watch this fool swap a '96 900ss engine into an '01 M750

Point taken. Thank you. Hard to read his write ups on my phone.

So what are you gonna go with? why not spend that grand on the engine now, and do the FCR's later instead of the other way around?

The only thing that kinda bums me out is I'll never know what the difference between a 900 with Mikuni's compared to a 900 with the Keihins feels like. Almost makes me wish I'd waited on the FCR's.

i'd fit 39 because they're cheaper and you get a flatter a/f curve with them.

but mainly because i'm a tight arse.  not very scientific I know.

You wouldn't think 2mm would make that much of a difference unless you have bathtub heads and serious porting.

Hey Brad...or Koko...or?

so, would these:

effectively be providing the same benefit as these velocity stacks;

and do you think this will nullify some of the tuning gremlins ppl complain about when going to pods as opposed to an open box?

The open box is not an option, my box is chopped and I love these hardcore looking pods.

Looking at them, I think thats the concept. Worth a try.

Improving airflow with pods by using an internal velocity stack could mitigate some of the losses from not running an airbox. Some pods have quite ragged right angle turns without a nice radius from the filter to the carb mouth, so they may help overcome that. They look like they should.

Just gotta find filters that fit the OD and are the right length to fit under the tank.

Be great if Chris Kelley would put a kit together. A kit like that would sell like hotcakes.
