question...Are these the copy of the JL RH pipe ?

reply... No these are the RZ Mk2, an improvement on the RZ Mk1.
The JL rh pipe was copied from the RZ Mk1.
That's what I was told anyway....

the rh side and left hand side RZ exhausts were made in the late 90`s very early 00`s and hailed from germany in mild steel - Roller Zentrale - JL may have a hand in them at the time.

Production stopped

the "revolver" is the same more or less but made in the far east (obvious by the cost)

Hmmmm, all hearsay, 2 sides to every story and all that!
Money was also mentioned (what i have been privvy to) in that a scooter dealer couldn't pay for a large batch of exhausts as well, surely taffy et al could have them reproduced in this country if they were sole heir to the design?
Like i say , 2 sides etc , don't know what the truth is , but seems to be happening a lot nowadays not just exhausts , disc brakes , hubs the list goes on!!

The mk1 came out pretty good in these tests. They are branded as RZ mk1 and mk2 in Europe. TSR do a stainless steel one for about £160 on fleabay.

Regardles of who copied who, if it's made in England by fairys who carve it from a block of solid silver or if it's built it in the 80's (......they were the days), 90's or 00's.........

.........getting back to the original question, I have a Revolver (RZ MK II) fitted to my standard non oil injection P200E (and have had it fitted for about a year now, using the scooter daily for work and some long journeys). I am running a 122 main jet and the spark plug looks ok at that, the guy I got it from said I could go up to a 124 main jet, but the 122 looks (and performs) OK.

Hope this helps.
