Nice..that thing must fly. I still think this is the best custom mouse trap..

Nice, very tidy.

I'm guessing that "custom" intake probably weighs twice what the original plumbing nightmare did

So does anyone want one? The one off this bike is now going reasonably cheap - US$125 posted.

IT IS ALUMINUM as could be guessed by the look and welds. I think cleaning the welds up with a dremel and polish would help reduce the Frankenstein appearance but what do you Rocketeers think about airflow?
It could work as a ram I suppose with funnel attachments but where and what filter would you need to get a ram effect?

I was just told this is the last one of 3 only made at the time. More build details and pics about the bike here on another custom bike site.

Well Bull, I like the over all style, that's quite cool.
The collector is . . . not pretty, and the use of the stock oval to round transition piece at the head shows just how difficult that part is to duplicate.
I don't see why the rear part of the pipe is a separate piece to the front part, that flange is ugly.
I'm not fussed on the Air intake, but like the bike overall.

I agree Paul and that air intake is not a great design and is not going to give the best HP output.

I'm sorry but after looking at the pics and the close up of the welds just not impressed with the craftsmanship. Not only is it @utt ugly but you can see every stop and start which is potentially a opportunity for a crack to develop. Very #iss poor. Way too much rod and the ripples are not evenly spaced. very rough.

I felt the same Sonny when it was posted in one of about 3 other threads already' but wanted confirmation re utility / design.

UGLY - looks like a plumbers effort for a septic tank airvent.

If anyone wants it is being sold for just under US$100 + postage on Oz Gumtree by the bikes creator along with a zillion Harley and Bonneville/Thruxton bits that must have come off stockers during builds etc.
