Yes! The twin pack Hawk deal at $2399 shipped is a heck of a deal. I would think Don would also cut you a nice price on a triple pack of hawks.... |

Air filter
Getting to the air filter..... Impossible? Has anyone figured it out yet? It's like tucked in the frame and I can't figure out how to get the dadgum airbox open. I mean wow, I am usually good at this sorta thing...

I thought there was a video showing how the Magician airbox side cover comes off.Maybe it was a different CB.I been watching to many vids on CB bikes again.They're all running together.
Jmcgee,I just posted a thread about the Magician.Maybe you could help me out with some Q and A over there. http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=17657 |

Had to pull the inner rear fender clip, then the battery box, and airbox at the same time just to get to the filter. WOW, that was a job. The problem with a pod is the airbox is part of the inner rear fender and part of the battery box...

I think I could come up with a better solution,once I get my hands on a Magician,and still keep the airbox.I like running pods in the airbox.I have a GS500 with an open element air filter.When the wind blows in from the side,it will cause it to stall when idling,and surge when riding at speed.The GS is finicky about air delivery to the carbs tho.I know the CB bikes aren't like that.

While waiting on my tank, I have changed the main jet in the stock carb to a 112.5 (it takes mikuni jets) I changed my front sprocket to a 17, (17-45 now) added a choke cable, and the iridium spark plug swap. I may go with the pod filter, have not decided yet, not sure if the jet is big enough, I have a 130 jet but that's all i have. well a 160 but pretty sure that is way to big.

All the same I'd try and keep the air box before going to a pod, but to each his own. Nice bike btw.
