Grittty not pretty build

Cheers,
Had to bring the headers in about 10mm and fit bigger flanges.
I have to take out the airbox tomorrow to see if I can wind the Supertrapp behind the cylinder.
So I'll stick on a K&N. Any recommends for jetting with that?
J6G1Z:
What are you trying to do? Mount up a high pipe or mid pipe? Why are you wanting to do that? Down pipes don't let water get into the engine.
The stock bikes run pretty good with the stock twin-wall down tubes & an after-market muffler.
There is also a very nice performance header available from ThumperStuff: http://www.thumperstuff.com/FT500.html
The common jetting upgrade is the Main & Low-Speed jets changed to a #145 & a #58 like is described in this posting: http://ascot500.com/index.php?topic=10.0 This works well with the air-box in place. I removed my air box & fit a UNI filter (I do not recommend K&N filters. They pass too much dirt into the engine.) and my jetting needs to be worked on. I have a dead spot about mid throttle that needs to be resolved.
Good luck
J.

when I get the jetting right with the K&N I'll post it up

The XL Supertrapp was APIA to wrap around the frame, so I went with a slimline Japanese "Supersound" / 7 disc's.
So didnt remove the airbox & fit the K&N filter.
Sounds good, same throttle response. Paint and prettyness later

That looks wild! Why are you going upswept with the exhaust? Looks like you might need a heat shield for your leg, lol
