Have just got myself a project and this is part of it. It has tax and test and I not got the other donor bike yet so will review it before butchering it! [
]way too many pics today to post them all so here is the album on photobucket in the post below

that maybe better?
Looks like a good project Pete. Here’s a couple of links that might come in handy.
Expansion pipe design, including software to help you design a pipe:

https://www.datafan.com/TunersHandbook/2-strokefiltered.htmlI had a cheeky spin around the car park earlier and can confirm that this is a very nutty motorcycle! I can only imagine how bonkers the latest incarnations are 12-13yrs on!
I think my Facebook status says pretty much everything about my first “legal” (lol) ride on the orange beastie:

ok: wheelies; check…. stoppies; check…. jumps; check…. scary fookin power delivery; checkcheckcheck…. OMG giggling; check…. hands and heart still shaking from just 10min on the stupid stupid bike; check!
went into the garage this afternoon to find this:
I pulled off the spanny and cleaned up the zorst mounting bracket and engine casings, then reassembled. I also put a 3rd spring on the zorst so hopefully that has solved the issue. Next ride will show if it has or not
It certainly helped. Will get a new gasket when I get round to it and hopefully that will completely fix it.
The engine has just had a rebuild so is still effectively being run in, am going for the hard run in to maximise power hopefully, once its got another hour or 2 run time it should be quite a beast indeed.
The Mito I was after am guessing is no longer available as the owner isn’t replying to messages about it. I’ve put a Best Offer on another non runner but think the seller for that is dreaming if the expect to get over £1k for a non runner when there are immaculate fully sorted bikes going for the same money. Have offered then £450 to start with, we’ll see
Looks like I’ve found the donor bike so this is not gonna be a very long review! lol [

You can review the conversion when it is done. I love the Mitos styling. You going to get a fairing for the mini 916 look?

will be very helpful when I get the donor rolling chassis
