And Micron did a slip on for the FS1E

and we though it sounded ace!!

And because it was louder (and I thought therefore more powerfull) I even poked a screwdriver through mine

ahh i remember my old FS1E c reg every day thrashed to within an inch of its life

anyway DT50's are a laugh if you get racing reeds fitted etc you may see 45 mph !!!

My Honda MBX50 used to be good for about 50-53 (de-restricted, Micron pipe), only had to slow down for tight roundabouts as well.

P.S. Anyone want a Standard exhaust for a '98 CBR600?

I was once stopped on my Malaguti for doing 72 mph in a 50 limit, got away with it saying 'but it is only a moped, how can I have been doing 72'. Mine featured a made to measure expansion chamber exhaust and a 21mm Dellorto, output around 12 bhp compared with the standard 7.2 (FS1E 4.5). Downside was it needed new main bearings every 1500 miles (revved to 12,000 instead of 8,000).
