well you was wrong moto, mikes billet intake is same size as stock, its the v2 reeds and tudors spacer plate that is the problem.
i will be putting stock reeds with a twist on it after i break it in. i even tried to fit a 48 lectron on it and no go. but i still need to
turn top of shock 180 deg, and see how that will work.

I think the difference between the billet intake and the OE is the carb slides inside the OE where it connects via hose to the end of the billet.Does that not make the carb sit back a tad farther?I can,t remember without looking,just curious and something to think about.
