Re: New Extra 260 30% any advice
I like the red and black. Nice to see an Extra that does not look anerexic. The weight seems to be on par with other 50cc Extras. Should be a great performer. I will keep my eye on this thread.

Re: New Extra 260 30% any advice
I cut out the cowl.
The cowl can be slipped off with the plug and cap still in place.

Re: New Extra 260 30% any advice
I'm using a DA50 header with no drop and a MTW 75K can. The MT62 is suppose to be a G-62 clone with EI.
