Hey 85/86 250R Experts!!

[Jeb]

I got this TSR silencer off ebay. (see bottom pic) It looks a little rough, but the price was right at 9.99! And just to be honest I bought it for the lower pipe mount! :shock: !! :D We'll see how well some elbow grease and re-packing (if you can re-pack it) makes her look. Gotta be better looking than my stock muffler.

Anyway to my question.... What or Who is TSR? Anybody know?


Thought I'd add a recent pic of my R too. The color is a little off. The red plastic is not that light. :D

[TimSr]

It looks like one I have, that I think is a Paul Turner. From what I have gathered TSR is Two Stroke Racing, and all Ive ever seen from them is software, including a pipe design software they sell. I think they are strictly a software company, but I dont know that to be a fact. My wild guess is thats some other silencer with a TSR sticker on it, but thats a very wild guess.

[Jeb]

Thanks TimSr! It would be cool if it ends up a Paul Turner. Or maybe not, because if it's worth using and cleans up decent then I'd be tempted to hunt up a Paul Turner pipe! I need one of those pipe mount that Honda is so proud of. I thought, why not get a silencer with it! :D

So TSR is exhaust flow software?

[TimSr]

Its a whole range of many different performance related softwares. Pipe design is only one of them.

[Jeb]

Anybody else think thats a Paul Turner Silencer?

Thanks!

I have a sticker just like that on my 350x. And one of my friends said it was an old Toomy sticker. I have no idea if this is true or why a "Two Stroke Racing" sticker would be on an X. But I gess it fits with the boysen power reeds sticker I have on it.

[Billy Golightly]

I was just going to add before I seen NOS's post that the logo design seems very similar to the Toomey one.

[Cooker]

I agree, I think it's a Toomey

I went to TRS website. I ended up emailing Tom Turner the picture. He emailed me back and told me it was an old FMF. ???

WTF?? That dosent make any sence!

[sportvette]

looks like a FMF power core silencer to me. have the exact same one, but a little newer. i was going to post that but i have no real way of knowing.

[dogger]

ya that is defentlyy a fmf powercore. not bad as silincers go for a r though I have one on my r myself.

[Jeb]

WTF?? That dosent make any sence!


why doesn't it? Its just an old FMF with a TSR (two-stroke racing) decal.

[x.system]

I was going to say FMF or Answer. Anytime I ordered a Paul Turner it came with one of these fat boy silencers which is round, not oval.

[sportvette]

are new paul turner and esr pipes still available from the manufacturers? where could i find the manufacturers contact info?

Thanks,
Mark

[TimSr]

ESR still make spipes. I dont know about PT. In ID-ing Jeb's, keep in mind, it looks like mine, but I said I thought it was a PT, but I really dont know for sure what mine is.

This is where I get my Paul Turner pieces and parts. I need to buy a new fat boy 2 for silver lake riding. I don't think they will let me in with the old original fat boy. The new one looks almost the same but it has a turn down pipe on the end and should help with the decibal laws in the dunes.

Why would somone do that? (put a decal from another company on it)

[Jeb]

Yeah, now I see NOS, I'm with you there. But from what I'm getting, TRS is a software company. Maybe whoever owned this used TRS exhaust flow software? Who knows... :D

[sportvette]

wow, $305 for a paul tuner pipe and silencer. i should have bought the pipe and silener on ebay for 130.
