I’m building a another RD350LC. This one is a bit of a resto-mod using a RZ350 bottom end as a set of CPI 66mm Cub Cylinders and a +5 billet crank.

This will provide 403 cc’s of CO2 emitting, global warming, ice melting fun.

The engine was finished before Christmas and I was waiting on the pipes so I can go ahead and get it mocked up. It was better than Christmas last night when I got home and there was a new set from Mr. Turfrey on the doorstep. It took over 6 months as he is just crazy busy but it’s worth the wait.

These are designed for mid to top end, hence the big fat belly.





Brian was the gentleman who designed and built the pipes for Kenny Roberts and then for the Yamaha Works teams through to 1997, and then for the KR3. If you look at this picture the welds look very familiar.

There's something special about an exhaust with all those gorgeous welds. Modern stuff is heavy on the hydroforming, and while it's cheaper and smoother, it just doesn't have that wow factor.

There's a company in the Czech Republic that does gorgeous pipes for RC51's, and they're just too pretty to put on my track bike:

WOW! Turfey pipes!
Tell me you aren't gonna paint those and hide those beautiful welds.

Had a set of jolly moto pipes on an rs250 years ago... I loved the look of the welds etc but after after while the protective coat burned off and they started rusting (disadvantages to living 100m away from the pacific ocean) so had to paint them, was pretty bummed. This is what they looked like when I bought them.

And its all because of Walter Kaden and the Nazi's LOL ( amazing history of 2 strokes and worth a read )

It really is amazing how war pushes human technological advances into overdrive. There's a famous quote by Einstein.."I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"

My 2011 Ossa was an early production model.Came with a nice header pipe off the reverse cylinder.

My 09 MTS has a full Termi system that had never been cleaned.Cleaned it with toilet cleaner and autosol.

Love Jolly Motos! These look like the 'one up each side' and not the GP exit?
How did you like them on the rs250? Did you have to change your jetting much?

Oh nah, that was just a pic I found on the net of what the welds etc looked like. Only pics I have here is a couple after I had to paint them ? next time I'm back home I might bring my old hdd over.

And yeah definitely needed new jets.

I really like the double shotgun exhausts, high mount preferrably.

I am looking at a 2002-05 SS and would want to remove the massive cannister ASAP (if its still installed)
