well porting always helps, but the intake dont look half bad IMO.
i wouldn't bother. But if you have allot of extra time and you know what your doing, then go for it i guess.

on the actual manifold there is much to do.
but where it enters the case underneith the reeds you can do some good. actually i did quite a bid under there.

well.
i had a 100% stock bike doing an EASY 35 with no carb tuning, untill the exhaust broke about 3 miles later. from what i hear with a totally stock bike its pretty hard to do 35 like it did.
with a drilled stock jet (not really tuned to any degree. just drilled bigger) and a Phongeer long i was doing 50.
I never had the bike running before i did the port and polish so i cant really give you a before and after ..

35mph is very common on a stock honda elite.
and where are you getting this 50mph ? you do know that 50mph on the speedometer is really when the needle underlines the mph.
50mph is a bold statement for just a pipe and a jet.

Agreed. The only way I could hope to breach 40 with my stock vari/gears is off a cliff. My stock vari just *can't* push the belt higher when I pass 35 (regardless of engine power). I'm not running an SR however...

maybe the bike wasn't as stock as he thought
