I'm having a great time modding this thing, so how hard is it to put a BBK/A9 on? Same as most of the other stuff? Typical garage tools? In the meantime, I will probably try what I said above already. I don't drive this thing to work or anything, it's just for fun  |

I'm going to go back up to 100 first, then I'll give the airbox a try for sure, thanks.
Saw something in another thread about putting some holes and PVC with Uni filter material in airbox, sounded reasonable.
Still curious about the technical happenings in my original post though. What causes the boost, why it won't consistently go over 7000 rpm, etc?

So I originally went all the way up to 110 main jet after all my mods to figure out why I wasn't getting any top speed. I have the 4g sliders in now, so I'm getting into the ~7500 RPM area. Things were running great, buck sucking away all of my gas. Yesterday, I downjetted to the  to try to balance the power with fuel efficiency. I noticed that I would get this really awesome speed boost, even uphill, at around 7200-7500 RPM, but the problem is that I can't always get up to that RPM, sometimes it bogs and won't pass 7000. What causes that speed boost? How can I make it happen consistently? What upgrades/mods should I do? Why does it bog at 7000 sometimes, but sometimes go up to 7500/8000? Should I upjet back to something like 100 or 105? Thanks in advance! |

Yea, that's why I was looking into the steel Eagle safety can... just not sure if it will fit.

Hey guys, Is there a known gas can that fits perfectly in the standard "handsome boy" under seat bucket?  I was looking at this one, I think it will fit: www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-10-FS-Galvanized-Gasoline-Capacity/dp/B0002YW4USI measured it, but the height might be a tight fit with the way the seat/carb cover is shaped. I used to have a 1.25 gal red plastic container from Wal-Mart that I sat on its side, but the new spring-loaded safety valve broke, and I'm not going back! Any other suggestions appreciated! |

Manifold?
How do you not spill gas everywhere? It comes out of the drain, the petcock line, and the overflow tube thing... sorry I don't know the correct terms of things.

4g sliders are where it's at! I was able to get up to 45/50mph at around 7500 rpm.
The #110 mj definitely brought the power back that I lost with the exhaust/4g sliders, but my fuel tank is definitely suffering now.
Maybe I will try the #100 sometime... I just hope I don't lose any power because the whole carb removal process is tedious.

The air filter is just a foam cylinder clamped onto the carb, not sure where it would leak. 4.5g sliders were better, but just barely hit 7000 rpm, 35 mph tops. Going to go back to 4g with this new jetting and see how it does. My bike is heavy, the air is hot and humid, so it kinda makes sense... We'll see how it goes.

Installed a 110 jet! Exhaust sounded a lot better, got up to 6000 rpm quickly, and went to 30-35 tops. Maybe it's this humid Florida swamp weather? Going to try 4.5g slider mix... I need that boost at 7500 rpm to get over 30 mph, I think.
