I can see about 5 or 6 pictures on there. I dont have an imgur account, i dont know if that Limits how much i can view... photobucket or flickr are the best sites for forum use, inserting the pictures into your topics makes it so much easier for people to see

My expansion chamber is a standard crm one, the cr250 fmf silencer fits on the end perfectly and I just had to make a bracket to attach. Is your expansion chamber standard??

Hi Rob, can I ask what you did to the seat of your mark 2 to make it flatter instead of the standard ski jump seat?
thanks

The tank is a cr250 one, its flatter so lets the front of the seat angle down more.
