Air Filters

[Ulvetanna_imp]

That is a proven setup ion a different type of carb than most Hondas use. The Constant Velocity carb needs a specific vacuum signal to operate properly and when the airbox is removed it drastically unbalances the carbs because different amounts or air reach each individual carb. The airbox balances out the incoming ait charge and allows the CV carb to function as designed. If you have a CV carb on a single cylinder engine, then removing the air box is a mute point, but when you have to have a balanced air charge the airbox become an almost absolute necessity to make sure everything is even and balanced.

That's exactly right, Randy. Very good. All the bases have been covered here; just try it and see what happens. I can't imagine any performance gain would be possible, since pods are all about top end, and the CB1100 has no top end, the cams and ignition are tuned for midrange.

You would, however, lose a ton of bottom end and midrange.

someone please post results because I too love the look. not looking for improved performance, just need to know it doesn't mess everything up to where the bike runs poorly.

Here is a thread where MC and Jim show some pics and discuss this. I would suggest you read the whole thread:

http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....light=pods I read the entire thread. Did not see a dyno chart.

I did, however, comment on the practice of applying Automatic Transmission Fluid or any kind of "shine" to a tire.

Don't do it.
