Believe me I’m happy to see Marcus and anyone else out there jump into the Indian aftermarket thing. There is nowhere near enuff of it out there. Especially when compared to HD,s aftermarket. It would be great to have more choice without the ridiculous prices of Indian accessories.

I like the concept of the air box instead of an elbow. Looks to be well thought out. I would have to agree that without flow numbers to back it up it's still theory. I wish you had a picture with out the rain guard so I could compare, cause I think the cone filter would look bad ass uncovered. Keep plugging away Marcus.

Is the rain guard removable? If so, what does it look like without it installed? My personal opinion is that the ‘look’ of the intake detracts from the classic styling of the Indian design cues. I prefer style over performance, but I also understand many riders may differ in opinion on that. Kudos for sticking it out there.

How far does the air box portion stick out ( knee room) compared to a stock air box? How hard is it to mod the program to print a "clean looking version" with out the rain guard and mounting ribs? I have road in the rain with a open element air cleaner and am not concerned about it. You could offer two versions. As I look at my bike more than I ride in the rain, I am more interested in flow and looks as opposed to flow and rain.

I might be the only one here that notices vendors hawking their products in the general discussion section when there is a separate vendor section for that very purpose.

Thanks for helping the aftermarket — market!

Too plastic looking for me and I don't like the logo's embossed in the plastic. Good price. Otherwise, nice design.

If we all gave our feed back on our thoughts and why we like or dislike something about a design then thats great as long as we respect the fact that someone is trying to do something too assist all of us to have an option other then over priced Polaris products. By making construction comments, good bad or suggestion on what you think may improve the product or design has to be a big plus for all of us in the end.

WTF did you just say? English man... I'm guessing you are a fan of Star Wars movies.

I Ordered one "Evel Imperical Super Air Ripper today"

LOL, not a Star Wars Fan at all, worked in engineering jobs since 1991 in various forms and that word is quite common terminology.

It is very interesting how much controversy this brings. I care about your opinions of course. But I design stuff that I like and think is good. I have been doing this in different field for about 55 years now. People buy my stuff and like it. So at least some people like it. I don't expect everyone to like it. Today I am going to ride with this new filter on my Springfield. Probably get caught in a short thunder storm. I will post some pictures later today showing the position of the unit. Knee room was a concern while designing this thing. I had to change it several times. I might even make a video showing a garden hose spraying the unit and then how dry it is inside. Just an idea. Yes the rain guard is held on with 4 screws. So I will show it without. Thanks for all the love. And thanks to WhizzbangK.C. for we are now talking civil. I will admit that I am not normal. I started designing stuff at 4 years old. I got some 2x4's from the lumber yard and built a rabbit trap. It worked but the rabbits did not cooperate. It was the beginning. I have designed hundreds of items over the years. I design them to my tastes. Enough people like them to keep my bills paid. Ride safe. My bike has been getting dusty. I am out of here.

Here are some more photos. Some show without the rain guard. I think I will make a version without the guard and sell it cheaper. The other photos show it looking straight down. You can see that it is mostly under the gas tank and it does not impose on knee room. You can touch it with your leg if you press against the tank, otherwise it does not touch you while riding.

Without flow #’s or dyno results it is nothing but yuppie snake oil! Stick with my proven S&S hi flow filter set up. Ugly plastic junk. Go back to the drawing board.

Vendors can and do post their products anywhere in the forum. In the vendor section they are able to moderate the threads (edit and remove others' posts) but some are more interested in the exposure the general forum has and as such are limited in what they can do with posts. Their prerogative for becoming supporting (paying) vendors.

 

[reinie]

Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't trying to make trouble here, just misunderstood.

Meggie, I for one have to say thanks for your support you show this forum along with the help you offer too the members. If it was not for supporting Vendors the forum would not be as good as it is. So thanks from me and I am sure a lot of others here would say the same.

 

[LOOCH]

Were are the moderators if i said half the stuff to another member like you all did id be put in timeout again for another month lol

 

[DMG]

Pay to play just like everywhere

I try and respect everyone ,I don't think anyone really sets out to be dis-respectable but sometimes no thought goes into the comments ,I was alway taught to put your brain into gear beg engaging the gear. I try to do that but have to be the first to admit I am no angle but close enough lol.

 

[rippy]

Thank you for posting more pics and addressing knee room.

This thread delivers!
