    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey errbody, I've been hibernating too long!

Anyway, I'm getting ready to repack the Dime City mufflers on the bike, and while I was at it I pulled the headers off to swap the header bolts for studs. Looking inside the pipe, it gets REALLY small, like a pipe within a pipe small - where I cut the pipes to slip my part store special 1 3/8"-1 3/4" OD adapter pipes onto, I cut probably the last half inch of the other end of the inner pipe off.

Now I know this is a small engine, probably displaces less than the typical cup of coffee. So it isn't gonna exhale as much. But I can't stop wondering if a pipe without the inner pipe would increase power any since I've put on straight-thru mufflers, larger "intermediate" pipes(those adapter pipes between the mufflers and headers), pods, and dialed the jetting in accordingly?

I understand that might mean yet another rejet, which is fine since I need to raise the float level on the starboard carb anyway. Thanks for any input yall may have!

Anyone?

I may have a look at the inboard header pipes on a 550 or 650. Crap, I might even see about borrowing a TIG welder and doing up some stainless ones, who knows?
