I filtered through the FCR feeds here and didn't really get my questions answered.
1. I know it's an art form to get the air box onto the FCRs... and the posts on that drama have been helpful. But I think I'll be needing to have access to my FCRs on a regular basis as I tune them, so I think I'm going to go to the K&N clamp on filters. I don't want to go through the one hour process of removing and reinstalling the air box every time I want to tweak one little thing. Does anyone happen to know if the 3.5" is the correct one? See attached photo.
2. I've seen the links to the FCR tuning pages that have been posted here... but am shocked by what I see with the FCR synch process. What the absolute fuck? Can't use vacuum sync. Have to mechanically sync? Not even sure if mine are out of sync. I bought them brand new and bolted them on out of the box. If you've seen my ongoing rant, you'll note that they work good... but I know they could be much, much better. They're close enough now that I could live with them... but that's not why we buy old Ducatis. I want to clean this up and get it right. But I need to find out if they're in sync, and if not, sync them. I can't believe that the process has to be as noted here:

Good Lord. I did carb work on my last 900 SS with a Factory Jet kit, and it was a snap. This is a nightmare.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
