I have heard this from many people, but I guess I just dont understand it..what makes it creates more power?? Would it be worth the work? Thanks

[smith_400ex_213]

the choke plate there causes air flow restrition...and by taking it out increases air flow in return make a little bit more power with the proper jettiing

You can paint or polish some stuff...

chain guard

or whatever you can think of

Just mesure and mask the area with tap ( to make straigh lines ) then that a sharp razor blade knife and cut along the lines. don't try to rush it. take you time and cut just a little at a time. it could take 10-15 pass to cut tru. then cut the shape you want from a spare peice of plastic. then sodder (sp) it on the sides. you should soder from the underneat of the fender so you don't see the mess.

You could even put some chrome mesh grill behind that opening and make it look pretty trick

This is a swivel hose. Not a must, but keeps your hose from getting all twisted up in the stem. I like it and its cheap!

Parking brake block-off. I think this thing makes a world of difference in looks in the back rather than that big ugly PB. Cheap too and takes off weight...
