ShowyoMoto - XB 12 RAM AIR TANK COVER

[tasha1329]

I will take a pic of the windscreen tonight and post it. I haven't cleared it yet so the color isn't as deep as glossy as it will be but, will give you an idea

BTW Oli said they help with airflow to the cyl and add ram air for the filter. also they are fiberglass with a gel coat and come primered.

I don't understand the airflow to the rear cylinder. what part am I missing here? It looks like it is a ram air to the airbox but I don't see anything indicating that it will also route air under the seat or in any manner to the exterior of the engine. does anybody have a picture that may illustrate this better?

and I was hoping that it came as pictured. another $120 on top of the part price for black paint and a polished clear coat put that piece into the "too rich for my blood" category. (or maybe it's the "my girl will kill me" factor)

just buy it, its always better to ask for forgiveness than permission right? Just like when a brand new hero blue wheel got delivered to my door haha. or you could just get it painted later

That looks dope!!! I've been looking for an airbox cover like this and it's the same color and type of bike I have too. I think I will be the guinea pig and take the plunge on this one. Thanks badidea for the post.

Sorry for the delay but, here is the pic of my windscreen painted with the Chrysler Blue PB5. Its unfinished so I soaked it with water to mimic the clear coat.

The rear cyl is exposed under the air box cover. Right where the seat and air box would meet.

cutty,
let us know if you get a reduction in heat on that rear cylinder. this mod is still up in the air for me. i look forward to your review. it's gonna look pimp.

Thanks for the pic Evil I couldn't see that with my black cover and I guess I forgot what it looked like under my heat sheilds. I also look foreward to your review.

Dont know if anyone was interested in getting this box any time soon. I know I was, but I called inquiring about today because it wasnt showing up on there web site. I guess they no longer have it. From what i understand(somebody had to translate) He has to make another mold for it, they didnt give me any time frame or anything. Figured I would let everyone know. So maybe if a bunch of us start calling they will speed it up..haha.

LOL -I usually practice the ask for forgiveness option when buying more goodies for my addiction/bike!
That is one sweet airbox-them dudes need to be putting out more product for sale!

 

[IYAOYAS]

I wonder could they do it in cherry bomb translucent. That thing is the beees kneesss

 

[Evil Mechanic]

They can only do it in CF and FG. I'll call Oli tomorrow and see why they scrapped the old mold, and how long till they make a new one. They're pretty damn busy usually so it could be a while unless there are a few people seriously interested. Not just kickin tires if ya know what I mean.

 

[buellman09]

Yeah, I was actually going to order it last night. Then when i checked there page it wasnt listed. So Im game for whenever they could get one done. Maybe even a different tail section that didnt cost as much as trojan horses.

 

[IYAOYAS]

Are these guys in Canada?

 

[ArmyMP09]

That looks awsome!

 

[Evil Mechanic]

Are these guys in Canada?

Yeah theyre in canada now, but from europe.

Evil - if you wouldn't mind, when you talk to him can you ask him if he can do a flyscreen in fiberglass like the ilmberger extended flyscreen? I'm interested in the airbox as well.

 

[RedWhiteandBuell]

Well, that is my new air box cover! DO WANT!! I would definitely be in the market for this as well! They need to make this again!

And someone needs to make the F.A.S.T. intake again too! I want that to be sitting under this air box cover!! [mad] Why did these companies stop making these items...It seems like everyone wants this stuff!? [confused]

 

[lexhere27]

I'm interested in both along with the cowl for the rear part of the seat, wondering if and when they are going to start building these parts again. Thanks for the info
