I have purchased one from Inmotion this week and is on the way to the US, full report soon ! Hoping for weight loss over stock, nice sound and any performance gains would be nice, plus its rebuildable.  Stay Posted !

A guy off a facebook group has got his, pic below

he reports a good power increase

I'm still super excited with my purchase of the WES silencer, the fit is super, its light and sounds great, not too loud but has a raspy tone. Had a friend over today who has a 199B take mine for a spin, the look of him shaking his head in disbelief on how good mine runs now was priceless... Both of our bikes use 250 flywheels , CDI ignition and flat sided carbs..  Seems to rev quicker but still has the Bultaco grunt down low.  Cool piece highly recommended.

Got mine in the mail today. I haven't spent much time fiddling with the 199 or the RL due to hip replacement surgery, but now i am cleared to return to my activities. Trying to regain strength in the legs and plan my first outing since November on my little TL125.

I have managed to install the electronic ignition and OKO carb, repainted the frame to a pretty close color, picked up a new tank and fenders, and swapped the flywheel for a 250 unit per Steve B's advice. Most of this work began before the surgery.

The WES is the capper, though.

Will post pics once I get it on!

Almost there. I was ready to install the new tank and found that the petcock mounting is different than the stocker. This one has a two screw install instead of the single unit found on the stock tank. I assume In Motion sells these?

 

Anyway, so far;

 

I powder coated the shock springs and footpegs mainly because I could. They look pretty good.

All the blue plastic tanks I have seen have had the two captive 6mm nuts in the plastic that the tap is attached to, the red199 tank I am pretty sure has a 12mm thread

PS I have no idea what tap fits the UK alloy tanks, but I assume they are UK only?

Cheers Greg
