Re: The Build

I actually have those filters and they didn't work as well as I wanted, and I saw another thread on her using the stock air box boots to lengthen the intake but the pods don't fit bc I didn't have an old airbox to take the boots from and the closest thing I could find was much longer, which means th...

Re: The Build

Do you think less foam would fix this? Like a wire mesh and a thinner filter substance?
I'm also thinking an oval air filter like you would see on a double/triple carburated car, like this http://www.rjays.com/Billet_Spec/billet ... 420-lg.jpg

Re: Fiberglass fairings... Has anyone used them?

I have airtechs that were made in 97
they were pretty brittle and a total beach to fit on the bike, but once I got em on there, they didnt crackle or give me any problems, and they are WAYY lighter than the stock. Plus I can fix 'em with my surfboard repair equipment, which is a nice thing to have ;)

Re: 93 fizzer fork spring question

I dont know how it helped the nosediving yet b/c ive still got the carbs to sort out, but it made a serious difference just sitting on the thing, the sag felt soooo much stiffer (put a gsxr750 shock on the back tho too...)
Its usually 80+ for me here in san diego

I'm going to put the 118s back in ...

Blow dry the bottom of the boots for like 2-3 minutes and it'll go on smooth as butter
