greenmonster:
I finally got my gnarly pipe and moose spacer on WOW!! I thought I had jumped on a tractor on N20!! Big change to the low end,I now ride a gear higher for tight woods(3rd) and still have a good ol kx5 top end.As for the one kick starts you guys were right on the money it almost makes you lazy.Yes I can tell I lost a little on the top end but I hardly have 5th gear polished mainly riding in the woods,so I will never miss it. :D

Paul:
Put a 14oz Steahly on there and you can tractor with an XR650 and then turn around and blow the doors of it :lol:

Scouter:
Did the spacer, by moving the carb back, require any modifications to the air box?

Paul:
No, it's just tight. Making needle changes is more difficult because the spacer moves the carb ALMOST - not quite - behind the frame rail. For me though, the benefit was well worth the tighter clearance.
