    cheers fella , to be honest I don't really know I think dave ( duckanddive) is your man, the Gsx air cooled lump was different altogether than the bandit , I do know my mate bought a kit of eblag for a grand but then he had to bore to 81 mm and buy some busa 1st gen Pistons and job done with some extra parts like af meter and boost gauge . Mine was a one off fabrication with great thanks to my mate who is a demon with a tig welder and me doing the engine. 

    Cheers, so £1k plus for a standard 'ish set up?

    CDI doesn't like it when there is nowhere for the big jolt to go to.  Could just lay the plugs on the head and allow them to spark.

     

    Not sure why you would remove Ht lead, remove plugs then put Ht lead back on the plugs unless you were chicking for spark???

    Yep they look to be a good price - but it begs the question - why ? 

    Any more first hand experience info would be good . Cheers 

    I've got one of their end cans, quality is good and solid. Price may be cheaper 'cos they don't seem to advertise aggresively so must be able to keep costs dow. Phone them up and speak to them... that's what I did.

    I don't think that making the carburators cooler is the main goal of the heatshield. 

    I think that keeping the carburators a more consistant temperature, is the biggest benefit. When riding slow, theres less cooling so the temperature of the caburators will increase fast, when riding fast theres more cooling but the temperature of the carburators won't decrease very fast because they will be around hot air of the already hot engine. So a lot of variables in the af ratio.

    A two stroke is very sensitive on the inlet temperature. You can get some extra horses and easily kill some horses just by the inlet (environment) temperature. A four stroke is less sensitive but is does matter.

    So if you could make the variables in the af ratio smaller, you should reach less loss in horsepower over all (think when you race on the track, fast part, slow parts).

     

    Like going round a race track.... fast?  Not really beneficial for road use?

    ^ Oil cooler will cope with this easily, plus you've got a lot of airflow around the engine.

    Trick with the heat shield is it's actually stabilising Cooler air around the inlets. Sure, not like a full airbox, which can be optimised for maximum fresh, cool air arriving with laminar flow, in this configuration there's bound to be a lot of turbulance, but carbs respond well to cool air that's not running away in the opposite direction to which they're trying to suck.

    More importantly it's a handy shelf for you to put down a spanner when you're working on another area of the bike. That's always cool, until you forget it's there. :ph34r:

    I've often wondered why carbs were'nt forward facing on bikes to get max air flow? Or is too much too good?

    anyone have a guess what bhp my bike should be putting out , getting it on the dyno soon as weather clears up as its running slightly rich . bandit 12 mk1 motor with dothead and cams, duel ramair filters - stage 3 dyno jet - v&h sidewinder pro pipe (baffled) i am guessing about 125bhp ? dont want to run nitrous yet until engine is set-up right then i got 20 shot in each carb so i gather that will add 80bhp ontop or am i being optamistic.....what other mods would you recommend

    I think fatblokeonbandit uses that set up.... think he gets more than 125bhp though

    I think they just look big [in that picture] because they are close together dude.....

    Cheers, Must be nice having young eyes. Thought it looked like an oil line.....
