Would nickle plating hurt the frame or make it brittle like chrome?

Hi I noticed that you did the whole four airfilter pod thing and the stage three kit. Would you recommend this? Does it make that much difference over a stage one? Does it hurt file economy? Just curious.

The silver race bike, I ran a modified air box and one jet bigger on a Stage I Dyno jet kit. The stage III, Factory Pro was to match up with the K&N pods. I'm happy with the results so far and will hope to put on a dyno soon.

What size air filters fit? I'm not quite sure what o measure.

TJS · « **Reply #36 on:** October 25, 2011, 09:47:28 AM »

They are oval shaped. Use K&N RU-1824. see page 2 of forum

I also noticed what looks like metal foot pegs on your bike. What did they come off of?? I haven't been able to find metal pegs for a gsf400 anywhere.

There are hundreds of metal foot pegs on ebay that will fit. I picked up 3 sets of these and got them to fit in both the driver and passenger so have one spare set...

Cool! Thanks that really helps because i wanted metal pegs but didnt want to swap the rear sets with one from a gsxr..... oh and i managed to find a complete set of carbs like you recommended, they were pretty cheap and now i have some spare parts, win win.

TJS, hows the build coming along? I'd be interested to see a big full bike picture.

TJS · « **Reply #41 on:** November 06, 2011, 10:01:49 PM »

Lanky,
I will be tearing it down soon. Send frame to Nic plate, service forks, bearings, etc... Motor work? Need to see about $$. I will for sure start taing it apart in December. Check the youtube for around the bike.

TJS · « **Reply #42 on:** November 20, 2011, 11:03:19 AM »

$$$ is tight, but I will start tear down late Dec.. I did put new brake lines on today.
