Airbox and exhaust...


Mark's been busy and is well on the way to completing the air box which, unusually, will be mounted on the left hand side of the bike between the fairing and the engine.
The idea here is create a forced air system that is in a cooler area than under the tank or seat, and will be fed cool fresh air from the side of the fairing.
Great plan - let's see how it works.
The exhaust has come back now, and is much longer than the original - so hopefully it will be quieter.
The Thundersport Moto450 rules are asking for a maximum of 100 db - now that is quiet!
This will be a tall order as singles are traditionally extremely difficult to silence.
I think our silencer will look like some kind of 'cannon', but hey if that's what it takes....
