Thank you, everybody! The exhaust is a LONG story, I'll try to condense the particulars. The cruiser pipe (poo poo pipe), was bought off skyhawk of canada......as well as the throttle / waffle grips (I LOVE these). But, I think they folded up shop. Anywho, the pipe WAS'NT cheap back then. Plus, th' quality of the inner welds and just over all internal construction was sloppy, sloppy, and sloppy!!!!

Did I say sloppy? The pipe was heavy, TOO quiet, and VEEEERRRYYY sloooooww. So, I hacked it up to put on the modified stock pipe. I later decided to try another engine, since the china-fire types were so performance limited, had crappy magnetos (th' early ones did) , chain/ tensioner problems ....etc. Thats why I bought the pocket bike engine, exhaust, and chain (25h chain is so cool!). When I installed th' 47cc on my mtb, I burned up th' clutch in one day!

The plan was to pedal up to speed to help th' engine.....but, th' engine was in the way of th' pedals (the engine was in the middle of th' frame). At th' time, everybody on another site was all about no pedals so I thought I'd try it. Big mistake!!! Plus, the sprocket was a 55t (VERY high-gearing for pocket bikes), th' tire (26inch), was too tall for th' centrifical clutch to handle. Sucker was slower than a peddle bike!!!!!!!

The clutch only gave me a mile of operation before a spring broke , thusly seizing up entirely, thereby locking up th' rear tire which cracked th' tensioner roller in half (the old style ones)

and finally twisting the flimsy ,aluminum bar , engine frame assembly. Thank fully, it was a slow ride and I didnt go to far......I had to push th' bike home because of no pedals. Whew! (told you it was a long story) Adversity makes ya stronger.
