Rebuild of a single cylinder press-pin crankshaft – How I do it.

A step by step explanation of how I rebuild simple crankshafts. -Jeff Henise

Highwayman Pipe Tuning: exemplified for the Yamaha TD3 250cc twin

Achieving a specific tuning goal with pipe design.  The goal was to achieve equal or greater power while moving  the red-line from ~13,000 RPM to a max of 11,000 RPM. The pipes on the bike kept wanting to pull way past 11000 RPM, and the owner wanted to keep the power below that to preserve crankshaft life, while not loosing race winning power!

I offer a high quality, bolt on, low inertia, magneto-CDI racing ignition for the small Honda twin GP200 class road racers! After spending a few years racing GP200 with AHRMA it became apparent that ignition failure was a leading cause of Honda riders missing races. Having had much success adapting HPI ignition components to run on my two stroke racers  decided to share the wealth and make a reliable, race-quality, easy starting, high revving system for the Honda twins that wouldn’t miss a beat.

This story highlights the creation of a road race engine from the fusion of two different enduro motors, as well as the design and fabrication of a custom racing chassis to house the “franken-motor.”

Stainless Denco replicas for the Kawasaki H1

I needed chambers for a Kawasaki triple that I was restoring and decided to make my own after being disappointed with what was available for these bikes. The goal was to make exact copies of vintage Denco chambers to ensure good performance and stick with the period look.

Complex stainless GP style pipes with 54 cones total!

This was a project for a friend who needed a custom set of expansion chambers for his Yamaha RZ350. This special RZ350 had been modified with an Aprilia RS250 swingarm. He liked the way Spec II RZ pipes performed  so we used them as a model, but also made some innovations. I call this design “RZ350 Spec III.”

Also included in this post are some pipes for a RZ350 motor in an RS250 chassis…
