XB with VRod Throttle Body and Injectors...

[Stevenc150]

Wow, way to take the bull by the horns Point Doc. Making a unique bike even more unique. I anxiously await the dyno results along with everyone else.

That's so awesome. I will definitely be keeping a close eye on this one since I have both an XB and a Vrod

man what a cool steam-punky looking mod this is, not to mention potential power/torque gains. Can you point us to a build thread if you've got one on another forum? Or a photo album?

Unless Jeremy says otherwise, which I've never seen him do, I don't see anything wrong with it. Sharing good knowledge, no matter what the source, especially when it's helping others out is what it's about in my book.

so is there a xb12 throttle body and injectors forsale?
Wonders if there would be an improvment on a xb9?
and yes very cool[up]

Hey RT,

I don't have one, but there is a few guys on the link that is posted for the other Buell site with owners putting on the 12 TB on the 9 and getting 5 horse increase!!

One guy posted up the dyno sheet with the 5 horse increase.

I suspect that this mod "may" become a standard mod for 9 owners.

I made these Vortex Nipples and secured them to the inside of the air cleaner.

 

[TechMagic]

when you say you made the vortex nipples, what exactly was your process? I'm in the middle of making some myself by moulding the original and casting copies.

 

[Point_Doc]

Installed the coils...

 

[Point_Doc]

I designed/modeled one using a Cad/Cam system and then I generated a tool path and then posted the CNC program for the Lathe.

The material I used is Delrin.

 

[TechMagic]

nice work, I was thinking about going that route too but a silicone mould of the original is working for casting resin ones right now. It would work for casting thermoplastic too if I had a way to heat it up to melting...

 

[Point_Doc]

TechMagic,

What are you up too?

I just received a call from Terry at JT&S Performance and he asked me if I wanted the good news or the good news!

I just smiled and said well, either the later or former one will work for me.

He stated that once the bungs where in and he could get a reading, that the adjustments he made responded typically as a Buell should and that within 15 minutes he was able to get the bike to idle normally.

Terry seems very optimistic that next week I should have a running bike.
