somewhere here wanted them...

totally rad. the difference between this and the stock pipe is immeasurable. pretty good mid range pull, and it added about 6-7mph (etimated, i used the holy fuck i'm passing you so much faster now method against my buddys monza gt). i need to gps it. i did lose a little low end, but not enough to bother me. next we'll see how it works with a kit on this bitch.

aaron, hows the proma working out for you?

did you upjet? you definitely need to.

ben!!! i'm really interested to see what that proma does. post some results when you get it on there!

My hobbit was running 'ok' before. Four stoking alot and running very rich. It would get up to 30 but would four stoke and not go much past. Also it didn't like to idle, but i think that was an intake air leak.

When I installed the pipe I put Red high temp RTV (as mentioned by a fellow MAer) on all intake surfaces (reed block-crankcase, intake-reed block, carb-intake).

With the new pipe and intake seal the hobbit runs awesome. It only four stokes when going down hills at full speed. Not sure about the top speed as my speedo cable broke. I assume its around 35 or so judging by traffic.

Low end is really sluggish but once its start moving the mid pull is awesome. Good top speed cruising.

The low end is the biggest issue right now. I think that is attributed to my low compression. the last test i did it only had 90psi. I have new rings and gaskets to rebuild it.

I also was to check out the variator, I don't think its operating at 100%. I think I hear the plastic caps rattling around in there.

Those are the next projects.

But as far as the pipe goes: I would say it was well worth it. Install was easy, build quality is good and it very much improved my ped.

-D

Sick.

Thanks, man.

The Honda I was going to put it on went away...so I'm going to wait.

Fix that compression! It'll run like a champ with 120psi or more.
