    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.

Well, I didn't want to start a new thread, but I guess I will.
1. Will using a K&N pod increase dramatically intake noise?
2. Has anyone found a replacement for the rear shock on the full floater rear ends?
I was hoping someone else would ask these questions, but I guess my youth has made me impatient. :lol: No wait :cry: I forgot I'm now, MIDDLE AGED, aaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh! :roll:
 
Clone;
Did you do the search on tour site ??..."I always ask the obvious first...you never know"
 
Funny you should ask;;; Years ago, I didn't want K & N's at all, because I'd ridden other people's bikes that had them, and I hated the slurping noise. Last year I was purchasing a GS 1150, and complained to the seller that I hated the slurpy sound of the K & N's. He said that he didn't know what I was talking about. He cranked it up and I rode it down the street, and surprise, surprise, no slurping. Don't know why, but no slurp. Since then, I've baught another 1150. It also has K & N's and stock exaust, but still no slurp. Go figure

'86 and '87 GSX-Rs have the same type ends on the shock. The spring rate would probably be too light, but adjusting preload should take care of that. Not sure of the length on them from eye to eye though.

As for the intake noise, years ago when I was still running the stock CVs I didn't notice much difference, just a little more howl under acceleration. When I switched to Mikuni RS flatslides there was a huge difference intake noise. You can actually here the slides clatter a bit at idle on top of much more howl on the throttle.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I do searches, and end up with hundreds of posts to sort through and usually they don't specifically have the information I am after. I must not be using the correct key words and limiters.
