    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

750 Carbs on a 550

OK, I'm about ready to take a hostage here...

Bought a great set of 750 carbs and rubber intakes to mount to a 550. However, they can't be mounted because the intakes are too short and the throttle cable mount smacks into the head. Sweet! Can't use the stock 550 mounting plate because the spacing is all off and the small curved intakes don't fit the new carbs. So much for the simple upgrade...

What's the deal? I bet countless people have overcarbed a 550, so PLEASE let me know the magic secret!!!! Radiator hose intakes? I can't believe there isn't a better way.

I have a stock airbox to trade for any advice...

Thanks!

Noooooo!!

OK Mister Smarty Pants, if I use the infamous Hose, how do you suggest connecting to the head itself? Mount the 750 intakes and use a short section of hose between the intake and the carb??

Thanks for the advice!

Yes.... :roll: :lol:
 
i coulda swore i posted here but i guess i didn't. why not just rejet the 550 carbs instead of playing GUESS? with the 750 carbs.

i have a 550 that i'm rejetting right now to compensate for the 4-1 exhaust and pod filters. the process would be a lot easier then trying to get new carb boots and fit bigger carbs into the frame.

just my $.02
