The Right Velocity Stack for your Custom Application
B-Stack is a great velocity stack for a carbureted Harley-Davidson It enhances airflow to the engine, improving both performance and aesthetics. Key characteristics include:
- Optimal Length and Taper: The length and taper is shorter stacks favor high-end power.
- Quality Material: High-quality materials like aluminum or stainless steel provide durability and can withstand high temperatures. The material should also resist vibration and corrosion to ensure longevity.
- Smooth Inner Surface: A smooth interior helps minimize air turbulence, allowing for a more streamlined flow to the carburetor. This smoothness reduces air resistance, which can improve engine performance.
- Mesh or Screen Option: While some riders prefer an open stack for maximum airflow, a mesh or screen can prevent debris from entering the engine without significantly reducing air intake.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Velocity stacks are often chosen not just for performance but for looks. Styles that complement the bike’s aesthetic, like polished finishes or custom engravings, add visual appeal to Harley-Davidsons.
By focusing on these aspects, a velocity stack can provide improved throttle response, a subtle power increase, and a unique custom look that suits a carbureted Harley-Davidson’s classic style.
