    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.

The real deal on radiator hose intakes...

OK, what gives....I've seen about a 50/50 split on the research I've been doing. Either it will run like crap with flat spots eveywhere...or they work great. I'm going to try the carbs from my 750 (32mm) on my hopped up 836cc, Andrews cammed CB 750 motor in my chopper. The stockers are re-jetted 29mm, and have a slightly different spread than the 32s.
I understand that the manifolds have a reducer to match the throat of the carb with the intake portion of the head...and one would "assume" that the lack of this piece in the hose may cause undesireable flow, but some folks swear by them, some swear at them. I'm stumped. Has anyone tried this low-buck approach before?
Wisdom please.....

Yes...... Works fine for me. Just make sure to use radiator hose clamps and not the cheesy little clamps found on your carbs.

I also think a bandsaw would be a good way to cut them. I used a utility knife and kinda butchered mine, but they still work fine.

I've been using them for 2 and 1/2 trouble free years....
 
thanks

thanks

That's all I needed to hear!.....Thanks for the info! :D :D :D
 
Just did this trick this weekend. Worked like a charm. They didn't come out real pretty so I may have another go at it in the future. But for now radiator hose has changed my bike from a slob into a screamer.
