Nice,got any more.
I know the first generation S-2 backing plates were fiberglass and did not take too many on/offs to start deteriorating.The replacement was a abs/plastic like the sprocket cover and was not any better.Did you make the aluminum carb spacer/venturi also?

Fella's : let's begin by stating , I'm not comfortable selling or soliciting on this site , not being a sponsor , nor do I wish to be run off from here . Having said that , I have been making stuff like this for years , my XLCR had a hand crafted air cleaner much like what is shown above , that one had a dellorto behind it , so this is nothing new or ground breaking , it's one of the things I make occasionally.

Why am I even responding to this ??

* I like you guys.

* I havn't had a paycheck for a month now.

* ebay , pisses me off !!

* I'm bored and need stuff to do .

Oh , I will need some information ( much like a tailor making a fine suit would need ) , such as , what air filter element will be used 1.5"? , 3" ? , is there a specific angle you would want it to be positioned=( same as frame rail ? ) , plastic venturi=( cheaper $ ) , or aluminum +$.

I'm not aware of a commercially available part , exactly like what is shown above , these are made one by one , by hand , as needed ,on a hobby level , by caring hands , in a grass roots environment

Any further discussion must be carried on offline , sorry but I'd rather not , upset the custodians of this site

>>>it's one of the things I make occasionally.

There ya have it....Section 11.b(a) "...."occasional non-commerical production".

You also get extra credit for not being sneaky and trying to do this on the sly.

If you are uncomfortable with that, and this may not be a bad idea, send one of them to Al at American Sportbike, have him give it a blessing, add his mark-up and let us know how much.

That does TWO big things:

1) Al saying "it's soup" carries great weight with most of us.

2) It gives you a wonderful vehicle to move the things you produce for "occasion non-commercial production".

Just my 0.02.

Hoser; slanted S2 version for 3" KN air filter. I have one of the longer venturis (American Sport Bike version) - would it fit?

Please shoot me a mail with the cost.

I'd like one for my RS since yours won't have the holes drilled for the Sportster breather vents.

Alum. venturi please I'm tired of over-tourqing the plastic ones.

What the............ I need to get some 1/8" 6061 aluminum sheet stock , I'll do that today , the price of metal has gone stupid !! recently. I was at the metal supplier twice last week buying some 1018 , 4140 , 304 SS etc. , pricing of raw materials will impact the net cost of whatever I happen to be making at the time , be it air cleaners , tools or what have you. I will be contacting those who are interested once I have material on hand to make a small batch of parts.

To those who have responded , thank's

Hoser... given that roughly half the people asking for the parts are Custodians, I think you are OK ; )

That being said, starting a relationship with Al sounds like a possible path to accidentally finding yourself un-unemployed ; )

I'd suggest an improvement, if I may: have a flange bent outwards on the top and bottom. running an inch or two, to keep the filter from drooping. Also, though somewhat more time consuming, mine has six stand-offs (three at each end, top, middle, and bottom of the curve) to position the filter.. This one lacks the flange. And the cool aluminum venturi.
For materials, I go to a scrap metal dealer near the airport. $2/pound, whether its bar stock, plate, or pipe.

Jim : thank's . it will need a bit more forward tilt to clear the fuel cell cover when using a 3" element. Some exhaust systems can create clearance issues too , the location of the carb throat hole can be positioned to deal with both of these , when necessary.

Henrik : your venturi will work

Bill : I doub't I would be able to make stuff by hand , one by one , doing it full time , as an alternative to actual 40 hr /week employment. I have been doing this as a supplement to my fulltime paycheck , on a limited , first come , first served basis , as time allows . Right now , I have time to putter around , kinda enjoying it too( except for the lack of $$$). I'm scheduled to return to work in mid January , attending courses will be happening at that time , as with every year when working at a dealership.

Eric : thank's for the suggestion , I'll consider it , complexity adds to the net cost though.

The metal stand-offs look like a good idea for stabilizing the filter. Would the flange be necessary in addition to the stand-offs??

Hoser,
I'm in, too - ping me when you get geared up and let me know particulars/$$.
Standard S2 config, and venturi, as well.
Cool stuff.
