Yeah, I'm thinking either a small steel moto guard or a minimal wheel fender. The headlight and speedo also need to be moved down a fair distance... It's hard to make a pressed backbone body look tough IMO. Regular frames are easy to make angry.

I still haven't cleaned this thing since the East Cape mission... Maybe that will happen this weekend? I got a special delivery from @Raizer today: a set of bars from a Vmoto Milan. They're about the height that I want and are quite narrow, which suits the FS1 reasonably well. I threw them on and took off the guards to see if I liked the look: I like the bars, but am definitely not sold on the no guards look... Especially in the rear. It would need to be a shitload lower and have a low seat to look right IMO. Put the rear guard back on and took a few other pics: And a couple of sneaky shots with the next 2 wheeled project...

Correct, but there are ways around it. @kdotlowe can probably fill us in on how he did it. Check out this thread too:

Went for a good pest this afternoon and explored a bunch of bushy crevices that I'd never been to before: It still needs uprated clutch springs... Hopefully I'll get that done over the Xmas break.

It would be great if you manage to re-reg it with the OG black plate too!

Mount Maunganui Small Bike Ride; 2018 - Moped NZ MC 15/12/18

... nice scooter... -
I don't think it's about unequal runners at all? The runners are all equally short and the injectors are near the runner's inlet. I think the issue (in theory) is the log plenum causing a pressure difference between the runners and potentially having the front cylinders stealing fuel from the rear ones.

If it's got a more aggressive ignition curve then it should go better all round. If the jetting isn't up to it you'll seize the engine or put a hole in the piston... But it should go really well until that point. Is the new CDI unit adjustable? You might be able to dial a bit more / less timing into the mid range to get more torque.

What are the wheel sizes on this badboy? -
Damn, that is one heated Q&A section...

146kw is still super impressive! Love that doort resonance at 4500-5k RPM too. Where is that dyno? Would be a handy thing to ahve in a garage .

Luckily there was no need for the raft! Man that was a rad weekend of riding .

Gross. Those are well overpriced. $499 gets you a 150a gas/gasless Bossweld. They’re an inverter machine and come with a gas regulator. Good welder for the money: https://www.bunnings.co.nz/bossweld-150-amp-m150-gas-gasless-mig-inverter-welder_p08911795
