So we fatten the bottom with a 55 pilot, fatten the mid & top with a 155 main, do the white spacer thing, which by the way is done very nicely on a band saw. So now the lean is gone and it's fat a sassy and running great right? so then why do you want to make it so there is more air by removing the nozzle or cutting holes or by the cone filter? doesn't that just put you right back where you were? I have done no airbox work but have done the aforementioned carb work. When I check my plug it is perfect coffee color and never a stutter or stumble or hic-cup. And yet i read quite a bit about bikes running not so great after air box mods I think. I don't know I'm just curious and I know curiosity killed the cat but I'm not a pxxxy, so I guess I'm O.K. Oh and BTW I love bobbers please post a pic of yours so I can get some new ideas thanks john
I don't really think that adding the pod filter does much more than enhance our libido...or something
Air flow from the stand point of the carb and jets is really controlled by valves, ports, displacement and the exhaust.
It really isn't restricted by the air intake (and would be silly if Suzuki designed it otherwise).
The airbox is actually designed to allow more than enough air flow...so unless something else is modified (opened up), replacing the airbox won't change anything except the intake noise
Why do I have one? I just wanted it.
