Too bad they won't filter anything shy of a 4 pound rock, but they really look good. Run 'em and let the haters squirm!

I contacted them and while they look awesome, I can't justify the cost.

Looking foreword to the progression of your build

I think they only charge $60 or so for a set of four. That's really a pretty good price if you look around. Carpy charges $60 a piece for his stacks, and they have some stupid huge ugly fins on them.

Those are great - what shape are those ?    Looks like he offers 3 shapes.

Love the brass.

I ordered their airbox on the weekend!

Looks good, and filters using bulk K&N or UNI filter foam.

Those stacks look really sharp! I CNC stuff all day for a living, and those prices are extremely reasonable.

Thanks for all the kind words...

The craftsmanship of these stacks is amazing! They were quite expensive but let me tell you they
were worth every penny and my bike has never ran so well. So she must like them too.

Greenjeans they are the first of the three on his site under the brass ones.

Those all look nice. Makes we want stacks but their filter box looks nice too.

How much different do you think the jetting would be going from pods to stacks?

I guess it depends on your pods. I am going to go on a limb and say, not too much, if any.

That's what I wanted to hear. My bike came with K&N pods on it, but they seem to get dirty real fast. I've been thinking about going with stacks, but I really don't know yet? I may just keep cleaning them. I mean, they work.

Well if they get dirty fast, you may want to keep them. How often do you ride dirty roads? How often do you need to clean them?
Might be worth keeping them.

Well, country roads in AR. They don't really seem dirty to me, but they're all I'm used to. I do end up on a dirt road sometimes, but not often. I live in Fayetteville which isn't really a big, dirty city. I've only cleaned them once, but I've only had the bike since last November. I may just be a clean freak. I plan on cleaning them again soon. I guess they're working well, so I'll probably just keep them until they need replaced.

Awesome logic: "my air filters are getting dirty too fast, so I want to just replace them with no air filters."

Your engine will love you for that one.

Well ride it for a while and see how fast things get dirty. If you only need to do it once a season just because, it probably isnt a big deal.

Skunk, thanks for your thoughts.

Vames, some people ask questions because they want to learn more about things they aren't familiar with. I haven't been messing with these old bikes for long, so I have all sorts of stupid questions to ask.

Sorry for the thread hijack. I'm done.

You should be able to get socks for stacks.  I am not sure if they are meant for active use, or for safe storage though.

Gstar.... Awesome!! I just borrowed a set for my 550f and I loved them. going to order them up asap an chuck the pods. I also have a 750f and they're definitely going on that puppy too, I've got a similar pipe setup off a z750, so big question did you get the jets sorted, if so please let me know. it would be great to have a baseline, I'm at sea level. cheers your bike looks wicked an I have a good idea how insane it sounds. thanks mike
