TS1 Frame Clearance

[soulsurfer]

What's the minimum acceptable frame clearance on a TS1 inlet manifold? I have LTH manifold with Yamaha block and 5mm packer in conjunction with a protech shock, I've managed to gain about 1mm with the aid of a Dremmel but loathed to remove any more. Is 1mm going to cause me any problems or is it passable?

Offset cones give you about 5mm more.

[soulsurfer]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, already using them

Use 2 stage boysens, bin the reed stops and loose the 5mm packer. Simples!

[matthew]

Oh, and I forgot, use two gaskets between the reed block and the cylinder.

will losing the 5mm plate not block the boost ports even with boysen reeds?

[matthew]

not if you lose the reed stops!

[Stampede]

use a shorter rear shock - R1 or similiar!

but it lowers the exhaust - ground clearance....

i wouldnt lose the reed stops they are there for a reason, no stops or even bent to open too much will end in you fukin them and you stuck at the side of the road with the reeds mullered

I'm sure Matthew has done may 000's of trouble free miles with this set-up plus V-Force don't have stops either.

Does the performance improve without the stops Matt?

Are you sure
Why would I change my purpose built Protech shock for a made to suit motorcycle shock used in a totally different manner that is known to be flawed? BTW the shock is 300mm long, same as the R1 I believe.
