How so cheap?

Just watch them temps, maybe invest in a cylinder head temp gauge. Grind the clear coat off :nervous:. I'd let it burn off then paint with the high temp. I just realized you, me, and maddog are the only ones replying to this thread :lol:. Kinda strange. I am going to get a temp guage... just a simp...

also another question, he said this pipe is sprayed with clear. Has anybody on here grinded that off and sprayed with high temp?

so I talked to Keoni at VT again today and he stated that again, it is not necessary to port match with the setup I'm going with. So what setup are you going with, Malossi or Polini? Malossi 72cc.. I even told him that 'guys on the forums' (not evilone from hondaspree.net haha) told me I should ope...

that's what I thought. That's what Kioni @ vt told me yesterday I wont need to do anything other than bolt on and ride.... (after break in obviously )

can anybody confirm this

Hey Ben, them parts should do it. I'd go with 9:1 gears for city riding crazy low-end torque. If you go with the Malossi you will need to match the boost port in cases. Is there a writeup anywhere out there on how to do that port match? Portage, MI eh? I went to WMU. You familure with the moped arm...

Hey everyone. Felt like saying what up. My name is Ben... some on here may actually remember I used to have a webpage called Ben's Honda Elite Page back in the day which was a small technical site as well. Currently in Chicago. I have a 1995 Honda Elite S. De-rescricted (airbox, jetted, bored out ex...
