[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 98233, member: 98"] I have no idea how big that motor is but it looks a whole lot bigger than an oldwing ...it looks like icing would be a big deal ...but im sure its not cause not one thing to combat it ...I think we put to much into the boogie syndrome of things to worry about .....im glad we are close with everything ...this is no joke here ....seems to me ..ive gotten two carbs to work rather good ...I like the rubber hose deal as it was always my attention for this to be easy and not a one piece spider of a deal .....im thinking that when the bigger hose get to 90 just before head turbulence is created...the smaller 1 1/4 ID hose lessens this id say ....oldwings were working on are made to perform across the rpm zone ...although Honda miss this big time on stock setup ...oldwings have got to be on the lowest end of good performing stock setup carburation ...there are so many bikes that are so much better ...but oldwings are bullet proof lower ends ....so if Honda did so poorly ..we cant expect to just throw something together and it work across the board in the rpm zone I like the mod of the intake horns to straiten hose up westgl did .... I think all the high dollar bs metal of making this mod cost as much as stock carb rebuild defeats the purpose of this mod ....some might not look at the hose as stout enough ...but westgl has already fix his in the center to stabilize and heat some .....I think people who nay say about rubber runner are just talking out there rear end to justify there huge expense had a reason when it don't ....people who are selling this crap have to have a sales pitch.... as it has proven so far here it is a down grade in performace so far to have the metal runners ...idont care what the claims are plus at 10 times the cost it just ridicules .....
