Hello there.
Does anyone on the forum own one of these pipes and if so can they please provide a bit of feedback. It will be to use in conjunction with a Malossi 220, reedvalved engine.
Are they worth the extra cost ? What are the pipe characteristics ?
Thanks,
Mongo.

This is one on my old Vespa. The build quality is fantastic, it fitted perfectly and the materials used were first rate. I couldnt copare it to the JL as I have never used one but it was relativly touquey , and revved well. It costs a bit more that the JL , i think it cost me £270 in total to buy it and ship it, but I wanted it because its a bit different, and from the website features on it it is well thought out. I think it is designed for the 210 and should be perfect for you, I had it on a tuned 166 and it imporoved the performance on that no end,

Email them and ask if they have changed the design from the early ones. They are extremely helpful and you'll get a quick response. The early ones were designed to fit P-series rather than a Rally 200 or any other mid-60s-70s large frames and had some clearance issues with the panels:

Other than than I can't fault them. Just make you get one designed for a large frame if your using it on something earlier than a P-series.

Im using one on a vba with a malossi 221 kit atm it has a fantastic build quality i love the oring on the barrel spigot idea. When you order specify your frame and engine combination they'll sort the rest ,as mine has simular clearance issues to vegansydneys
