Did I make a mistake?

RE: sorry wrong answer
I've never heard of using paper eithor. But like I said earlier, he seems like he knows what he's talking about. I got a guy with a shop here and he's pretty respected. He's the one that told me I could take the airbox lid off or use the individual filters. But congradulations, you are the high bidder on ebay and should have a new set of carbs soon. I'll ship all the rest of the stuff you wanted with those so you can save on shipping.

$1200 total with the initial $500 bike. Now what I'm curious is that was it worth it buying the F2 as a track bike, and should I have saved up a bit more and just got an SV or something like that. Pretty much is the F2 suited for the track?

There should be a class for SV's and older 600's,

Individual filters,or "pod" filters are used on flatslide carbs,also called smoothbore carbs.Sounds like your guy is a drag racer.I don't know much about it,from a competitors point of view.These bikes don't use the same theory as an old push-rod Chevy motor by shoving more open air for more power.Intake velocity is where good horsepower starts.On our bikes,the airbox helps make this.

Pardom me for making a squid comment but what is the difference on flatside carbs? I'm no carb expert, I just know they are a pain in the ***. I work on my own bike and do almost all my own mods but carbs and internals I take to my shop. He's an older head and has a great reputation in my area. Almost everyone I know sends their bike to this guy and waits 4-6 weeks just to get in.
