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.

So, you need to measure the distance from one red mark to the second red mark. Then measure the distance between the two blue marks. Make sure that you're measuring the distance between carb 1 and 2 or between 3 and 4. The distance between 2 and 3 isn't necessarily the same as the other two.
If you do it correctly then you'll use the part of the calipers circled in red to measure the red marks, and the blue for the blue:
Simply add up the two numbers you got and divide by two. That will be the distance between the carbs.
They need to be near 2.938" or 75mm.
Let us know how it goes.

Ok maybe not better but EQUAL. Better in a sense that you are getting equivalent quality for a good price. You just dont get the K&N name.
Ive got a few friends with them and they love them. Will get a pair for my gsx once summer is over and I can rip them out and measure the carb throat diameter!

Set of K&N RC-0984
Rob,
I've got a set of K&N RC-0984 filters for 82 GS1100EZ (my bike). Brand new, ordered them, then decided against playing the jetting game so I never installed. They have the chrome caps and 54mm flange. You can have them for 50 bucks plus whatever shipping cost would be. Let me know if you're interested.

Popping on decel/higher temps when lean
black smoke/backfiring when rich.
Or it just won't run if it is way off.
Run a plug check is one way to see if you're running a good tune (other than just riding it).

That makes sense. It's been popping on decel since I bought it (3 months & 500 miles ago), and I just figured that was normal, or because the V&H needs repacking. (I've been off two wheels for 24 years.)
A week ago I learned it's supposed to have a lid on the air box, which it doesn't, so it's lean.
Thanks, I'm trying to learn (I practically sleep with the manual).
