bznchris Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 While I have the carbs open I was wondering if y'all thought it would be necessary to rejet seeing as I'm going to be sticking with the pod filters and gutted 2-into-1 exhaust. It has the stock 135/42.5 jets on right now. On a side note I found a pair of oem carb diaphragms for $20ish. (cheapest I found was $150 EACH on ebay) Might be able to get a couple more...anybody need any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(technical term) something to do with masking the intake. I kept mine on and looks ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bznchris Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Is that so? well this adds another twist! was going to hang the battery in the battery box with no air filters attached. don't think it would fit between the pods. oh well. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Thanks drewps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely keeping the side panels, and I checked fitment- it would work, I'll just have to cut off part of the airbox holders. Only thing is, since the previous owner removed the side covers (and mounting brackets on frame!!) I'll have to weld on something to hold the side covers. But it's doable.

sdhynds Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I am looking to do the same thing with my 82 - did you end up rejetting or stick with those sizes? How does it run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bznchris Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 It's been this way since I bought it, and it has seemed to run fine. I was just curious if I'd be better rejetting in the long run, but from what I can tell, it's not that big of a deal. I'm also welding on a slightly more restrictive muffler than the basically straight pipes that are on now. So... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
