Does anybody know of a source for Aluminum Boost Bottles for 1600's? I may make my own but would rather buy one. I don't trust the Yamaha ones after having seen two crack and burn up motors.

FAT sells it as a kit. I was going to make my own but I'm just going to buy it and be done with it.

They're not cheap from what I remember. Nothing from FAT is for that matter. Nothing for racing is really....

I've seen people use paintball CO2 bottles for this. Still not sure of the advantage.

Why don't you run the old reliable 1985 YZ (485?) bottle?

It should be cheap:FAT kit= Yamaha boost bottle, stepped hose, 2 zip ties.

Rick,

The kit that I am talking about is an all-aluminum bottle similar to the one you posted above.

The plastic ones, to my knowledge, are like that of which Kenny Major is using on his motor.

Believe me, I'm looking for the simplest/reliable route possible.

Hey Cameron, do you have pics of the new car you can post? Did your dad sell his 11 car? I hate to see him go, I hope he's doing good. David

Ramsey - Send me a pm if you still need a boost bottle. Give me your address and I'll ship a bottle to you.
