82 maxim chopped,lowered and much much more..

Nothing...? Has anybody else gone this route?

From all my reading on here, one of the main issues is the disrupted air entering the carbs. I feel like this airbox mod should work good with the partial airbox and boots lending them selves to forming the air flow pattern.

I'm sure this mod has been done by others. I don't mean to hijack the thread so perhaps anyone with any opinions or experience could pm me, please!!!

 

Good looking Skoot... I love the tank and exhaust!!!

 

If you could put a number on the exhaust what did the materials cost...? that is if you dont mind me asking.

 

Did you manage to fine a set of fork boots to fit?

 

Great job!

 

i love this build! especially the exhaust! just nice and clean!!

 

Did you have to do any jetting to the carbs with the straight pipes and air box mod? I'm looking to change out my exhaust but don't want to rejet.

 

Most of the time (not always), changing either or both involves rejetting...

btw not much help huh?

 

Hey whats goin on everyone, im bringing this thread back from the dead! thanks for somewhat keeping it alive ive been an outcast to this forum for some time now due to other projects. Ive been riding my bike since the last time i posted it still starts everytime and has never failed me rain or shine really cant beat the reliability. Well anyways i built a new set of bars and highway pegs last night for fun, ive also been riding it awhile with the original bars i built flipped upside down for more of a cafe feel. As far as run-ability because i see a couple questions about it.. With the modified airbox i havent been able to see any kind of performance gains or losses from it. My bike does have alot of carb issues which i believe has no relation to the pipes and intake i built, i know two out of the 4 carbs have vacuum leaks at the throttle shaft seals which makes it really temper mental with the choke on but once it warms up and off choke runs good..lean but good

Heres with the bars flipped


And heres how it sits now, handmade z-bars about a 7 inch rise and a quarter inch of pull-back. This is my favorite look/feel so far..


These are rear pegs from a 72 cb350 i made the brackets to hold them, and the pegs even flip up out of the way!

 

Z-bars look NICE!!!

nice job on the highway pegs!!

 

looking good! not my style but you did a good job.

can i ask what rear tire that is and how much was it?

 

Musta missed this thread when it was alive... Killer job man. Love that exhaust.... if you wanna make another one, let me know!

 

that exhaust is sick! Did you make that or pick it up somewhere?

 

What shocks are you using on this !? This is my last step to getting it where I want Nd yours look to help lower it just a tad and look super clean ! Hell of a nice bike !

 

Your baddass with bike builds. I'm sorry, but I'm stealing ur idea for the airbox. I've wanted to put my airbox on, but not willing to take engine out to do it. everything else you do was brilliant as well, but way to much skill for me to steal any of those ideas lol

 

Beautiful build!
