It is actually an old Yosh duct kit originally designed for the 87 750. All of the Schwantz superbikes were kitted with them. It was designed for use as a "faux airbox" (Janis had it partially right) when using velocity stacks and MIKUNI RS-Series carburetors. Normally, the air rushing beside the legs would cause the airflow underneath the tank to tumble, thus causing the intake tracts to suck the air in unevenly.

Using the duct kit vented clean air in there, and the side covers prevented the air from tumbling. The heat shield prevented excessive heat (and built 750 motors had plenty of it) from reaching the carburetors, allowing tuners to more accurately set-up the bike.

You can also use the kit on the 1100. They are extremely rare.

I think he was dude :eek:

I plan on using this someday. Of course, I bought it like, 15 years ago . . . now I am racing and old GSXR, and don't want to use it because it is too rare. Go figure!

:D

Nuttie, I knew exatly what it was, but I don't know the English words for those things so I used the most understandable words I could hoping you would have understood me...but you never do!
Mark is right, we're made to get married! [1]

ciao, Janis

[1] Because it seems husband and wife never understand each other, so this must be an impotant ingredient.
:D Yup, that is an important ingredient.

Sweet! You are about one of the very few who knew what it was. Most don't. I just bought a house in Texas, so all of my parts can finally be in the garage, along w/my shop. San Antonio here I come!

Can't wait! Bring on the CMRA.

Chris,

You coming out to the races or what?

We are racing at Thunderhill the first weekend of Sept, and at Infineon the first weekend of October (4/5) or something like that.

If you want to meet some people there, LMK. That is the place to do it. I will be heading to SA for good after the October AFM race. If my luck holds, I should ber on the podium at the banquet in January. A good friend of mine also races a TLR. He is pretty quick too. He is co-owner of Triple Digits Racing in Vacaville.

I work normal hours dude!

HA HA!

OH NO! Not more of me! I can barely control my own nuts, let alone other little nuts!

:D

I'm working on some trackday info for you. Some schools have rental bikes. They cost $$$ though.

- Nut
I am "in control" - I have way too many other things to worry about besides women these days anyway.

- Nut
You got it!

Janis,

PM me if you are serious about doing trackdays in CA. Don't remember where we were talking about it.

We'll take it off line so I can get you more info.

There was a time believe it or not that I got extremely burned out on sex.

A very LONG, fun (for a while) and sordid story. I suppose many would be envious of my position at the time, I honestly learned there is a LOT more to relationships and life than that.

fellatio
Hi Jack! How are you? :p
