My Milani, My Milani, My Milani and Me!

I did some additional tweaking and tune-up work to my 1978 Milani Tris tonight. This is a really rare bike as there a VERY few Milani's to be heard of, and even less of this tube frame 'Tris' model. Also it has super duper rare dope ass 9 star mag wheels. I have only really seen these wheels on the similarly framed, Morini MO1 powered, Lem mopeds.

For years now the Milani has been my trusty backup ride. It consistently chugs around town and up Seattle hills for a stock bike.

My specs:

Stock Minarelli V1

15:15 Dellorto SHA w/ high flow filter

Stock intake drilled to nearly 15mm

ZEN performance pipe

Excersize bike seat stolen from the garbage

Janky super squeaky stock rear shocks

Tonight I switched out an old beat up Puch Techno Circuit 'snail' style pipe, for a brand new, hydroformed, ZEN performance pipe.

I noticed a significant increase in top speed and I can really feel the power band kick in and pick up in the mid-range and cruise smoothly to the top. Although the header seams a bit small, the chamber has quite the bulge, and as a whole seams just about right for a stock bike. It mounted REALLY easy; This one bolts right on. With minor tweaking I could probably get about 1"more of clearance. Even though it appears to hang low, it don't think it will scrape...often...
