[2-Skinny]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.  We are excited to get these out to you guys and installed on our end.  Stay tuned people looking for more- if we get enough interest we may do another order soon and we're looking into possibly doing some new projects...though this one about killed us. 

Enjoy the "Proof of Life" pics...

Awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on this. Thank you guys for the hard work. It is very much appreciated.

Very VERY nice.  With all the new monster mod projects... us vintage guys are gonna get left behind!

They turned out great!  Thank you for all of your hard work.  Sending paypal this evening, cant wait.

They look great.   Throwing a little something towards running this place would be a great gesture.

Looks really good!  Don't know how I missed this entire thread until this morning, but I read all 14 pages and totally want one.    

If another order is an option, absolutely count me in!


For those who've done it; I'm very curious to know what the gains actually are with pods, PCV and open Termis.

Stay tuned, we are looking into another production run possibilities... this time will be a little less "amateur"...

So I started to install bracket today...







Crankcase and PCV filter attached



Attached to Left side of frame.... NOTE: The bolt is loosely sitting in there, I need to get a nut and washer to tighten down. I used a small spacer that came off airbox to fill the gap. When tightened down it will be straight and not at an angle.



Underneath the battery tray there is a small gap due to the frame shape and other mounting points being  at different heights... Grinded down a metal spacer(hence the grind marks on it) and placed that in gap.





So, everything works and is nice and snug. I need to get a few nuts to mount ECU and for the right side mounting point... But, it works!

They're headed out tomorrow... late night packing 

[Veloce-Fino]

I got the tracking number at 5am. Proceeded to throw phone into wall for waking me up.

Thanks guys!

I installed the bracket today and finished up the bike with my newly ceramic coated exhaust, and am in the process of painting the brake calipers(one side done).... The bike fired up and ran very nicely.... I was expecting some issues with the filters, however, I believe that the PC5 with the map helped a bit. The bike had NO surging, and the RPM's stayed nice and level and it sounded great.

Its pretty nice to hear intake going and you can hear each filter sucking in air. Also, there is a TON of room up under the fuel tank... This allowed me to clean up some wiring, re route some things and secure a lot of little components that were so secure before.

The only snag I ran into was that because the battery now sat on top of the bracket, the negative battery cable did not reach. It was about 1/2" too short... So, I had to make a little "L" shaped bracket to fill in the gap and then wrapped in shrink tube and electrical tape to protect it.

Overall shot




For our loyal and (very) patient followers who put their money into making the project a reality, the brackets are on their way. Because people were willing to put in their hard earned money(to lower the cost of manufacturing) and thus, save everyone who wanted pod filters a ton of money, the time has finally come..

It's been a tough project for us. A lot of time/money invested through design, testing, waiting and waiting on shop, driving, packaging, shipping, and installing... I can definitely see why parts cost so damn much, it aint easy. Luckily, it worked out.... And we got a quality product for all those loyal and patient people...

It was definitely fun... however, we are on the fence about doing it again. Like I originally said, we weren't doing this for money, and we definitely did not make a profit. All in all myself and Ryan definitely came out in the negative dollar amount to do this... But it was fun, and a great way to give back to the community.

If we were to do it again, the price would be more per bracket, because, after all the headache and time spent, well, I want some money for beer.

Took the air box out last night. Went to the hardware store to and the two main sizes of nuts I picked up were M5x.5 for the bottom coil and battery tray, also M6x1.00 for the ECU. Hope this helps someone.

[DoWorkSon]

A lot of the hardware from the airbox can move right over to be used on bracket. This being the bolts and there are some metal spacers, which I used on the left side frame mount point. All you need are some nuts for the bolts to tighten everything down and your golden...

Oh, and I would find a rubber or metal(rubber would probably be better for vibration) spacer to go under the battery tray mout point. It's about 1/4" thick and will raise the bracket so it is perfectly flush with the right/left side mount point.

I got my bracket today! It looks like a nice piece, guys. Thank you for all your hard work and good communication through the project.
