Posted February 8, 201015 yr 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?

(technical term) something to do with masking the intake. I kept mine on and looks ok
February 9, 201015 yr Author 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!

February 10, 201015 yr Author I think the standard battery box would still just fit in but it wouldn't look good unless you kept the side panels! Right. 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.
February 14, 201015 yr 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?
February 15, 201015 yr Author 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...
