Got a new fiberglass airbox, Harley timing cover, ASV levers, special ops intake heat shield, and I modified the race map. DDM 30 Watts shown here. I'm pretty sure I annoy people with dual headlight on HIDs but I don't care

I'm very pleased

Fiberglass airbox. I dropped in some pieces of gutter screen on the inside to prevent animals from burrowing in there.

Some progress pics below.

I have that same license plate frame, except I'm debating where to mount it. When I did the tail chop I didn't place the blinkers well and it's pretty tight under the seat so I'd have to get longer bolts for underneath. I was thinking of bending some steel in a press and mounting it to the passenger peg mounts since I took them off but then I have to worry about clearance for the swingarm if I decide to wheelie. Might copy your mount, it's nice.

Look closely. I actually just cut the bottom part of the cheese grater off and drilled a few holes into it for my plate mount. The LED Plate mount was mounted on top of the plate mount piece from the original.

I see whatcha did there. The frame around the plate was throwing me off.
That's a nice cheap DIY.
I like seeing stuff like that.

Need some help on my next performance mod. My new corbin gunfighter is being built now.

I do not have any inner airbox mods
Nothing on the engine.

Here are some of my thoughts but not sure what I should do and in what stages. Maybe Cams and custom tune first?

1) Wideband 02 to datalog and custom tune given my setup.
2) Maybe inner airbox mod, have heard mixed, so probably not.
3) CAMS (NHRS perhaps)
4) Iridium plugs?
5) 1050 Kit?
6) 1200 Kit?
7) Repack Jardine - maybe baffle?


Anyone have suggestions?

Digging the air box cover.......where did u score that?

 

[oconnb17]

Got it from some dude either on this site or craigslist from Alabama. No idea brand or anything. I dropped the screens in the ram air outlets but need to come up with a solution by the gas cap.

 

[wickedchop]

Right on, if ya ever find out who makes it drop me a line. Think I'm gonna grab a cheap used one and glass in some bitchin vents myself.....enjoy her man, looks good

 

[oconnb17]

Cost me only $75... quite the steal compared to the $200-$250 carbon fiber ones.

I was thinking of doing some inner airbox modifications to take more advantage of the big front vents... but haven't heard anything great about doing those types of modifications.
