Modifications to Stock Airbox to clear out the A-frame

[nvr2old]

This is how I did the air box and filter on my Honda 550. Stock box, outside K&N. Works great, no jet mods at all.

CV carbs don't seem to much like velocity stacks, but they certainly do look cool. Pods are not as bad as stacks as they do provide some intake vacuum that lets the carbs work acceptably well. As for performance, it depends on how you are defining performance. In terms of power it isn't that hard to beat stock. Pods and a good pipe will add significantly (mine is easily 10% more, probably closer 15% at this point) but it is tougher to do that and equal the driveability of the stock set up at the same.

Maybe that explains my my bst34ss with KN pods, cv flatslide carbs off a gsxr, are not smooth like everybody says cv carbs are. They are on off from the idle position when driving, say turning into a street.

VM33's are going back on anyways.

Try a 1/4 turn richer on the mixture screws. If that doesn't help try another 1/4 turn. If that doesn't help then they need a more fundamental rework and the VM33's are the way to go.
