Rocky, the wossner pistons are primarily sold by Eric Cook at Maico Only. Lynn at Rage Racing had my engine now and has a wiseco in it. I do know that Lynn and...

I know of two people who seized a Wossner, Myself being one of them. Mine seized first time out 2nd lap of practice. The other guys seized after a few races....
The coating I prefer is made bt Techline and it's called TLTD. It's an industrial coating and it's not something that's sold to individuals. It has to be...
As far as a water cooled vs. an air cooled piston, there is no difference in approach to design. The piston can't tell what's on the other side of the...
hey guys. i have a 71 frame and swingarm but i want to build a 73 ( not sure if i want a 400 or 440 yet ). is there much diff in the frame amd swing arm ??...
Chris, so I was only off by 3lbs 10oz? right? LOL. Or about the weight of a few big macs I can skip..I've got to quit laughing at how far off I was on this. I...
Yeah, if you sawed the fins off of two cylinders, you might have 4 lbs of aluminum. On your bike, I have a '77 250 AW with the factory up pipe. The later year...
Ya wanna know what pisses me off about Harleys? The freekin yahoos who think everyone in the world wants to hear their obnoxiously loud straight pipes!! I...
There was a famous photo in Dirt Bike magazine a few years back in which Danny "Magoo" Chandler was jumping on a naked Maico! No seat, no tank, no plastic....
Chris the pipe was definitley Wheelsmith. What I meant by after production is the pipe mounts on the frame were welded and never painted over. This makes sense...
Thats very interestng. I did wonder about the mass and the fins acting as a heat sink for the cylinder. Heat flow as you mentioned also makes alot of sense....
Now I see what you are saying. Your tank is either a late '77 production tank or an aftermarket unit- at least that's my guess. Are you planning on racing...
Your '71 frame likely has the seat mount at the sides as opposed to one mount at the back. This frame would be called the "wide" frame and is different from...
Superfluous is a pretty good description of some of the nonsense you see- not only on Maico- not only on motorcycles but everywhere in motorsports. I can't...
Mark, How is Dave Mac coming along with retrieving either his bike or his money from Kevin Tackett at Finishline Motorcycles? I hear he has received nothing...
In 1977 I was one of the largest volume Maico dealers in the U.S. I don't ever recall seeing an AW with a factory up pipe, they were all Wheelsmith pipes,...
I'm not sure I know what you're saying. If I read this right, the importer contracted Wheelsmith to build an up pipe and it was installed by the dealer? That...
Somewhere I have a Dirt Bike Magazine from '78 or so and it has an advertisement for Wheelsmith up pipes that fit '75-77 bikes. If I recall, they were stamped....
http://www.dotphoto.com/GuestViewImage.asp? AID=1752316&IID=55525989&ImgTlbx= Since we talked about 125s a bit earlier - Somebody at the Portland, Mich. AHRMA...
I think I have that same ad- although I can't find it anywhere. It describes the pieces you get and the mods you have to do to make it work. I seem to...
I seem to recall that most of the Wheelsmith up pipes I sold where stamped. I'm sure it was likely that some of the earlier pipes were cone built. I see your...
Bought it from the guy who did and I've known the bike since new. If it ever needed anything more than a plug or an oil change, I did it for him. I'm sure...

- Chris there is also a running AW440 77 in Oregon $800.00 But it now...may not still be there. Plan on racing it a lot- expect a pipe will last one moto. I...
Don't get offended guys, but my down pipes on my Elsinores seem to last quite a while. You just have to remember that if you fall, fall on your left side, not...
Guy's: The Wheelsmith pipes were stamped from about mid 76' on. I know this because I watched my best friend ( Steve Russell ) make mine & several others one...
I once made a "skid plate" for a downpipe using a piece of 3/8" wall x 8" OD pipe cut in half lengthwise. It weas ugly and it collected mud pretty bad but the...
