[EDIT: Just looked that up. It can more than be done: http://buddfab.net/buddfabhomepage.html]
what is the point of putting a turbo on a two stroke besides trying to blow the crank seals? interesting to put the turbo at the end of the exhaust, contrary to standard practise. but so is a turbo and pipe anyway. wish i had lots of money. then i wouldna have so much sense
the polls too limited, and i know, its hard to cover all bases.
what if youre completely unsatisfied, but are happy, and are looking for some sucker to sell it to?
i know what the polls in aid of. do people want to pay for performance upgrades, or are they just content with what they got, or are they over the stinking things altogether...
people will always pay more for appearances than performance. i hate that, but its true. it has too look right, people can live with it being mediocre in all other regards. look at apple for instance
so... in my case its hard. i wont pay cus i believe in self sufficiency. admittedly i need the motor.
out of the box... one mate is 100 kg. he was riding 40-50km round trips, stock standard. perfectly content with it. it did the job for the three months of having no license. then he rode one of mine and was forever disappointed in his. once again, for what it was doing, it wasnt worth it for me to make him a pipe or do anything. he was also not that way inclined to fiddle.
where as i knew i was in it for the long run. so i had a few motors, few different frames, and the desire to get more!
i started motopushies cus i was lazy and never got a car license (read bad location/family/lifechoice). got a bike license, and resort to the pushies whenever i lose it.
2 years last time. that was painful. i currently still have my license. now im just fiddling with builds in the back shed.
these things are far more reliable and far less temperamental when they are simply for recreation.
the gremlins multiply proportionately to the urgency of need....
i will note... my latest engine is one of the smoothest runners ive had. so far its still sitting there, stock, waiting for my new vid cam. i also noted the magnetos changed slightly. no white wire, and the internal earth connection is now on the lug previously used for white. the CDI is in a new style case with much deeper "ears" for the bracket. plug caps still POS . just makes me wonder what, if any, mods may have been made internally?
