Some say the spacer keeps the reeds in better shape as they are not as close to the turbulent crank air turbulence. I only run mine so my stock dual 38 air box clears my girdled head.

The spacer adds to crankcase volume which I have been told can detract from bottom end response. I would suggest avoiding the spacer also as it increases the chance of air leaks. I would only use the spacer if it was a functional need as suggested above (clearance) .

I just installed a girdled head as well i guess ill run it if will help improve reed life thanks

Just read the last post i have aftermarket flame arrestors so clearance isnt an issue

Anybody ran there setup with and without ?

Ok had to use the spacer filters wouldnt clear my head without it

I took my RN I had years ago to Xscream for some tuning work and that is the first thing he ditched. Not needed unless you need it to clear your f/a.

Ditch it! As mentioned above, they increase crankcase volume and lower low end power. Not good for freestyle. They were designed for racing primarily for strokers to reduce reed flutter at high rpms.

Took everyones advice and altered my setup a little now running no spacer thanks for all the help
