Yes, I have R/L pods -- which I've reversed so they fit around the center post better. (This was actually the suggestion of someone else on here, I think.) Should I try swapping them? (I mean, will it make a diff?)
Originally when I did the Ghetto Freak, no, I didn't leave enough room -- a little fussing with a saw and a file fixed that pretty quickly. Right now there is 100% clearance around the pods.
No, I did not add a carb brace -- for vertical support I've been using (heh) a zip tie. Seems to work pretty well (never had the carbs pop, anyway) but I'll strongly consider the brace if folks think it'll make a big diff. They do vibrate a little when the bike runs, but i think they do that regardless... right?
