    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
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

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

    I would recomend these, and they are cheap as, and very sticky.
    Two Stroke, the pinnacle of engine design

    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.

    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.
