If anyone comes up with a procedure for duplicating that carb splitter I'm very interested. | ||

It's a 2 1/4 inch exhaust band clamp there real wide with 2 bolts to clamp it. I took an cut out between the bolt hole is 1 1/2 inches. I just order one from a company that make them in 1 1/2 wide i'll let u know how it works out. | ||

Evilbetty, That correct the clamp i cut up to make it. | ||
| Ezblast |
Thumpe/Dan - which company is that? Trying to ge a lead on and try making one for a group of rides coming up. EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
EZ, The new clamp i just order is from Pypes Performance Exhaust. | ||
| Ezblast |
Thank you! - I'm on it! EZ | ||

gotta love it when the isolator mount bolts back off while your riding  | ||
| Ezblast |
The new ones won't - lol - I had to pre-assemble them just so I could put the right amount of torque on them - they've made them really tight and their grade is 8.8. EZ | ||

Quick Question Why does the rear wheel have to be jacked up to change the primary fluid? Thanks | ||
| Thumpe |
The only thing u can try is get a piece 2 1/4 ID pipe an tighten the clamp on to stretch the band out. A little at a time so you don't stretch it to far keep check as you go. (Message edited by Thump-e on November 03, 2008) | ||

It doesn't. It just has to be level. If you put jack stands on either side of your wheel with a shaft between, and it's still on the ground, you're good so long as it's level. | ||

Where can i get one of these? Without the splitter..just the piece that connects to the carb?  | ||
| Thumpe |
I made that piece by hand an why wouldn't you want the splitter it works great? | ||
| Imadreadhead |
wanna make me one? Ill send money now through paypal? Maybe 2 | ||
| Thumpe |
I made this in my garage on my work bench all with hand tools.    (Message edited by Thump-e on November 06, 2008) | ||

Can you use these with a stock air box? | ||
| Imadreadhead |
you probably could | ||
| Thumpe |
No the stack is to long to fit in the stock air box. | ||
| Thumpe |
You could probably make a shorter one to fit in the stock air box. (Message edited by Thump-e on November 06, 2008) | ||
| Ezblast |
But you could clamp on a custom stack filter - filters out to .025 - or clamp on a pro-series filter, or any of several K&N universals. EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
That is the better way to go in less u really want to keep the stock look. | ||
| Thumpe |
Hey EZ, You try stretching that clamp out? | ||
| Ezblast |
No I'm still looking over possibilities on that, though Pypes Performance Exhaust does have a wide single clamp the right size - just barely, but I'm going to order it and find out. EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
WOW! EZ, I just got that new clamp this thing is heavy duty for shore your not stretching this thing lol and it's only 1 1/4 wide to small! Have to go back to cutting up the wide ones i didn't use Pypes clamp on the one i did it was an EasySeal an if you need to adjust you can stretch them if need be.

Pypes Performance Exhaust - clamp HVC21 - could work? EZ | ||
| Thumpe |
I got the HVC25 way to heavy the band's to thick. The hardware to big too. When i cut wide band one up i use smaller stainless allenhead bolt alot lighter setup. I think the thiner band going to give u more even pressure around das boot then the thicker band to rigid. (Message edited by Thump-e on November 04, 2008) | ||

Well I got two carb gaskets - so this weekend I'll fab one up and check it out on the daily rider. EZ | ||
| Thumpe |

Is there a way to identify the currently installed jets in your carb? Are they labeled in any way? | ||
| Ezblast |
yes - the jets number is etched onto them. EZ |
