  1. I have 8 sealed cartons of M1 Garand ammo purchased at Camp Perry through the Civilian Marksmanship Program and no longer have need for these.

    They are labeled "Greek Powder and Cartridge Co." 20 Cartridges BALL Caliber .30 M2 Lot-1147-HXP-69

    I live in Brooklyn. Sorry I will not ship, local pickup only.

    ***Sorry, wrong forum!*** Mods can you move to correct spot?

  2. Hope this helps a little.

    The SV has a flange between the pipe and can. If the GSXR is a slip on, you need to have a flange welded on to the can. (you can buy adapters but that's $).

    Another option is to cut the flange off and sleeve the connection.

    Once you take the pipes off the bike, you can readily see where cutting and welding a "block-off plate" to the left side makes sense. I'm sure any decent welder can handle doing that. BTW, the sharp backwards curve in the pipe from the rear cylinder doesn't look pretty but I would leave that part intact. (you'll see what I mean once you remove the exhaust.)

    Keep an eye open for an SV650 passenger peg to clean up the look after that left side pipe is gone.

    IMO, you might actually be better off selling the GSXR can, and getting one with a flange ready to go. D&D makes them for the SV also.

    For reference, I believe M4 makes a 2-1 exhaust (3/4 system since you reuse the front head pipe) IIRC, Yoshimura no longer does.

    OK, enough rambling...Good luck, can't wait to see it.

  3. I think cooling and frontal area are two deciding factors against aviation use, cooling in recip aircraft is about 70+% of drag (iirc)

    The Circle cycle engine is air cooled from the inside and as such does not require a radiator, because of this, the aerodynamics of the vehicle can be significantly improved.

  4. How do you get fuel in there?

    Because there are no intake or exhaust valves, the combustion chamber can be designed for optimum combustion efficiency. Direct fuel injection in the center of the cylinder chamber and spark ignition in the center of the piston also insures a clean exhaust (for diesel it allows for optimum piston configuration)

  5. I have Progressive for my SV. 50K/100K Bodily injury, 25K Property, Roadside Assistance, $3000 accessory coverage with 1K deductible.

    My payment is only $84 for the entire year.
