So yesterday I'm headed into my gym and see an ultra with some kind of air cleaner that appeared to be like the SE Heavy Breather I run


BUT.....


It was bent up in the air to avoid hitting the uppers

Not pointing straight up mind you, but rather bent upward

It appears to have the mini air filter and chrome pointed and slotted cover but the elbow looked to have it pointed slightly upward at maybe 30 degrees

I hope it's there tomorrow or the next to take a pic and ask if I can get the owner, but thought I would take a shot on the boards


Anyone know what it might be?

 

I know you don't see much of this anymore, but is it possible that it is a one off custom part?

 

Nothing on the rest of the bike looked that way of a one off

In fact the front fairing was done with a deadhead outline, so the owner was clearly a grateful dead fan, but that was all the custom I noticed

 

Almost looks like the spike AC from Demons Cycle, but I just don't know if that one has the flexibility of setting the angle on the AC so it's not just either straight up at 12 o'clock or straight out at 3 o'clock

 

Not the entire bike as a one off custom, just the piece you speak of. Now I would really believe that it is a one off custom when you say there was an image of the "dead" on the fairing. Look at all the old magazines with all the custom pieces on the bikes. Before Dennis Kirk, J&P, S/E either you made it, or it was OEM replacement.
I had to make a plate about a year ago to get a round air cleaner to bolt up to a S/E Keihin carb so I could put a new air filter on it. Was not that hard, just had to use my imagination. Imagination is not an app.

 

Doesn't yaffe make one like that?

that angle seems a bit too high this wasn't anything like that, rather the angle instead of being straight out at 3 o'clock was at 2 o'clock and that was enough to have it clear the lowers

the reason I am asking is because I thought that was a great way to have lowers and still have the heavy breather

I guess I will just have to keep looking.

 

Take pictures of stuff like that so we can get a better idea when posting....you can speculate till the cows come home utherwise. Its anybodys guess?

 

yeah that is why I am hoping its back at the gym today as I didn't have my phone on me and now I will
