Aluminum Velocity Stack with K&N Filter Feeler

[Tyler Oxton]

just to check but no heat shield right? where would we find that?

 

[J_Undisputed]

Special O.P.S has one.
Or you could probably cut your own out of a welding blanket and use high temp Exhaust wrap paint, then use high temp silicone to fuse the fiberglass threads together at the ends...(I did one for under my seat) or if you have sewing skills, you could probably sandwich the fiberglass between Two pieces of an ironing board (reflective side out) cover and sew the edges (double stitch it). Just a thought.

No heat barrier is included. There are a couple options, however.

1. Do not remove your lower airbox.

2. Build a heat barrier as suggested by J_Undisputed.

3. Buy one from Crazy Skull.

4. Build a heat barrier using aluminized fiberglass (or some similar material) similar to the Crazy Skull design.

Someone with sewing skills could probably pick up a bulk roll and sell barriers to match this intake kit at a considerable profit.

 

[theoctopus]

Okay, I may be able to build heat barriers, but in order to justify that I would need to have at least 5 people committed to a full package, and prepaid in full.

It may be easier for people to develop their own heat barriers.

 

[jakestolar]

Another dumb question. Would a tune be needed?

 

[theoctopus]

If you are running an exhaust in combo with this intake kit, a tune would be in your bike's best interest. I can work out a bundle package if that's something you're interested in.

 

[jakestolar]

Bundle package?

 

[theoctopus]

A tuning + intake/filter package. You'd save money on both items.

 

[jakestolar]

VIA Online, I Assume?

 

[anrkizm95]

the throttle body is only going to flow the cfm that it was designed to.

 

[theoctopus]

Yes, via online.

You are correct anrkizm. The FAST intake, however, has been shown to boost horsepower and torque values, so clearly the stock rubber boot doesn't max out the throttle body's volumetric flow rate.

In reality, this modification should be considered like an advanced open air box kit. Most Buell riders already open up their intake. This just takes it one step further.

 

[Bossanova]

F it. I'm in. With or without the blanket.

 

[Nuage420b]

i'm about to spend 170 on a chain drive kit, and going on vacation. but as soon as vacay is done (mid july) i'll prepay for one. not sure how quick you are trying to make this order.

 

[theoctopus]

Okay, we have 4 committed individuals. If you all can prepay, I can start pursuing producing the kit. That should work out to $180 per person. I have to double check on total product cost with the newest iteration of the design before I can confirm this price.

People who have confirmed interest:

1. xtremelow
2. Miami
3. dwrecked
4. Bossanova

Nuage420b: I can't promise I'll continue to make these in mid-July. If you'd like to put a non-refundable deposit of $100 down, with $100 due when you're ready, I can make one and hold it for you.

At this point I will not be including heat barriers. I am looking into producing them, but they will need to be purchased separately. It will likely be a month or two after the intake kits come in that I can start producing the barriers.

 

[xtremelow]

It will likely be a month or two after the intake kits come in that I can start producing the barriers.

Hmmm, other than through Keppi who else even has the FAST Barrier?

 

[theoctopus]

Nobody. But I'm working on figuring that out.

 

[Miami78]

The one from special ops wouldn't work?

 

[Nuage420b]

I can work with that. [up]

 

[theoctopus]

Oh yeah, Spec OPS would work as well. Totally blanked on that. There are some design improvements I would make, however. I'd still prefer to produce my own.

 

[bajabomber87]

What model filter is that so I can check the dimensions if it will fit under my airbox.....
