Ok just a quick thought, That muffler bracket would be more secure if ya drill a hole in the middle and add another piece to make a Y shape. That way if the bolt loosens up its still secure and more rigid all around Like the Y brackets that are sold on more expensive pipes. I hope I described that ok  Also, I see that the silencer is still in place on that muffler. The tip that has 2 grooves on each side. A big ass flat head screwdriver can fit that and make the scoot louder if ya want. I would love to see a video with it on and off to compare the sound. L8R ;D Ya gotta love that!!!!! |

we did remove the silencer and put it back on and it does sound meaner with it off without sounding stupid loud so thats cool but i cant find my battery charger for my camera at the moment so no videos of it b4 and after yet sorry :dunno: but i did go ahead and order a 52mm bbk cuz the 47 mm although good just aint enough. i need more power :bfg: plus im hopping it will be beasty enough to change the way bret feels bout 4t engines lol. also im working on scrounging up a good piece of scrap metal to work for my exhaust bracket.

That's part of Brent's Theory of Scootativity. The amount of scooters in your collection is directly proportionate with the level of enjoyment you'll experience.  = ;D = ;D ;D Sorry, that got a little technical... In layman's terms, More scoots = More fun! Also, I really don't dislike 4Ts as much as it sounds. In reality, I'd like another one. They're still very fun to ride and tinker with. Can I give up one of my 2Ts in favor of a 4T though (can't afford to keep piling up insurance policies)... I dunno about that one. |

If I get another 4T, it's gotta have at least 200cc's and 20hp ;D

If i get another 4T it had better have at least a 38inch cut and a real sharp turning radius to get though tight spots in my back yard :laugh:
:lol:

I have a 4T and I love it. After years of riding 2T and I mean dirt bikes and ATV's and having to tear them down every so often to put rings in them or to have them bored or sleeved I got smart and said no more 2T's. I just got tired of always working on them and having to mix oil/gas. While I did buy my wife a 2T, it will last her a life time as she hardly rides and when she does it for a 10 mile ride.

Yeah, I must admit I didn't miss figuring out how many ounces I needed at every fill up. That was a nice plus. Had to do oil changes though.

You gotta do oil changes on your car, do you stop driving it because of that.
I am getting about 74 miles to the gallon.
There is pros and cons to everything.
My opinion is ride what you like and enjoy it.
I dont dislike 2T, I just prefer 4T's.

My car has a very thick layer of dust. lol
My Venus can do 70MPG... but with wheelies and 60MPH. The SunL 80cc 4T got 65MPG at best IIRC, and I really had to push it to do 50MPH legit. Accel never did impress me with it.
I think I come off too strong about the 4Ts, I really am joking for the most part. Yes, I prefer the 2Ts, but 4Ts can be good scoots. I just happened to own a grade a turd for the only 49cc 4T scoot I've had.

I plan on building a 2T. I have a 90cc long case here that runs great.
I am just looking for a rolling frame that will accept the motor and then we will have a wheelie machine. I have a couple spare makuni carbs here from a Honda CR125 that I thought about using. I want semi-knobby tires for it so when I get the urge I can run off the beaten path. Kind of a enduro scooter.

You need a naked scoot like T2 then. Ugly, but so practical. Be perfect for getting dirty.
Sorry we got so OT in here nobake.
