Congrats on the new bike.

No offense and please disregard my opinion if it bothers you. TBH I wouldn't want to cafe a 100cc.. might be a bit too little power to want/need to tuck into to what is quite an uncomfortable position. I would think a 350 is the minimum candidate for a cafe bike. Also with something like a RD350 you'll have greater access to parts like clip-ons, rearsets and very nice exhaust setups.

There is a guy in Vancouver that does expansion chambers.. I'll try to find his contact information for you. It will not be cheap.. unless you can find another similar setup and do the math yourself.

Just a FYI, I have two two-strokes myself that I ride regularly -- one 80cc, stock and another 200cc -- moderately modified with Rental ultra-lows. Although both bikes are hilariously fun as shit I feel like even the ultra-lows are a bit much.
