Sorry to carp on about this subject again guys but has anyone fitted the front exhaust pipe from SM yet and if so does it fit ok? ive got a full alloy WES system ready to go on! i understand ill need the front ex,flange? where can i get one of these from as i dont want to saw up my majesty exhaust system as its still good(but heavy!) dont want to waste

Scotty if you are having problems with the tiny standard Yamaha footpegs but don't want to spoil the original look of the frame, you can extend the standard footpegs to make them more comfortable. Have a look at the B&J Racing website. They sell kits for exactly this purpose and even offer a service to do the welding for you.

The TY mono pegs aren't much bigger than the TY twinshock pegs. Why bother with them?

That bit about using plates to use standard modern footpegs is really the best option. I have done that on my TY250B and the difference in comfort and balance is astounding. It looks fine if the plates are neatly made and colour match the frame. Email or PM me with your email address if you want photos.

What is the problem with welding plugs into the bottom tube anyway?

I've got one of the SM exhausts on my 250,fit is fine and the chrome seems ok.When I took it apart to rebuild the engine tho,I wasnt too impressed when I looked inside - looked like something I would have made when I was 15.Overlapped joints that should have been trimmed off,cant say wether it has any effect on running - seems fine.

Dont think I would have been too happy had it arrived in the post like it,I have decided to Tig up a stainless header for my xt225 engined TY when I get around to building it,its so easy to get almost a seamless bore and no rust worries.
