I squeezed a Ramair into mine. The squished up crossed over unis just didnt look right for me.
This one has a metal backing plate, but I am waiting on delivery of an all foam version that I hope will just fit over the rear of the carbs
Thanks for the tip.  I'm giving one a try.

Does the Ramair performance sock just slip over the bellmouths without clamps? And where do we buy them?

They are made to fit over velocity stacks. that is the way I fitted them to the RS36 flat slides on my 82 katana.
I am going to try them directly over the bellmouths to start. The frame is right behind to keep them from moving too much.
Gotta buy them from England unfortunately, direct from ramair or from their ebay store. there are some different hole spacing options so check out their site for the correct model number.

Motogpwerks had a post on facebook that he was making something similar, but its not on his website

I tested compression (132-135) and kicked it for a first start.  Please keep in mind this is just a first kick.  No tuning.  No coolant system is hooked up yet, so I only ran it about 30 seconds.  The idle is high, for sure.  Otherwise, it sounds pretty strong.

I've been spending lots of time behind the counter at my local auto parts stores digging through hoses to find the best combinations.  I mostly have it figured out, except the plastic angle.



Appreciate the recommendation for the RamAir socks.  It's a stretch fit, but a fit nonetheless.  Pretty simple design.  I think I'm going to try my hand at making my own from UNI filter sheets.

for coolant lines, try some mandrel bent stainless from megs. then flare the ends and tight bend coolant lines.

It's a molded hose.  It won't collapse.

Going with a Trail Tech Vapor.  Nice thing about the Trail Tech is the thermostat sensor threads into the LC head.
