carb/airbox question

[XS1100_OEM4ME]

I agree, and was thinking that even if I jump to pods, I will probably figure out a way to gut the airbox and put the pods on the ends of the existing stacks. That would hide the pods, keep the look of the box, and still make it easier to get the carbs in and out.

Glad to see someone that thinks the "looks" of these bikes is part of the class they have. Yes, there are lower restrition air flow filters out there and lower back pres. exaust. Yamaha could have done both easy. Rember how they set QTR records and many firsts doing it this way?

Won't run right???

Man, somebody sold you a bill of goods. Mine runs like you wouldn't believe. Picks up in three gears, even POWER at ALL RPM's to 9000 easy!

Nice bike! glad to see you kept the stock air box look. Not saying you cant make one faster with mods, the record qtr mile time was set in its day with an 1100 very modified. Just saying these bikes were great the way yamaha designed them also JMHO

Back in 1978, Yamaha having produced the worlds quickest production bike in the 1320 was done on showroom stock scoot, not modified. The only mod was the rider, PeeWee Gleason who rode all manufacturers bikes for top 1/4mile times. Think he was 125lbs. and definitely could make a scoot scoot down the tarmat!
