Duh. Yes. Chalk it up as a "senior moment".

Either garage is too small or we have too many bikes. Or Momma's car needs to go outside.

Also, a matter of pressure. Exhaust opens to something like 100 psi where intake is doing something like 10 psi. (Maybe a little higher depending upon engine speed and intake characteristics that might create some higher pressure at certain revs.)

:-| Well, transition to home wasn't so easy. Another summer vanished like a brief dream,
nothing getting accomplished on the project. Just trying to get used to my new computer
while laying in bed. :face:

I hate getting a new computer. Nothings as it was, and it wants to put everything on "the cloud".

But, on a brighter note, it's good to hear from you!!!! You were missed.

Hi again. Your kind words go a long way. Not much to be found lately.
Yesterday was a real Friday the 13th, probably a full moon too. ?
It's really hard to use this laptop in the bed but when I get the chance
I get on this site and forget, for a while, all my problems with the exception
of the longing to work on my project and rebuild the strength to get one of
my Xs off the center stand.... :neutral:

Hey, Bob.
Glad to hear you've still got your passion for bikes.
Easy for me to say but keep fighting.

I will never lose my passion for bikes, the CBX in particular.
However I have lost my patience with beds. If I can learn to sleep
standing up I will. 8)
A little materials and design work/testing and I should be able sleep
on the bike.
