Alpha Exhaust info

#1 PostAuthor: Redbeard » Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:09 pm

Hi, as far as I know the exhaust on my ST is an Alpha. I understand they are rare these days but cannot find any info/pics about them on t'internet at all. I don't exactly know what info I'm after, or if I'm even spelling it correctly, but if anyone knows a website or has any knowledge on the make themselves that'd be great! Thanks.

The only pic I have which shows it somewhat clearly;

Cheers Andy, something I might try myself. It does sound nice already, just don't see them about very often. :)

Yep, thats an Alpha, got one on the Harris, not so load with a bit of padding inside.

Nice little pipe that is out of the way

Does not seem to need any re-jetting although I do not have standard carbs anyway!

Agree hard to get hold off, got mine from a club member, needed a good clean, saw one on ebay recently go for very good money.
