Tank Raising.
Is it worth doing this?? My K&N arrives tomorrow, just wondering if it is worth me doing this too, and what i get from doing this.
Thanks |

I got a big boost, but then on my bike the Rene air filter bumps the tank, so the spacers solved that problem.

you might get a slight improvement in airflow, but I couldn't notice it.
However you do get a better induction noise, sounds great. Cheers Mark.

Ian, from what i can see... you get a couple of spacers to put where you would normally put the alen screws... thus, lifting (raising) the tank.
Sounds like it may be worth a try... even just for the noise. |

I've just bought some tank raisers from Chewy - purely to get a bit of induction noise as pointed out by Rictus (I'm just a big kid at heart
 )see http://www.chewys-stuff.co.uk/ well made & prompt service. Only got them this morning so can't say whether they work or not, until I put them on at the weekend. |

It doesn't do any harm, and is easy to reverse. Cheers Mark.
