heres the 300 with its new shoosher on. it looks fully sick.
the new one is about 150mm shorter, it should git a bit more bottom end snapB)

and theres a spankin new set of S12s on her. with h/d front and ultra h/d rear tubes.

dead sexy:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

chunky!!!!

i got the tyres and tubes fitted for $290, and the pipe off ebay for $90. its only 10 hours old (alegedly). i opened it up and the packing looks pretty new…..too nice!!

Looks good mate and those S12 look great they are such a good thing

First time with a S12 front mate, its special first time, dont rush it

I had a good day working on Lochie’s 85 as well fitting bits and pieces, was good practice because being Kato’s I will be doing it heaps

Good job Menace, longest weekend out next April mate, no S12 rear for that, need something hard.

She looks mean mate. Shame the rider looks like a fairy though

I reckon you should get some decals for the fork guards to make here even more ‘racy’

Menace how’d it go, improve the snap off the bottom end?, might run a bit lean on the pilot with normal jetting, Mine did but maybe not as every bike is a little different

Excellent price too, they’re a couple hundred new and well worth it at that.

Bit of trivia Flying Machine Factory was founded by Marty Moates the first non-european to win a Motocross G.P. riding a stock YZ465 out of the back of a van with his best mate as his mechanic, Marty came and raced in some of the early supercross in Australia in the early-mid eighties and was loved by Australians for his easy going manner. Unfortunately Marty took his own life several years ago either on, or just short of his 50th birthday. Was and still is one of my all time Bike heroes.

Was discussing short silencers on the way home from a ride yesterday. I always thought shorty’s improve bottom end. My astute colleague with more knowledgeable years claims it takes from the bottom and gives to the top end. Anyone with practical experience confirm what the effect is on “current” model 2smokes?

Sorry it would appear your “astute” colleague is WRONG, short silencers on a powervalved smoker improve bottom end response and torque dramatically. In days gone past they were referrred to as “supercross silencers, as supercross riders need instant boogie to clear the large obstacles on those tight tracks with little runup. A long silencer will help top end, this is not to be confused with “baffling” and this is where people get confused about 2 stroke pressure waves. A 2T pipe that is well designed and has a good integrated silencer/muffler should have a constant “push/pull eefect in the right sequence of waves to firstly.
#1-Allow the gases to escape and expand as they heat up in the chamber.
#2- create a back pressure to push the fresh intake charge that overfills the combustion chamber and into the header section of the pipe back into the combustion chamber.

Which is why a 2 stroke has far more volumetric efficency than a 4t.

Good explanation Blucee. Then again I’ve come to expect nothing less from you
