    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...

    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.

Removing air box

I have been thinking about removing the air box and putting cone filters onto the carbs. Is it as easy as just doing that or will it need to be fined tuned since it will be changing airflow a little?
 
There are lots of threads on here about doing that. You'll need to rejet so depending on what sort of bike you have will determine what you need to do (kit or trial and error).

Might want to add your bike info into your signature block (User CP, Edit Signature)
 
Unless you have a reason more than "they look cool" I would not do it.


You will need to rejet, and fine tune... May as well rebuild the carbs correctly while you are in there... If you are going to rejet, may as well go to a better exhaust... oh ya, rejet is different depending on what pipes... If you insist, at least go with high quality pods, Like K&N or APE. Don't waste the money on the cheaper EMGO or knock offs. If you go pods, you will have to tinker with your carbs just about any time the weather changes... The performance of a well tuned bike with the STOCK airbox is more than amazing.

I know this, because I run APE pods with a Kerker exhaust. Rebuilt carbs with a Dynojet Stage III kit. I tried cheaper pods, but never could get them to tune. I had to chose between replacing my damaged air box and exhaust with stock or go with pods and pipes.

IF I had known how much work and money it would be before I got it running consistantly, I would have paid the price for stock OEM parts!
