I can't stop playing with these bikes. What a great platform to build from.

JWilcox,


I noticed in your first pic that you've shorten the exhaust on the K75 significantly. Are you getting a lot of backfire due to the lack of back pressure? Just curious as I'm getting backfire from gear 1-3 on my K75. I have an Arrow GP2 canister on my setup.

Yes I am. It was the first one I have ever tried to make so I wasn't surprised that it popped and cracked. The second one I  built for the other bike I put  2-stroke silencer packing in it and and the tone is much better and have not gotten any back fire out of it.. going to make another one to put on the blue bike..
