Yeah, yeah, but whoever put it on janked up alot of the factory stuff, so going back isnt an easy option. Besides, it will probably get a sniper setup eventually, so may as well live with it til then. It runs, gonna put miles on it an hopedully drive it to GSMTR in a week. Trial by fire as someone once said.
you might try some type of rigged up heat shield to try and mitigate the radiated heat from impacting the carb/fuel system with what you have now. And see what options might be for cool air path to air intake.
