    If I ever buy a ported 50cc it'll be a 261c. I'm running stock in that class and I think the 550 is stronger in stock form.

    Honeyfuzz has duct tape and zip ties on his. He also had to jb weld the muffler on because the threads in the cylinder for the muffler bolts stripped out.

    There was a brand-new 555 on CL in Akron a week or so ago for $350. Akron was a bit too far for me to go at the time, and the ad was a few hours old when I saw it so I figured that one was probably already gone anyhow.
