aftermarket filters
I've decided to shoehorn my VTR lump into a B12 frame with mods because I like the shape of the petrol tank
Trouble is there isnt enough room for the air box
Dose anyone know of an after market "K'n'N" type filter conversion that might work
I thougnt if it was on flexable hose mounts I could locate them in the frame each side oftbe front cylinder.

Nope
That's a lot of work for a different shape tank lol
You could always make a new air box with the same volume as standard

Re: aftermarket filters
could you get away with using the bottom half of the airbox and maybe one of those mwr filters that will be on sale soon, you wiil only be saving a couple of inches in height tho.

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: aftermarket filters
Or fit a couple of KN cone-type filters onto some old inlet stubs, then you won't need an airbox at all.
The stacks mount directly on the airbox plate, and can be shaped to accept the K+N's.
It will definitely need setting up on a dyno, and it's not easy to get right, apparently.
But when was that ever a reason not to do something?
I happen to have a spare pair of new 48-52mm K+N filters for that exact purpose.
Worth a bit of a play, I thought, but haven't had time or dyno setup money yet.
Might sell the K+N's, though, if you want to have a go?

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Also made a belly pan from the bit I chopped off the R1 seat unit.
Re: aftermarket filters
Wow, you got some innovative ideas going on there. Can you flip the visor lid and chuck stuff in there like a top box. Nice big rear wheel you got there. With regards to the airbox have you thought about maybe getting some flat side carbs.
I look forward to seeing how this build progresses. Good work.

Re: aftermarket filters
When its finished the visor will be in the half up position and inside there will be two round tail lights. when I break the person will see two red eyes glaring at them
Didnt know I had a choice of carbs to be honest

Have a look at rob.... chopper street fighter Superhawk VTR of the month. He had a single carb mounted to one side if I remember correctly.

Re: aftermarket filters
Flat sides (FCR) carbs specifically made for the VTR are expensive and hard to come by, but there maybe other options out there. It would make it a lot easier to run without an airbox or attach cone filters straight on.
This may give you some ideas http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 15#p206495

As Lloydie said "quick for a Grandad" Git.
Nice work by the way IED. Never seen the crash helmet light done on the rear of the bike before, looks good.
Really looking forward to watching this one develop.
