got the heat exchangers in place and mounted them with 1 rivet for now. Need to get the yamaha syle "low profile?" rivets. I also added coolant and fired up the sled. No leaks in the exchangers and seems to run great. I also started on my intake filters. There is 3 rubber lines that i need to take care of. The vent from the valve cover, The oil tank vent and the third is the Idle control circuit i think? When its plugged the engine dies so i believe it is the idle control circuit. I was thinking of just tapping the lines into the end of one of the K&N filters so i don't have to run any additional filters. Thoughts on that?

I also started on my gauge relocation. Got the bracket from a hazer.

if i understood you right, I am not sure if that would be a good idea or not taping into one of you K&N's with that idle circiut line if in fact that is what it is. The vacuum casued by the draw of the engine through the air filter may in a sense do the same thing as holding your finger over the end of the hose by pulling air away from that line. I would just get another K&N filter and be on the safe side. K&N flow well but there is not much air volume to pull from inside the filter itself because the majority is moving toward the throttle bodys

I was also kinda thinking this. I have a little k & n i may just put on the end of the hose.

did a bit more on it today, finished up the third k&N pipe for the engine and started working on the seat mount. for now i just cut a bit of the stock seat mount back and it will be good enough for this winter.

I got a little carried away with the plasma cutter.

You are not going to leave the rear bumper like that, are you...?
No additional supports...?
No strengthening plates inside the tunnel extension...?

 

[kennyspec]

not done yet, probably running a 1" wide aluminum flatbar from the rear bumper to the bottom of the extension where the running boards end. Or i will build a different bumper kinda like the phazer style with tubes.

Or you could put on a skinz rear bumper

what did you decide to do with the extension?? I like the looks good and had planned to do something similar.

I just went to the cat dealer and picked up a rear bumper. Will be chopping mine up soon.
