violentholeshot Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 i'm sure i'm not the only one that has run into this problem,just put 35m airstrykers on and the clutch cable rubbs likea champ,question is don't know where to get a thick pair of spacers,everyone sells them,but no one ever say's how thick they are,are they 1/4,3/8,3/4? it's like evryones spacers are for better mix and not to solve clearence issues,some body got a recommendation?i've got room and either 1/2 or 3/4's would be just what i need,ooohhh and maybe i will get a better mix to,how exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave I. Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 what intakes are you using? you can bend the clutch arm down to clear the bowl and grind some of the bowl drain nut off to get a little more clearance. i think most reed spacers are 3/8 and 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) i just adjusted (bent) the clutch arm down a little. i know that sounds bad, but i dont really want to put spacers in. i have heard that you loose performance using reed spacers.

K&t performance told me to put my spacers brtween the reeds and carbs. I too have a clearence problem, but i have RDZ bowls. tim at k&T said reeds on cylinders=torque, spacers on cylinders=top end. good luck.

jbooker82 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 If you get a Boss Racing Intake you wont need reed spacers. It moves the carbs up and back a little so it wont rub. It also has a built in crossover tube so there isnt one in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
