    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.

GSXR/Katana Upgrades on my 550EF

Holy crap, so they aren't simple bolt-ons that you can clamp down? That might be an issue. I was hoping there was still a clamp-on filter out there for our carbs.
 
it's one of the first upgrades that isn't a direct bolt-on.....but it's a simple job and you'll see that the carb boots slide into these filters as if they were meant to be;)
 
Exhaust mod just needs paint now!!!!

Kerker 4into1 Header, custom mid-pipe, GSXR750 can:
 
clean looking pipe, the muff looks good if not a little "long" (my .02) how dose it sound?
 
maybe a little long........I shortened a different pipe and it didn't look right:D.

I went with the long piper to get the angle up in the air more......sound clip/movie uploading now:cool:
 
let me just say ombray it took me the good part of a 1/2 hr to open the exhaust mod link (dial up :o) and it was worth it! it sounds great and the pics you took of the rear sets didn?t do them justice, they really pop out in the vid and look outstanding
 
sorry about the twist of the throttle while holding the camera......I have to hold the choke right now to keep it running......tomorrow it goes into the shop for new jets/tuning:D

PODS and 4to1 require a good tune afterwards.......especially at 8000 feet!

I have the L (cruiser) version of this engine/carbs so I dunno if I can even use the Dynojet Stage 3. According to online microfiche our carbs have different jetting and a few different parts, but that MAY be because your intake and exhaust are different from mine. I'm hoping that using pods and a 4-in-1 make our intake/exhaust similar enough that I can use the Dynojet kit designed for the E (sportbike) model.

Bike looks pretty good so far!
