--- Quote from: Motorrad on May 01, 2012, 02:45:24 PM ---The pipe I have off hamels bike. 1. Has a turbine spark arrestor welded on. Not a cobra sparky. Never seen a cobra on a team bike. 2. It's stock length.
Just a FYI of the parts I have in my hands.

The pipes/silencers the Team Green bikes ran depended on who was sponsoring each individual rider. Since I bought my bike off Brian Brown who was sponsored by FMF, it had an FMF pipe and turbine core. Destry bike was the only Team Green bike that I saw that consistently had the welded on sparky. You can clearly see in the picture I pasted (you'll have to copy and paste the whole link) that Destry's bike has the stock silncer with a Cobra sparky welded on. Also, in picture 14, you can see a Team Green rider (don't know if it was Brian Brown, Abbott, Esposito, etc) stting on his 500, and you can seee the sparky insert inside the pipe.

sounds good!....I take it that's an old railroad bed?....it'd be cool if you could go in there with a bobcat and set up some doubles/triples to make those long staights more fun!

Yep , it's part of the "rails to trails" program . It is designed essentially for everyone's use with little to no investment by the government to change it or maintain it . So , it is what it is . It's far from the best trail out there , but , it's close to home and provides an easy location to "test and tune" . I have not been on a bike for 30 years , so this is a good way to get my head and body back into the swing of things safely . Better trails are coming :)
