Interested in learning more about the pipe, will send you a PM. Phil

Thanks! :thumbsup: So if I wanted to get a little more power out of it, what "easy and inexpensive" mods would you recommend? Phil

Trying to ID the year, here are the #s: HS50 67349H (B) 3253B ... being an HS50, what else does this tell me? Phil

The "General Minibike Talk" section still seems to be having an issue, but the other "sections" seem to be working.

It seems to be working for me now with Firefox.

Got it, thanks. :thumbsup:

If you do go with media blasting, just make sure that you do you home work 1st. There is a BIG difference in media blasters. You don't want the guy that has been blasting dump trucks all day at 200 psi using black beauty. By comparison, we blast at 40 psi using crushed glass (which is the...

The site says I do not have permission to have a signature on my posts. What is the criteria to have a signature? Phil

Thanks man, yes I have a mig. :thumbsup: I pick up the bike a week from today...anxious to get tinkering on it, but you are right, I should wait and see what I have. For now, I will just keep building me eBay "watch list." :devil2: Phil
