Is the bike running? I'd throw the stock air box back on.

airbox and that thing has been slammed down way too low to be ride-able

 

[AlejandroAlvarez]

Why the stock airbox? And yea i noticed is low

 

[xb33bsa]

impossible to get it running good with pods
raise the front back up to flush with the top clamp and buy some good shocks stock length sprung and valved for you

It is not impossible, it just takes effort and some knowledge about how carbs work. Do some research on the topic, there is PLENTY of info out there.

This is what going for , except all black , and clip ons , i really hate the way the stock
Airbox looks

 

[xb33bsa]

too bad for you :'( are you going to fucking look at the bike or ride it ?

A "cafe" and a "brat" are two distinctly different styles. You are talking brat. No such thing as a cafe brat. My .02.

Most that claim they have a DOHC Honda running "well" on pods doesn't know what a good running engine sounds/feels like.

Most a just interested int he look and fine with it "kinda" running.
Only see a few miles. Mostly pushed around for different angles for the pipeburn feature....
