Gradually making progress on this rebuild, just don't have much time to update this thread. (Every time I log in I have to spend 20 minutes blocking spammers trying to make accounts! It's getting pretty lame.) I have been periodically posting on the Facebook group though.
Anyway, I finally figured out what I want to do with the intake. I went with dual K&N pod filters. It took me a while to find the right size, but I now have them installed so I wanted to put that model number up here for reference.
Model Number RC-1822 and I paid ¥12,000 for the set. The flange inner diameter is 51mm (the carb intakes are 49mm) so I was worried that they were a bit big, but after installation, I think they seated quite well. We'll know when I fire up the engine after getting the wiring harness and electricals all sorted. I was happy that they didn't touch each other as I was worried about damage from friction/vibration. They also leave plenty of room under the tank for me to fit all the electrical connections that we
Of course after I bought those, I found Daytona Filters with an inner flange diameter of 49mm at half the price! Although I haven't looked up the outside diameter of the pods, I think they'd fit without problem.
The best exhaust I could find is a pair of Shotgun Mufflers from K&W Buhinya.
They are designed for the Virago 250, but as it is the same engine, they should fit. I'm pretty sure that they are the same pipes as on this bike.
Next, I need to find the right kit to re-jet so it can handle all that air flow. There are a few blogs in Japanese that I have been reading that have advice on rejetting. Once I get it sorted, I'll try to write a post about it.
It feels good to be making progress and I really can't wait to get the electricals all sorted so I can fire it up. I finally got the tank cleaned and prepped and ordered some new bars - so it is just a matter of time now. (And weather - it was too cold to be out there today. Thus, this post.)
