Ram air was mainly a gimmick,

But it could help cool the head,
But unlike 4 strokes, it has no valves, guides etc,that need cooling,

Check out air cooled multi row aircraft radial engines with ducting

That looks fun,

A few of us attended the one in 2019,I think

Easy to get to, head east on the A14,turn off at Stowmarket,

I went on the Friday, we were treated to a subsidised evening meal, I sat next to Neil Tuxworth, oh the stories about Honda,

Found a lovely B&B,
also Aldeburgh near by,

After the Saturday show, I got together with a few others,

A very nice Indian restaurant was found,

Sunday, after breakfast, set off home, why did it always rain around Cambridge!!

CB500/550 / Re: Where to source jets for carbs for CB500 Four K2
« on: March 26, 2024, 11:31:49 AM »
Didn't realise you were running non standard pods and exhaust


As others will comment, short pods don't work well,


The intake length is designed to work with a plenum chamber/airbox

It's to do with the pulses of the airstream

Good luck

NRP carbs

Those are a big increase on standard for the mains

Misc / Open / Re: Are all Schraeder valves the same?
« on: March 25, 2024, 07:13:37 PM »
I seem to remember the inner was two lengths

Standard about 20mm

Short about 13mm

The shorter were for high speed,

The centre being less likely to lift at high speed,

Just trying to replace the alloy washers at the camshaft ends

I found after market shoes are to wide at the pivot end,


I normally use a file to remove some alloy so the double washer and split pins fit,

Just care needed to get the shoes to fit square
