Probly have to design/make your own. There's tons of practical advice on chamber design out there. Just remember that each shape helps the engine deliver it's power in different ways/rev range etc
Tyres are 18" right?? Dunlop TT100's come in this size & are very good

Cheng Shin make a real nice tire in skinny in 18"

I would recomend these, and they are cheap as, and very sticky.

VeeRubber are cheap. They haven't slipped on me - even in the wet. They were on the AX when you rode it AJ.

Chambers - Cycleworks will do one for about $450. Make you own or don't have one. My theory is you don't need one unless you're nearly winning. Otherwise you need a faster bike.

Vee Rubber are tires Darbi import they seem to be pretty good Jay Lawrence uses them on his bucket and he is a guy who uses tons of corner speed so they grip and grip my only experience on them was at the last round on the CBR and they lasted forever never slipped once only on compression lock up cause I didnt blip it:Oops:

So am I... Call Darbi and see who the nearest dealer is or ring round the dealers and see who's got them. Mine are 90/90-18 57P's. VRM 160 in their catalogue, under Motorcycle/Street

I brought a piece of 25 dia nylon rod from Grayleys (sp?) Plactics in Petone and filed one end to fit inside the bars.
