a real tuned pipe for my rat

vespatech · Post by **vespatech** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:08 am

this thing is one of a kind. it is tuned for road racing (max power at high rpms and no power anywhere else). 68 mph on a speeding ticket. it had more but the cop that i did not know was behind me said i was hard to keep up with. he was very nice and threatened me with reckless driving but he gave me a cite for not putting my feet down at a stop. 45 to 65 is insane!
lots of other shtuff too, well take a look.

sick man!

i, (and others for sure) would like to hear more about the pipe. is it a modified prima or some thing else. lots of mods to talk about. what else got you to 68mph?

I need someone to walk me through the notched variator. I can't remember who first brought it up. What does it entail and if done correct, what is the benefit.

That sweet. Is that drop bars on it? What did you use for a handlebar clamp?

bigbropgo · Post by **bigbropgo** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:57 pm

another guy did something similar. his are not turned down as far. and it looks like they are not quite as wide...not sure. but a couple of good pics from a different angle. they are cafe racer style bars.

Interesting, does the Rat have BMX style mounts already? I'm working on cafe bars for my Buddy, but the Buddy's bars don't mount that way.

Yep...the Rat has BMX/motorcycle type handlebar clamps.

the mounts he has on are stock. some of the guys have talked about using risers to shift the position a bit. i have analogue gages still, like the rough house. i want to copy this setup in black. but my handle bar forms a t-shape and flow straight down in to the fork tree. the rattler has this setup with the bmx style clamp. in that last link with the pics some used moto cross bars with the stock clamp.

Interesting. I wonder if the Rat has the same fork style as the Buddy. That could fix my drop bar mount conundrum

Do you know if its available on their website? I'm not finding it, and I need to see a photo of how it mounts before I order it so I know if it'll work.

just call them(scooterworks) and ask for a handlebar clamp for your buddy or go to a dealer and order a clamp for a rattler it will fit. but i can tell you genuine is a pain in the ass to get steering susp parts on time. then you have a speedo issue as well as wiring. all of your harness plugs are right under there so you may want to lengthen your wiring so they arent exposed...depending on what type of bar you choose.

Yeah, I'm discovering that. I went to my dealer last week, and they let me tear down the front of a Buck10. It looks like it'll fit perfectly, but when I went to order it I ran into some issues.

There's no price for it

My dealer couldn't get one from the online catalog, so we called Genuine's parts dept, they couldn't find a price for it either. They then said they were going to call PGO and call us right back.
About 10 minutes later they did and said that PGO didn't have a price for it!

Genuine has 2/3 of the clamp assembly in stock(the top straps are separate parts and were outa stock) so I may just order it anyway, how much could 1 clamp assembly be??

i was over at jiangwayne.com and they have a bar mount that looks to be the same as the rattler. 160 buck though.

Thats jiangwayne for ya... I think I'd rather go with the actual Rat mount, as thats got the highest likelihood of fitting the Buddy.

maybe something

i am tempted to purchace from jiangwayne but i know you have had more experience with him. he has a pipe for the bws i think i could make fit the rattler. but at 270 plus ship, im not ready for that.

just get the bar mount from scooterworks that is built for the zuma i have experience installing this clamp and know it will work. it is better than a 6 month backorder while your money is tied up. i knew that genuine didnt have the part in stock thats why i recommended.
