Anyone tried long stacks?

Post by Image »

Has anyone on here had long stacks fitted to a storm? Did it make any power difference? Did it effect mpg?

yes and yes and yes
if you like riding in the middle rpm range then two long are for you .
they give you more grunt where you like it .
more fuel because you ride it more :crazy:

You lose a little bit of top end revs but honestly these motors make nearly all their power in the mid range so you dont really notice it I love the difference the second long stack made.

The Dr Honda parts boost midrange and keep the top end, and they sound horny as the gulp air into the engine as you give it big handfulls. They give the bike a real eager edge :thumbup:

Now that does sound appealing. Does the fuelling need tinkering with and is it easy to get them ?

Fuelling feels close without any changes from my last setup (BMC filter, race cans and a dyno jet kit) but might need a bit of a tweak on the idle air screw, as it is more prone to cough stalls.

I plan to get it onthe dyno as I want to see what they did for the power curve before and after.

They are from the USA so you have to pay freight and import duty, but still easy to get.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
