Here is how I did my race bike. I got lucky since Weber DCOE40 stacks are very close to the OD of round top 750 carbs. I added the Ram Air sock filters and now have a true stack and real filtration.

Thanks slik that's a good idea. Maybe use a smaller length stack with a filter sock.
Or pods....

Cam - Is that some sort of low-pro seat? Did you shave off some foam for an aftermarket cover? Just curious.... looks really good!

Yes Joey
The seat was slimmed down with new foam and recovered.
Color matched the stitching and piping to the candy garnet paint.

Not sure what seat it's from. A member here, not naming names, (Sinister) sold it to me as a cb550 seat. Had it all redone, and guess what? It's not a cb550 seat! Oh well, made it work  ;D

Well she runs! Sounds amazing and the plugs look great so far. Bad news is the mlock seems faulty, and I have a base gasket leak. Leak is coming from the ignition side and the front cam chain channel. I'm hoping it just needs a re torque and not a tear down.  :'(
