This is my first post here (though I have been lurking for a long time) and I am getting ready to remove the air box on my 08 BA. Ordered up a bracket from Tom, got my filters in the mail, already fabricated a carb supeort,etc. I have been trying to find a resource for the main and pilot jets abd ran across several recomendations to NOT remove the air box. One of these recommendations state the following:
"If you scrap the Triumph airbox you're going to have to find some pod filters to fit the carbs and either fabricate some sort of mounts for the side panels on the bike or scrap them too. You will have problems with pod filters because the CVK's are airflow operated and any slight variation between the inlet pressures can cause radically different behavior between the carbs. Inlet pressure differences can be caused by variables such as rain on the pods and airflow patterns around the bike when it's moving."
Any thoughts or comments from those of you who have done the converstion.
