For the street, two long. For the track, two short.

would you say it is a noticeable difference between the two?

Depends if you notice it.
It's all down to the way you use the engine.
For only a few pounds for a spare airbox, the best way is to just try it.
You'll always be able to pass on a spare pair of stacks if you don't like it.

Where's your sense of adventure?

I fitted two long Honda standard stacks and noticed a difference to low down pulling power. As Tony says for a few quid it's worth trying it out. Good luck

Very happy

I now have 2 sets of standard for sale I will put an add up later

Sorry officer
The voices made me do it

Yeh. Mine runs a lot better with the shorties but thats with different cams in.
It felt flat up top with 2 long and didnt want to rev out.
Longs will work better on a standard engine if you ride it low to mid rpm.

had a sudden change of heart and have decided to fit the short ones as i do use the bikes revs quite a lot, and if i dont like it they arent too hard to swap
