    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You can post up to TEN pictures per post if you follow directions given. :-k

You need to host the pictures on a picture hosting site, not GSR. Most are free, some are better than others, but all of them reduce the load on the GSR servers. When hosted, post the IMG link to each picture, along with an extra space between them, you can do ten full-size pictures per post. Oh, it also helps if the pictures are not FULL size that some cameras can do. A picture that is 800x600 is very comfortable.

Why was the setup cheap? Just cos it was not a name brand filter?
It looked functional to me though a bit space consuming.
 
It was cheap because... well, it honestly was cheap. I think it was under $20 each pod, and then I drilled and plumbed breather lines to them. The rubber boots were cracking really bad, so I dropped a little coin for the K&Ns - they were only $21 each!
 
Where did you get the breather hose filter? Do you remember the OD/ID of the rubber bit? My 450 hose is currently just venting onto my crankcase and in the cold weather has been dripping...

Was there any advantage of running the breather tube back into the pods? I was under the impression that it is only set up that way originally to please the emissions folks.

I got the breather filter at Autozone, and then had to cobble up a means of fixing it to the breather. I snipped a short bit of the OEM breather tube, clamped a hard plastic nipple in one end of said tube, and then slipped the filter down over the other end of the nipple. Turned out a LOT cleaner looking than I thought it would. :)

As for T-ing the breather tube back into the pods, I just did that because that's how the stock airbox is set up. The only advantages I could imagine are some upper cylinder lube and somewhat negative crankcase pressure at WOT - supposedly that's a good thing?
