jsut wondering which stand you have and if that may have been the issue.

I have the 03' stand. I am going to convert soon.

Not doing led's in the pipe. I like the idea of sound sensitive strobe's maybe tho.

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

I did not build this. Just sharing a photo.

Embeded for your comfort

Decided I want to see whats behind me. I bid on a back up camera but no luck. Back up camera probably wouldn't work in the sun any how. Would be cool at night tho.

 

[DustyXB]

Seeing behind you is overrated really...


Hey What's that on the lower left side fairing support?

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

Its an 1/8 in. aluminum L-bracket band-aid. It cracked last year from me sliding into a mailbox. Going to weld it (if I can) then I paint it black. Eventually.

 

[BuellerPilot]

The Firebolt fairing stay is Magnesium, you better know what the hell your doing welding that stuff!

~Mike....

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

Thanks Mike. I did not know that. I will mention that to Scratch (my welder)

What do you guys think of my mocked up oversized breather??? Too much air? idk

I am thinking about chopping the tank down 2 inches. It hold's a quart now. I am just lazy and dont want to empty the resivior everytime I ride. Plus I think it kinda looks cool. Sort of ish.....Differnt thats for sure.

 

[BuellerPilot]

Since your asking, I think it's a HIDEOUS MONSTROSITY!!

But it's your bike *shrug*.

I do however like the Jardine tip, I was going to do the very same thing though using 3" tubing cut almost exactly like yours is cut. Now I get to see it without having to do it!

~Mike....

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

It did turn out pretty big I think I will chop it up and make it half the size. Maybe mount somewere else.

Time for some sawzall action!!!

 

[BuellerPilot]

I think you'll find it's going to be too big no matter how you cut it up. That filter is ridiculously big as well for a simple re-route breather. Your using 1/4" hose, how much air do you think is being drawn through that!?! And even if it held 7 ounces, you wouldn't be emptying it but twice a season max.

~Mike....

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

I am going to build a half shield on on the front of the filter. I paid $80.00 for it. Its going to work somehow. LOL!

Hey Jobe...props to you for doing what you want, and not giving a **** what anyone thinks. Is Jobe your first name? Thats my last name. Spelled the same too

 

[twoguns]

the catch can is a joke.. sorry jobe, but that is a FAIL!

if you are not into remembering to empty then why not run an open line? there are quite a few aussies who do just that.

 

[kyle_dewald]

Jobe, have you done a TPS reset, or have a race map on the bike. I couldn't help but notice the slightly low idle. Although that could be a cause of many other environmental things as well

 

[twoguns]

i used to play with the screw to adjust my idle down slightly...

makes it sound a little lazy, rattly and lumpy... yeah not good for oil pressure, but it was good fun.

My line is open and has never had a catch. Never a problem either, or a drop under the bike. The end of the tube sits against the kick stand bolt providing it with constant lubrication. That kick stand is soo smooth. Not a squeak either.

Smart idea. Very smart [up]

ANybody wanna buy a catch can? lol!

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

Yes. I havn't had a chance to ride it after the t.p.s reset tho. We just had a Ice storm.
