Guys are the racked FCR's supposed to fit in the 750/900. Just pulling the Mikunis out this afternoon to replace with FCR's on my 900 and they do not fit up. Theey hit the battery tray straps before they fit into the rubber mounts properly. I've been searching but haven't come across it yet. I expected they would fit exactly where the Mikunis were but the float bowls hit.

Not a big issue for me as I was tossing up removing the battery tray for bigger air filter clearance but it would have been nice if they did fit so I could try with some old foam filters. Are the 750 motors just that bit shorter enough that they fit without hitting.

Alternate fitting suggestion

I was originally looking for splits but cost was a big factor. Couldn't find any second hand and by the time I got a full kit with throttle, manifolds, carbs and filters new it would have been close on double the cost of the racked set I have as I already had the Mikuni manifolds and got a second hand racked set with everything.

Battery tray is gone now. Just tossing up filter options and whether I should move the cross brace forward to get bigger filters with better bellmouths in. Not sure if it's really worth the effort.

How well do those mesh filters work, I have read they are not so good for flow but would probably clear the crossbrace.

Beautiful work!
Maybe K&N pods would flow better than the foam pods. Might be an option for a street bike. Maybe using a Lithium battery might free up some space for bigger filters.
