You will lose a bit of bottom end, the gains in mid and top are incedible. This pipe beats the SH FMF out of the water, and fits better.

The bottom may not be affected too much since it has a heavy flywheel Power D ignition and he had the pipe purpose built, but who cares about bottom on a stump puller anyway:)

Yes, Foxx those are Myler radiators, there were a couple of issues with stock mounting, that Eric Myler corrected for me, and might I add, in only a few hours.

I highly recommend using MYLER for all your radiator needs. (free ad cause they do such good work)

ah ha!...I thought so...thanks ID!!
I was actually checking his sight out over the weekend...
http://www.motorcycleradiators.com/

I've been looking for an aftermarket set for my 250...it's tuff shopping for rads, because of the "fitment" issues we all hear about.
But I did read a lot of very positive feedback about Eric fixing any issues very quickly.

Like Don and alward said the bike has good bottom,,, don't let the rack on the back throw you, it's for a milk crate and 2 minute trips to the grocery store for the wifie,,,no putt putt.

Mike at CPI is a very cool guy and knows pipes. He did suggest I re-core the silencer which is for 250s and 300s, I think it was a good call.

So another good word for a great small business doing a great job when a custom need comes along.

owwwwww... I want a new pipe  :-o
I checked out his web site but saw no info on the pipe.
Any rough prices?
Did they recommend a jetting change?

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

the raw pipe is about $400 and needs to be jetted a couple sizes richer
