Not sure if they are importing them as Busboy's was a pre-reg. Might have found it's way from Minibike Craze who I thought were the only people bringing them in. Would like to think that others were bringing them in (I have no gripes with Minibike Craze).

There was one bought about a year ago by someone on here and never used it (when I spoke to him in May), bought DD's red bike instead.

There was also one for sale at P&P Hayling Island recently which was part of a topic on here.

Whatever, nice bike for the money, I'm happy with mine! :D

Does anybody know if something like this would fit?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Exhaust-Compl ... 0005.m1851

I'd like this look but can only assume it "might" fit..?

Should fit, but better for a 50/70 engine as 90/110 will need longer front pipe.May fit with the hanger bracket slotted.

All went dark this morning. After some investigation, if the rats nest behind the headlamp compresses the bulb fixture too much, you lose the connection - pull the fitting back off the lamp a bit, free off the rats nest of wiring whilst you are there there and it all works again...

So shorter down pipe on C70 etc, any difference in exhaust port diameter?

I think there's an even cheaper one at M&P for £30....

Came across another variant of the Chinese clones tonight:

The Tiger Retro 110.

I'm looking at finding a few bits and bobs of an older style.

I'd be quite happy being able to fit an original 70's shape rear light unit but I think the one in the picture above looks pretty good, as does the torpedo shaped exhaust ;)

It looks like a modern C100. Really nice.
