Topic: Velocity Stacks vs. Pod Filters?

[Xander^]

i just bought the cognito moto airbox for my 77 cb750k.. on initial start up was pretty sweet. still need a bit of tuning.. but im having a fitment issue on the box/carb itself.. cant get it to sit all the was down on top of the carbs. only one side is fitting all the way.

Here is my setup on my race bike.





The stacks are from Weber DCOE 40 side draft carbs, cut down and with 3 small set screws. Never had an issue with the screws coming loose. For extra protection, I have Ram Air filters that fit over the bells and I just keep them slid back. Bike made 80hp at the wheel on 760cc, has nice throttle modulation (lumpy cam in there though) and Im in the setup for under $150.

Silk,
Nice set up. Is this your round top carbs on F2 cylinder head set up?
Or, have I confused you with someone else..?
Have you deleted alternator and flywheel...? Idle speed..?

Motor is a 76' K, but the round tops are stock, so still have idle. The system seems to modulate nicely, and I think any low RPM fault is with the cam more than intake setup. My cam comes alive at 6K, going from pretty good to HOLD THE F*CK ON at 6001 RPM.

Looks like you are running this as 4 into 2 filters vs 4 into 1 like a breadbox design. Any thoughts as to the difference?

 Not quite the same, I know, but this is the set-up the OldSkoolSuzuki guys swear by; stock rubber velocity stacks and RamAir filters. It's what I will be using on my GS550/GSX750 mash up.

I ended up using the TinTop velocity stacks with the Steel Dragon breadbox. The Steel Dragon stacks were fine but really hard to install. It all fits perfectly.
