Hi,

today I finished a pipeset from Andrew for my girlfriends S1A-400. The silencers I took from Tyga.
Hope that I have time to test it tomorrow.

All the best from Germany
Ralf

John,

checked the reedkits of this bike today, everything is fine. Now I will see how the performance is. Than I have to look for some HP, because
the main problem is that the others in the class 350/400 had done a lot last two years and are very fast.
Our bike has just own heads, reeds and a clean up. But it's not to slow. Second problem is that she couldn't sit on her bike, because of her knee
problems. It's along way for recovering. But I told her when we have our triple meeting in August, we could start her bike and she only has to
pull the throttle wide open.
I let you know how it will end,

All the best from Germany
Ralf

Good to hear Ralf. And you know how guys are, they don't like getting beaten by the fairer sex. ;) Your gal showed them how it was done for a couple of years, so of course they are upping their game. Hope your lady heals well and quickly.......... :thumbup:

Beautiful bike.
Always thought though, that the curved rearward pipe protruding out of the silencers would look better either straight or removed. I think it would give it a more "old school" look.

I think they look right for upswept pipes like this S3 has, but for lower, straighter pipes I agree with your statement. Sweet S3! I'm rather a fan of the 400's myself! :thumbup:

What carbs did you use on that bike? :eh: I have VM30-83s tied to Moos reeds and they are a shade big for the area with that big plug on the bottom.

If that thing runs as good as mine, you're in for a real treat of a bike over the stock 400 setup. 8-)
