quick update: power gains with new exhaust are incredible
before exhaust i would cruise along at 80 about 1/2 way through fifth with engine revving fairly high
after exhaust i can now cruise comfortably at 80 at about a 1/4 way through fourth with engine barely revving
into fifth and bike just picks up and goes had up to 130kmh but need to check spoke tightness before going any faster
still had about 1/3 throttle still to go. next task on the agenda is to have bike re-jetted and new dash fitted with tachometer so i can
see as well as hear what the bike is doing overall very happy with how it turned out and as i said at the start the power gain is day and night
compared with stock exhaust with also weighs a ton.

That is an amazing gain! Might try something like that myself. I still have a sprocket to change first, once I have fixed the car. Maybe these bikes can really perform given a bit of work, thanks very much for the update. There are a few folk in Aus and GB have the Kinlons hopefully your ideas will help, shame Mr Pfaelzer of Jh600 fame doesn't have a Kinlon ... it would probably fly to Mars if he did. Somewhere on the forum is a carb mod for the Kinlon if you look around.

thanks halfcasted,

muffler was a custom job, originally 300mm longer and it looked like

on the bike so i cut it down and made new exhaust down to where it joins onto the front half
now 44mm from the join back to the muffler made huge difference to power and acceleration.

cheers matt
