Hello,
Is it possible to have the inlet manifold/carb on the flywheel side with a reed kit? If so who sells them? or is it possible to modify a standard TS1 inlet manifold?
Cheers in advance.
:wtf:

Easier to mount the battery tray on the other side.

As he said or put your battery in your tool box.

I suspect the OP isn't after a lower performance for more cost option

The trail tech battery has a bag/ mount, make your own rectifier mount and put it up there.

Perhaps initial cost is higher but
fuel cost
ring and piston cost (every 1000 miles)
repetitive strain (vibration and holding on)
it has to be Mb products every time

Build it properly, and none of these are a problem. A TS1 I've owned did about fifty miles to the gallon, didn't wear out rings every thousand miles and didn't vibrate as much as standard bikes I've ridden. It was fine commuting between Coventry and Bath with one fill up in Cirencester. And it was flat out all the time. Who built your TS1?
