    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.

bellmouth question, again

how will a heat shield between the bellmouths and the battery "space" affect the air flow to the carbs. will it have an adverse effect or maybe a vortex effect with the air rushing in, hitting the shield and getting sucked in by the carbs? :confused:
 
If it's a heat shield, it should be on the motor side of the carbs

As to your question, probably no effect. Bellmouths don't need much space to suck air
 
Most commonly you place a heat shield between the carbs and the engine / cylinder head to keep the fuel in the carbs as cool as possible. Don't see much point in putting one as a firewall between the engine and the "electronics department"

As for adverse effects: doubtful. The engine can only suck in so much air and the heat shield won't restrict the intake in any way that I can see.
 
not so much a firewall just a bit of protection and a bit of cosmetic hardware, just dont know how bellmouths react compared to pods as far as air intake, pulsing goes
 
maybe drilling some holes in the heat shield may help the air flow as when i am sat on the bike my legs cover the whole sides of the carbs so they arent really getting the air flow around them when the bike is moving forward?
