yeah well they're not exactly screamers below 3 k anyhow if she's idling smooth I'd wait
to "screw" with it until you stick the box on it and sync it up

OK I don't mind tinkering, my job only requires me to work from home about 2 hrs a day, so I am absolutely made of time. Hell if I can get it running perfect on the pods I might not even put the air box on there, we'll see.

Your logic is sound if you get 'em sweet with the pods why bother !

Haha I am all the way at the other end of 95 from you, down in Florida. I dig this CBR a lot its the youngest one of about 15 bikes that I own, all vintage rides (is a 1987 considered vintage yet?), and about half of them are in some state of being rebuilt, so I don't mind working on it but yeah if I have it running right, then I get to play with another one
