Blue 50mm and spec'd for the FIII tuning (I use these)

Red 35mm and commonly used - generally with smaller MJ

You also get Black & Green too :smt001

Anyone have a set of blue ones they want to sell? I need a new set of stacks and it would be good to compare the different sizes on the dyno.

Think I have this the right way round.

Shorter = more acceleration
Longer = more top end

If you look at drag bikes they usually run with 15mm or nothing at all on them eeking out every bit of power they can.

They only ones that step out of this equation are trumpets made by Yoshimura which they call dual velocity stacks and these increase power through the whole range.
