I ordered a set of short manifolds from Jako Motorsports in Germany awhile ago to fit Keihin FCR 41 split-singles awhile back.  But they have been sitting on the shelf for awhile with other projects taking priority here and there.  Many people use Mallossi short manifolds iirc, but I don't remember which number.   I'm sure the likes of Ferracci, DucPond, Nash @ AMS, or the rest will know.  Its quite popular with the track-oriented 900SS crowd.  Downside I have been told is more tedious sync'ing the carbs requirements, lack of airbox also means things mounted to airbox need someplace to go, etc.   The Keihin 'kit' (doesn't include the necessary short manifolds) is 016-747, MSRP of $1000+, and can be had from board sponsor CA-Cycleworks: http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/fcr-split-singles

At a show I saw a guy with a Monster using that setup (fcrs and short manifolds) who had fabbed an airbox from fibreglass.  He found some intake ducting with curves that connected to it.  It was pretty trick.  The filter was a stock ducati filter. 

I had pics in my phone.. somewhere.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

yeah, but those are PHMs not FCRs -- the airbox this guy had was hand-laid fibreglass

I wonder how well Dellortos do?  I have a shitload of them in my garage.

also, the PHf/PHm carbs are side draft with a max angle of 45 deg.. that's way more than 45.

Well I dont know anything about 'em, or the aftermarket flatslide mikuni's... He does make some awesome power and slick looking bikes from what you can see online.  See his rocker shaft relocation kits? ...interesting...

Yeah, he's no joke. Likewise, he came up with his own timing pickup setup using the layshaft & driving pulleys

it's been done before on bevels, and it looks like shit.  i mean, the engineering is handsome, but when you stick that on the outside of a Ducati, it just looks Frankensteinian.

never seen on a full-faired SS, so no big deal there: he's track oriented
