Velocity stacks
02/27/12 at 10:07:49

I have shop that made custom velocity stacks for one of my other bikes and was wondering if you guys would like them for your LS650s. They are made from aluminum with a knurled ring, three set screws to hold it in place, and a fine-mesh brass screen. The workmanship is excellent. He has blanks that would work for the Mikuni 40ss carbs with its 57mm mouth, that are about 44 mm from base to outer edge, and 76 mm in diameter. His price for one is about $40 (plus shipping), which is cheap. If we get a few orders together he might bring the price down even more. Let me know by email.
Also, let me know if these photos show up, I'm new at pasting them on a post Wink

I'd be interested in knowing if your jetting would go all wonky again and you'd have to start tuning again...

It basically creates absolutely uninterrupted airflow with no back pressure at all - even more open than any kind of cone filter...

Any thoughts on what this is going to do to your engine since the screen basically keeps bugs out?
