And while I get grumpy about the aesthetics of the box.. it's looks better to me moving with the stock air box than it does parked with pods. ;)
With perhaps a few exceptions, all you have to do to ruin the "aesthetics" of our SOHC4s is to put a forum member on top of it.
Who's going to notice the friggin' air box after that happens?

That is very clever...........and probably true.  :D
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I'm so completely new to this, I can't even give you an example to illustrate it. I picked up Hondaman's book, so that should help, but... I would really love to see something like: if you have pods, and 4 into X pipes, and Keihin carbs, and it's a 197X cbXXX, then these are the jets/settings you will need for an average rider.
I know it all depends on the rider and their specific needs, and what type of performance you want, and, and, bla bla bla. Just something straight forward to give us noobs a starting point would be soo appreciated.

Until then, I'm following this closely. Thanks for the great descriptions of what you're doing and the challenges you're running into!

That is exactly what i am trying to do but here is the problem.

People do not give ALL of the info, OR never report back and are never heard from again. a real shame.

Hey Lucky,
Your video link isn't working...think it has something to do with the privacy settings. HTH
