    Good gosh man. Mandrel bends are the most efficient for clean smooth and fast exhaust flow. The bends shown will slow the exhaust, cause turbulence and generally make the exhaust system run worse. Extremely Tight Angles: does not exist here. They are making the system worse for no physical...

    Cool piece or Art. I like it. The front storage is unique to me. If it were my design I would like a better visual connection between the front end and the rear. Another nit is the Mercedes/rolls/jag/everyone but bmw roundel application on the front.

    Anyone install an aftermarket air filter?

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    It’s holding the bike up for the photo. From the first drilled pic to the dyno post, I thought there was enough ‘hot air’ to make it pretty obvious; drilled lower case, no oil cooler required, 85 mph winds, etc etc. But it is the internet… I personally enjoyed the reference to The...

    Yes I drilled the lower case. The problem is the hot engine oil heating the air. Instead of just cooling the air (albeit a great idea) I also cooled the oil. Based on temperature probes, In theory with this set up, if you could go fast enough, you can eliminate the need for an oil cooler. (...
