ChrisF Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I want to improve the air flow on my CVH with Ram Pipes and a bigger air filter, I currently have shallow (30mm ish) K&Ns. However I have a few problems. 1. The standard Pipercross filter will not fit...the master cyclinder is in the way. 2. The lower part of the K&N's are very close to the body work and if I increase their depth to 102mm they will just about (1mm+/-) ride over the main body. Has anyone out there fitted deeper K&N's, or any other type of pipes and filter, to their CVH? Advice on results, fit and fitting would be much appreciated.

Mark Stanton Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 The shallow filters are supposed to be good for 150BHP - which should be fine for a CVH Bigger is not necessarily better There needs to be a required amount of air pressure over the carbs - which could be decreased if you simply whack on some big uns To fit rams and a piper - you might need a new manifold angled up away from your chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Okay Mark, In my simple world, I assumed that if I improved my air intake by larger filters and dirctional air flow...I would get better torque. Are you telling me I cannot improve on my little pancakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 You can improve your torque and BHP - but simply throwing on a big filter may not necessarily be the way forward - C ya at Curborough Have a look at this BHP/Torque 1600CVH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
