Its one of the things at the top of my future mod list. Ive heard that spacers make a huge difference in performance but Im not sure if the increased air-flow would lean the mix out too much.

If you're rejetting/mapping anyway, then yep. On mine it was worth one extra jet size up top. Not sure what that would equate to in power terms, not very much, but it'd be daft not to take advantage unless you have an aesthetic objection (it does look a little ugly)

I got Chewy's, because they're purty. Doorstops would work

I used some brass plumbing washers from homebase and with some longer bolts. A*se dyno didnt show any improvements - and I am truly doubtful of any performance at all from it. My big benefit was my legs actually fitted under the tank better - it lifted it just enough to get a knee in the groove - made hanging on around corners easier.

Forget performance, makes a better induction noise
