Not really,
2 6ft straight edges would The idea is you put it around the front wheel,,about 8in from the ground, then pull equally both sides to the rear wheel, As the rear tyre is wider, the string should just touch the leading edge of the tyre, Next you check the gap at the front tyre, It's fairly easy to see if both sides are equal. If not, adjust the rear wheel as necessary Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 34

Align the rear wheel with string and the front wheel
That's the best way Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 35

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 Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 36

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!!

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 Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 43

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, Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 45
