How to make pod filters work

<< < (2/5) > >>

I would think you would benefit from a similar set up to the one I have now Greebo, looking at the photos of your filters there is an abrupt step from the filter to the carb, and also no distance between the two for the air to "straighten out", I am in Derby so if you want to take a ride over we could fit my filters to your bike and see what happens, I'm on the dyno Saturday but we can arrange it after that if you want to, cheers Mark.

Thans for that tip, might help resolve some of my bmw r90/6 issues when I get onto that later in the summer, I just need to get some velocity stacks to mach the massive carbs.... may also get applied to a cb550 special or custom in the future. Have you checked the silkaflex is ok around fuel?

Hi Mark
I see what you mean, I thought it maybe possible to Dremal that step off ? if you look at my set up there is not enough room on my bike to have extended VS.
Thanks for the offer, but at the moment I am laid up & bandaged up, just had carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand, so wont be riding for a few weeks.

What about a meet sometime at CMC clay cross.
Theres the "custom & modified" Sunday on the 24th July, & then on the 7th August there is the "Classic Japanese Sunday"..i will be entering my bike in that show...weather permitting of course.

I hope all goes well with the dyno..

Thanks again
Cheers
Greebo

Yes I don't think they'd fit, I'm pretty sure mine come half way across the upright frame tube so the panel on yours would be in the way, I've got them off at the moment and the carbs just checking that the intake boots are sealing correctly prior to the dyno, need some new ones really the rubber is hard and I have to heat them to get any give, yes I'm going to both of those shows and the 2 stroke day on the hustler so we'll meet up, might be worth taking the corner off you rubbers provided it doesn't weaken them , should be OK.

Sikaflex isn't designed to be totally fuel resistant but there shouldn't be much fuel getting back there, maybe a bit of blowback but I doubt it will affect it, if it causes a problem I'll go over it with some fuel resistant sealant.
