Coast to Coast
Ok, so I posted this over on the XS forum but thought I would post here as well.
I have noticed the vast majority of velocity stacks either don't have a filter, or use a screen which is more restrictive than a good filter. So for my bike I made a set of stacks that will let me mount a Uni pod filter. Using that as a base I modified my program to fit the BS38 carbs on an XS650, now I am curious if there is enough interest in stacks of this style to look into getting a CNC lathe to produce them, or if an occasionally making a set at work would be enough. They are 6061, 2.75" long and take a 3"ID pod. If there is interest a set would be $60 plus shipping.
If enough people want them for other bikes I could program others, but I would need someone local that I could measure the carbs and provide a set at material cost.
My ultimate goal is to have a side business at home with my own equipment making a few parts like the stacks to sell and being able to take some custom work as well.
