Default Spit fire exhaust, literally...

I saw a video in which a chopper literally spitted fire outta the exhaust pipes, does anyone knows how is this trick done??? Have someone of you guys done this mod to bike??? I know it would probably be legal only for show purposes, but I would like to know how is this done. Also do you think that it would damage the bike's operation in the long term?

Check the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VeFQ...search=chopper

Regards.

Mimo.

Basically done using an igniter in the pipes. All exhaust gases have unburned fuel, so when sparked, it's flame time. The igniter is run off the battery via a switch.

And they are illegal on the road, but fun in show.

Ok, I see...

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try just for Sunday barbecues, I hope burned fuel does not spoil the steak's flavor

And yes, that would be an awesome BACK OFF!!! warning...

Regards.

Mimo.
