Cosmetic mods done

I swung my battery around 90 degrees and the wiring for now is just "in there". I'll have to secure and route it better some time before riding season begins. I am running stock size tires, and they are both new so I'm not looking to change any time soon. I'd still be interested in the mod though. As for the exhaust, I don't know what brand it is, but it's a basic 4 into 2, slashcut pipes, with heat wrap on them. Sounds KILLER.

Did you get your pods online? If so where? They are kinda hard to find around here.

 

No, I got them at a local store here. Check out ebay, I'm sure they are there.

*edit* I found these in a couple seconds on ebay.

Pod filters

 

Looking VERY good man. I like the flat black tank. I was thinking about doing that to mine but haven't decided yet.

 

I hopped on and rode a whopping 0.6 miles today, mainly to test out the speedometer since there is no snow on the road. I reached a speed of 30.1 MPH and after a slight adjustment to the sensor, it seems to be working fine. I'm really stoked on it, but 30 was as fast as I could go due to the excrutiating cold. The suspension dosent seem horrible, although I only rode for 5 minutes and at low speed. For some reason it feels like I'm riding a toy. With all the clutter up front gone it just felt weird. C'mon springtime!

 

Fantastic. I'm glad you got a test ride in. Makes me a bit jealous. Did you clear coat any of your black?

 

I have not clearcoated the black yet, but i have 2 cans of Krylon matte finish clearcoat waiting to go on. I'm going to wait for some nicer weather to get on that, I work in an unheated garage.

 

Hey Kevineleven
After you put your pods on did you re-jet? What jet did you go to if you did?

 

I have not rejetted.

 

I ran mine a while back with some modified pods and my engine ran good. The pods were ugly so I didn't keep them on just wanted to see how it would run. I found a 750 tank to put on mine thanks to chacal. I painted mine black as a matter of fact everything on mine is black just about. I put a Drag Speciaties seat on and I have a rear fender off a Harley coming in a few days. I hope my vision of how I want it to look works out.

 

so no re jetting of the carbs when you put pods on? Did anyone see a loss or gain of power with the pods and no re jetting? Ive been about putting pods on but i dont want to change any of the jets on the carbs, i was also wondering if pods came i diffrent thicknes you know to let air pass though it but at diffrent pressures.

 

I personaly couldn't tell any differance. I'm sure there are those who say there is but as much as I ride (casual) I'm not concerned. I had the same thought about restricted pods but I've not seen anything like that. I was thinking about cutting some thin aluminum to cover part of the pod filter to restricted flow. I think re-jetting is a last resort.

 

Thanks for the info i think that i am going to at least try this mod.

 

There's a very slight sluggishness off the line, but I think a sync and colortune come spring will eliminate that.

 

I had to rejet my carbs when I put my pods on. I can give you exact rejetting sizes if you're curious and a great website that sells jets at amazing prices. My bike wouldn't even idle after I swapped th airbox for the pods. I also have unrestricted pipes so that was a factor as well.

 

Also bear in mind, I am at 7000 ft above sea level. Adding pods without changing jet size may have less of an effect at lower elevations.

 

Fongdingo your closer to the same elevation as I am in N.Georgia. I run open exhaust on mine. Here is one way to find out but I don't recomend doing it for very long and thats open your breather box remove the filter leave the top off take a short ride at high and low speed fast and slow take off a see how it goes.

 

cool i im going to try it its at least sunny out but mighty cold

 

Here's some crappy shots of some more stuff I've done. I think I'm pretty much finished up with everything... Until I get another idea.
