Can one tell me the position of the ring pegs and whether they would clear the boost port on a TS1 200

ok is this another benefit of thin wire rings that their inherent flexibilty allows them to spring back and forth when the ring ends are unsupported

IMO
Very dubious about rings in ports probability of catching very high
All I can say is make sure youve got a very good clean chamfered edge for them to ride over.
On the RB250 im doing Ive had to go round all ports ensuring chamfers are good as some where not, remenance of Rapido
I know one or two jap bikes have done this but where prone to fail.
All I can say is lets wait and see you never know
