Bearclaw elimination and showing off the triple filters?

[GPMAZ]

I did the same as Skip. I hesitated for quite awhile, but then after dropping the **** thing on the garage floor and putting a nice scratch in the chrome I figured I had nothing to lose.

The dremel worked just fine. I used masking tape to mark the line I wanted to cut, and then cut it a bit short of the line as Skip said, and then cleaned it up to where I wanted it.

That's what I'm going to try an do once I get brave enough.. lol I hate to mess with it too much right now because it's running great with the drop-in K&N and Jardines.. But the exposed triple filters will sure set it off...

Hell, I did mine with a 4 inch angle grinder and a metal chop disk. The edge is like a razor so if anyone thinks they're gonna get a free set of k&n's it's gonna cost them several stitches and time in the E.R. I just really like the look of L.S.'s. I was gonna go the single k&n route till I pulled the cams etc. to remedy the paint can rattle. The hardest part of the whole job was trying to get all the ****ed ducting and plenums back in place. I knew then that I would eventually replace the crank sprocket, timing chain, chain guides etc. and there's no way I'm dealing with all that plastic again. So the k&n's were ordered and installed within weeks.

Skip, I was not referring to you sidetracking the thread. You were just responding to someone else who did. So far I've only had to deal with two issues and I resolved them myself. If I had the funds I'd buy another in a heartbeat and make a shaft drive chopper out of it. I don't have that much so I built a shaft drive Honda 900 C shaft drive 10 speed bobber. But someday.........someday............!!!!!!!

Manic Mechanic,
How bout postin a pic of your "other ride".
I threatened to do the chopper thing to mine.
See them wrecked ones on ebay and thought "I could use that frame, rake it" yada, yada.
But I hated riding chops, the rock takes 20 acres to turn around anyway,
so I opted for just the rear bobbed fender and sissy bar to give me that sentimental feeling.

They are in my gallery. When I uploaded pics of the bobber the heading was Bi Polar Express but when I processed all the pics at the same time they all listed under The Mistress. I haven't taken the time to delete and reload yet. Going to upload new pics of the Bi Polar Express soon as I've added some interesting side covers since the last shots.

Do you have a PayPal account?

$265 Yes and yes. These carbon parts i make are made using a vacume lay up process that gives an extremely good strength to weight ratio. I also use aerospace quality materials that are second to none. Also make the fork gaurds,full claw, and some other stuff that i will soon post pics of.

Thanks for the response. That's a reasonable price considering what buying and modifying a stock bearclaw would cost. I need to decide whether the effort is worth it considering the marginal increase in response.
