I'm really excited about this project, it's been about 15 years since I last built a exhaust system. They have all been expansion chambers, this is more of a challenge being a hybrid of both .
Great work as usual Steve. I’m really interested in buying a Sledgehammer engine but I want a clubman exhaust and they only offer an expansion at the moment. Could an existing clubman be modified do you think? Also the inlet requires a hole in the side panel , there must be a way round it ?
You will also get more vibration and the lambretta frame is not designed to take that much power . Panels will split everywhere. Do you really need that much power ? Lambrettas are ok at around 60 to 65 mph after that it becomes uncomfortable to ride on long trips ? Think carefully what you want and what you need ?
@@TheSteelweasel this motor “ only” puts out around 30 HP as apposed to mid 40s and more with the Casa 265 engines and produces it at relatively low revs . According to Sticky, who has test ridden it, vibration is not an issue despite the large piston, I expect they have ensured the custom crank is well balanced . The whole idea is supposed to be a definitive touring engine that will hold motorway speeds all day uphill two up without needing rebuilding every five minutes and without trying to kill you every time you open her up. Which is why I find it strange they haven’t found a solution to butchering the side panel and have not produced a clubman exhaust.
@@iancarrington1967 mm i would tour with a smaller motor . say 225 max with as standard as possible set up , clubman style exhaust and small carb 21mm , touring at 70 mph is pointless and motorways are not what touring is about . country lanes , villages and beautiful country side is what its about . good fuel consumption and confortable ride . if i wanted to tour at 80 mph id buy a T MAX YAMAHA . I think if you go for exotic motors you will only empty you pocket and find it un reliable , gas guzzlng waist of time IMO

Excellent Steve great to see people who think outside the square and not afraid to alter things to make them better top work mate 😁
cheers lads trying to make a clubman that looks right and performs more like an expansion chamber .......
@@TheSteelweasel 👍
Nice work . Do you have an engineering background?
@@anthonypickering5371 yes i have a masters in cut and pray .....
@@TheSteelweasel 🤣
Taking shape Steve, can't wait for next part. Engineering Guru 👍👍
Thanks kevin , time to buy a tig welder me thinks
Definitely Steve😉👍 @@TheSteelweasel
Great work
I like watching people doing this sort of thing. That tailpipe looks good.
i only do it for people like you buddy ... cheers
Brilliant as always Steve. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
Cheers pal 👍
Genius this bloke
Thanks stu
👍🏻
thanks
Nice one Steve,what's your thoughts on the 42mm AF clubman for a small block 185 kitted scooter.?
sip is much better by a million miles
Love it
Cheers buddy
Do you ever get it wrong?
@@billreeves8994 always mate , you should know
I love how you know all this stuff but not only that how you can put it into practice. I love my CST3 pipe but the ground clearance is fkin awful.
Yes I had a cst3 was great torque but the fat pipe was scraping the floor on every right hander......thanks for comment
Did your fingers get “sunburned “ Steve 😂😂
more comments pls helps my channel ........
Very enjoyable but you must learn to TIG weld. Really enjoyed it.
at the moment i get my mate to tig it all up , but yes i want a TIG but it might be a problem getting gas here ?
Great work as usual Steve.
