Foz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 What would be the differences in fitting either 36 or 38mm flatslides to a 1216 bandit. I currently have 38's fitted but am considering fitting a set of 36's in the hope of picking up more midrange . Benefits / disadvantages ??? Quote Link to comment
canamant Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 what are you doing with the "spare" set ? Quote Link to comment
Foz Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 They'll be sold once I've decided which set to use. Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 What else have you done Foz ? You could get better torque with decent flowing, adding bell mouths with foam filters, getting jetting spot-on with some dyno work. You might've done all of those , it's just the areas I've had some good results with in the past. I've always found that cv carbs give the nicest first half of power curve and then the f.slides do their stuff. Haven't swapped between 36/38mm flatties to directly compare - just tried to make the most of what I've got normally. FBOB has done loads of o.c. combinations - engines/ carbs - hopefully he'll spot your post Foz. Quote Link to comment
MeanBean49 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 38's on a tuned motor when i was messing about gave better mid range and top end power. The 36's were a bit better at the bottom end but not massively. And nowhere near as good as a set of CV's. Thats just the nature of not having a vaccume slide. I would just stick with 38's and try some long inlet trumpets, that should improve mid range 1 Quote Link to comment
Foz Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 The heads heavily worked with oversize valves ,HD springs and retainers ,11k cams, 1216,full akrapovic headers nd yoshimura can, I've yet to dial the cams in, just fitted on bandit sprockets. I've got some slotted sprockets to fit which I hope will add to the midrange somewhat. The carbs are rs38's with 35mm bellmouths and foam filters never got to the bottom of who did the headwork 1 Quote Link to comment
