One of the best uses for the space you gain from pods is cruise control mounting.

Funny thing about the human memory, it tends to remember the happy times easier than the sad times.

Just a couple of examples:
After taking out my lawn, capping off the sprinklers and putting in drought tolerant landscaping, it was a happy day when I put my lawn mower out on the curb with a sign that said "FREE"

It was also a happy day when I gave away my FJ's air box.

If you want to fuss with the perceived loss of low end torque from your FJ running UniPods, fret not, Randy has an answer for you.

It will also be a happy day in my life when I give away those fucking carburetors.

If only...

I am seriously at the point of looking at FJR throttle bodies on ebay. I really don't want to go into those carbs again...

That's what Randy used, FJR throttle bodies with special boot adaptors so they would fit the wider 77-85-77 spacing of the FJ's intake ports.

So,  that is like comparing apples and prunes.

He is talking about late model air boxes that are direct air charged by ducting from the high pressure frontal area of the fairing.

Your air box has no such high pressure and relies solely on the intake suction capability of the engine.

Unfortunately,  cycleword doesn't know anything about the air box on your FJ.

Hi just wanted to ask if the unipods setup has an extra mount for the carbs to support the weight of carbs. Or do the carbs just stay in place from the rubber boots and clamps?

You don't need anything.

The boots hold them fine. We run pods on race cars, all while smashing curbs, getting bumped, wrecking, etc, etc. and have yet to have set of carbs come out of the boots without any support.
