It holds in place and has a feeling of sealing when you push them on but yes the grub screws are needed to keep them from coming off again. Let's see.

The air filters from Steeldragon performance finally arrived and I think they look great.

The intakes are actually velocity stacks with the 'airbox' built around them. they fix to the carbs with a rubber seal recessed inside and are held firmly in place with gudgeon screws.

Amazing! Love this forum. Thanks Elvis (and Julie)

Ok I know what's caused it.

I'm missing part 12.

I'm surprised I didn't hurt myself riding it! The left wheel spacer was just being held in place with the sprocket plate seal which had destroyed itself.

Seems unobtanium. Might have to see if I can get one machined.

I had the carbs synced professionally last week. I still had a hanging idle but I resolved that by cleaning the advanced mechanism and using some thinner grease.

I took the bike for its first lengthy ride on the weekend between the surrey cafes. Overall it rode pretty good, apart from a slight stumble off idle when under load it pulled well through the revs.
I will be spending a lot more time on the carbs, but as I've said previously, I will probably try and work through that on my own rather than ask on here.

One issue that has come to light, is the rear brake plate eating into the hub causing. There were quite a lot of aluminium shavings which I found sat in the recess of the rims. The plate already had a bit missing which I knew about when I put it on, but I didn't think it would be a problem.

I've ordered another hub from Fleabay so hopefully that will be ok.

There are also a couple of oil leaks, there is a small amount of oil on the fin above the base gasket on the left side. Not sure where the source is yet.

Here's a video of it running, it's before I sorted the idle hang or had the carbs professionally synced, so you can hear the revs stay up after I blip the throttle.

Do they sell genuine jets? I can only find keyster jets on there.

Yes probably, I might try and make one though it's down on the list of priorities at the moment.

It had a bad hanging idle, so I'm getting the float heights perfect, going back to original 38 pilots for now until I can source genuine 40's and putting some genuine larger mains in.

Still waiting for the custom air filters to come from the US.

Is this ok for fuel heights?
