Below air inlet scoops, set contains left and right, look&fit great, come in FRP unpainted for 100 USD plus freight. I will start to produce them when I get at least 50 inquiries. From 100 pcs onwards the price will be 75 USD. Plan to start to build them from Jan 2011 onwards

Inquiries via PM pls

Got them already...... Are you a new middle man or will you be making your own, since these are the same scoops offered on Trojan Horse?

 

[BKKBuell]

I got already several questions, how, what and when... The story is simple:
3 years ago I got samples from a friend to dublicate(I didn't had a Buell these days), made him a set with improved angle to increase the air flow. Since I have a XB9 since a year I called the sample back (to 1st mould was gone)... I, or lets say a local company, will make them here in Thailand by handmoulding Gellcote, 3 to 5 layers of Epoxy resin and glasmats, final hardened in an oven for 2 hrs.

Hey extreme how do you like these? I was going to get a rss but I like the look of these just wondering if the cooling is good ? Thanks

 

[Raisingicarus]

I'm interested.

 

[WALLSXB]

I have the same question as dannj--------- is the cooling sufficient or are these for appearance only? I definately like the look.

 

[xtremelow]

I love the scoops, they work great, also look killer.

In no way will they flow as much air as the stockers since they are "low profile" but they still flow great!

hmmmmm

i like

MORE PICS PLEASE

 

[brightbuell]

So why not modify these to work better. if your going to make them, you could add a small ledge/ scoop to scoop more air, that would raise the effectiveness and put them higher on my list of wants. Makem better.

He did mention he did this.

3 years ago I got samples from a friend to duplicate(I didn't had a Buell then), made him a set with improved angle to increase the air flow

Here are a couple more pics for those interested in these.

 

[BKKBuell]

Guys...be a little patient, the samples for the mould are on the way. I will post more pics as soon I did the 1st pcs.

 

[rainman44]

i'd be interested.

 

[brightbuell]

Yea, he said he improved angle to increase the air flow. I said add a ledge/small scoop to scoop more air to make them better yet. I live in the city and if those are not somewhere in between the way they are and a scoop, they will not cool mine enough to make it worth it. I have been looking for a new scoop/venting system, but i cant lose flow. The way they are will be good for hwy. I need something good for city.

 

[BKKBuell]

I have exact the same problem, poor cooling in the city... What I am looking for a a bigger or more effective fan/blower or a blower for the front cylinder triggered by the temp sensor of the back cylinder. For the FRP I just like the look and the costs here for duplicate such stuff are reasonable. I will try as well TankCover, CityFront covers... All plastic stuff... and CRP might be an option as well, we are looking into sourcing the carbon fiber mats, lets see. BTW the local company is doing surf boards, almost 5000 a month, as well camping bus/vehicle conversion kits for EU&US market. Most of the design is from Japan&US as well the marketing&trading. With the low economics they are looking now into new markets&products and this is where I come in, lets see how it works

count me in these are sweet

 

[nativeXb12Rbuell]

i like the look alot of those scoops ,( can you or does someone) make them bigger(not just a small ledge) for catching more air for coooling better, would like to see that.

but i like the look of and cooling of the stockers ..

(dont want to or mean to hijack your thread)
but i would like to see some other scoops like the stock ones that dont look like plastic or carbon fiber, does anyone make the stock style in metal or painted or something else ?

 

[BKKBuell]

The stock scoops can be done in FRP or CRP, Gelcote unpainted... but as I have not the RH scoope I can't make a mould. The 1st who gives me a RH scoop as sample, send it to Thailand, lets say for 2 weeks will get a set RH and LH for 50 USC incl the shipment 4 weeks after... Who comes 1st gets the deal

 

[DIRTY T]

im in for a set

 

[Deon B]

These scoops looks great, where and when can I order and at what cost??

We also have the problem where the bikes run quite hot, but the actual problem is not only the scoop/fan, it is the oil cooler mounted sideways, and well as the oil cooler pipes being channeled between the exhaust and the engine, the oil cannot cool in these circumstances, SOLUTIO||N, change the oil cooler and re-route the pipes

We are looking at a larger oil cooler with nice coloured braided pipes, any other suggestions???

 

[BKKBuell]

I will get the samples from Germany mid of Feb. then it will take appr 3 weeks for the first scoops to be done and to settle the final qty&price
