The CV carbs and no airboxes or filters are a nightmare, ive had major problems with my fireblade streetfighter on CV carbs with no airbox. Ive ended up modifying a standard airbox and ive managed to get it perfect now but it was a bitch without the airbox.
With a factory pro filter kit the blades have to run 160 mains, with no filters i think you will have to run much bigger.

thanks for the info have gone up to 220 mains , still trying

What were the standard main jet sizes? going to an open filter should only need about a 10-15 increase in jet size.

Std mains on my blade are 120 but with a factory pro kit you need 160mains and without airbox more like 180-200. Are your carbs in the r1 balanced?

When you say can't get it right - where is the issue low, mid or wide open throttle?
