There's at least ONE entire thread about it, The Tail of the Dragon....sorry, I'm too lazy to post a link. It's Sept 26-27.

If you want to know what you're getting into, DON'T ASK JETFUEL! You have to start out slow and after you're an experienced smart owner, THEN you can communicate with 'jet'.

Until then, all I can say is that 'you've been warned'!!!

jetfuel,

Didn't know you could read

...since the big talk around here is the installation of a rubber hose to the intake I decided to give it a shot but did not liked the 2 bends of the after market products...
..and since the shortest distance between two curves is a straight line I made one up with a little modification of the air box and some cheap @$$ re-enforced hose..
...will it improve air intake?...we'll see...

jetfuel...just modding..

Hose looks good Jet. You never answered what the switches were for and I forgot to ask when I saw you. Soooo, foglights, left & right reading light.......what is the fourth switch for?

OK, I give up: what kind of "mod" did you do to the airbox lid? If my eyes serve me, you did a slice and dice and glue?

jetfuel · 10-04-2009, 04:54 PM

...hey you...the left and right are obvious...reading lamps...yes chief...I can read...
...the center is the off when the doors are open and you don't want people to see what you're up to, but still allows you to select left or right reading light...
..the one up front is the g-opener...

jetfuel...I can see clearly now ...

...ding ..ding...ding...
...moved the center outlet to the corner for a short hose installation..

jetfuel...I know about short hoses

Kermit · 10-04-2009, 05:07 PM

I gotta ask...where's the foglight switch? In the stock location? Good job on the egr hose too - that's some nice graft work there.

TMACK · 10-04-2009, 05:09 PM

Well come on, man. Now you post this, one day after I've slapped down my $80+ for the Evilution tube?
Just for my lay (non-ED!) education, how did you do this?
I mean, how did you make this relocation mechanically/structure sound?

And what would you be up to that you don't want seen? smarts are a little small for THAT don't you think?
