After months of configuring, searching, consulting, and doing a lot of comparisons with a Honda CBR600 F3 sitting a few yards outside of Dave's shop, we decided to keep it simple and added the above intake-ducts in an attempt to provide sufficient air to the carbs. We changed the velocity stacks to 54mm soft rubber units from an '80s Suzuki and the K&N filter now sits on the bench in favor of a flat screen sitting just below the stacks. The bottom of the box is empty. We removed the inner-plate from the upper box and used its outer edge to frame the screen. The majority of our decision is based on the need to flow un-obstructed air to the carbs when above 10,000 rpms. The dyno-testing clearly showed a loss of performance when the 'restricter' plate was in the box.When I am on the bike my knees are pressed to the tapered rear corner of the air-box and the box retains the top-mounts to the frame. An interesting side note; a standard K-box would fit inside of the F2-F3 box. A few more refinements and fitting the front fender will wait until next week...............but we are getting close with a full 3-weeks to go.
Sorry to hear that, Dennis. The main consolation is that a year goes by so frickin fast these days that next August will be here before we know it.
Time..........Money..........equals accomplishments Thanks for the interest guys.............I have all of the parts and most of the paint and chrome is finished..........One of the CL77s will be for sale......to pay for more custom parts, a custom landspeed fairing, and maybe another CB750 motor-build............something approaching 1000cc's ...........Only 53 weeks to go
