 Daz can make you one
He designs and builds 2 stroke pipes for motorised hang gliders. Last year he made a pipe for a Gilera racer. He made a Supertrapp for my DR400 [I had the discs]. He rebuilds bikes for the local classic and twinshock blokes.

Wow, 69 mph on a 44T rear ! That's revving on  :o
Mine is still on a 44 at present but feels unhappy at 55+
As I have gone to a 100/100 rear tyre I have a 43T to go on soon.
There is a great exhaust/silencer guy down south in the UK. Not sure where yoare Giler.
I must get my finger out and convert many of my spare engine bits into a decent motor.
The megacycle cam and head is begging to be fitted to a modified lump.
Thumpers Rule !

 Yeh I held it for a mile but it wouldn't hit 70. That was on a calibrated bicycle speedo. I'd rather the engine didn't blow during an event, so best to test.
 The cam won't time correctly unless it's slotted, which as yet it isn't. Apparently it's present timing errs towards revs. Although the engine potters happily it loads up at lower revs. I don't know if this is normal. Contempory reports say it's happy to take full throttle at 3000+ so maybe so.
 The only mod I may yet do is fit  the oversize piston. but I doubt I'll do it till this one goes south. Checking all the data the engines don't take kindly to being bored and stroked. The gearbox originated in a Z200.
