Please explain to me this quote "I hacked the velocity stack down" Pictures would be greatly appreciated. I am just lost and am not sure what people are taking about. I have made my own Force Air Box cover with Plexiglas and bolts to hold it tightly on top of the K&N air filter, but I left the filter its original size height. Please help and explain. CJ | ||

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=32777&post=171656#POS T171656 There is the original post about it, you will see some pictures of my velocity stack. I have none of it outside of the bike, though, only installed. Basically, what I did was get some high-temp silicone adhesive, then cut out about 5/8" from the tube section of the velocity stack (only, I repeat ONLY cut from the section that is the same diameter, NOT the bugled portion). After cutting that out, I beveled the inside edge of the remaining portion of the velocity stack (not the bugle). Then I slipped the bugled section back over the velocity stack tube and siliconed it together, just using my finger to smooth it out. Let it dry real well over the next day and reinstall. Basically what this does is lower the top of the velocity stack. Stock, the top lip of it is only about 3/4" below the top of the filter, which means the air flowing through the filter must travel up and around the upper lip before entering the throttle body. By lowering it, you allow the air a more direct path into the stack. It may or may not do anything at all, but I can be a horrible tinkerer at times. If you need further explanation, feel free to ask, or I may be able to get you more pictures when I break the bike down for 15K maintenance. Bryan |
