    Best for which purpose?
    They both have advantages.

      Cv if you are keeping the air box.slide if you are doing up pods. Cv's are harder to tune for pods than slides

        Hey up Doc
        Thanks for the reply,
        I've been running the bike with a 82 engine with CV's but I've just got hold of a 78 engine which I was going to rebuild the topend before putting it in, it's all because I ain't kick started a bike for 30 years
        Anyway the bike will running
        air pods (air box long gone)
        4into1
        I have some 650 cams which I'm told can help things????
        I'm not trying to break any world speed records as this is all about slowing me down ( have a Bandit in the garage I also have pins n plates in my spine So I need to slow things down BUT not all the way I'm not dead yet)
        Anyway thanks for any help mate
        ps Freebirds my all time favourite 12" of coarse
        Cheers Ru
