[chaingunner]

Well I've been a newb for only like 7 months, but feel I know it all now, and I'd like to thank all, here are some changes I made to my skoot.....2 into 1....

K&N air filter, added an inch, with a desperado filter housing.....Also replaced all lines with braided lines...

added a nice insert....

Oil pressure gauge.

And a great product. the infamous Cruise-mate... Works super.

Not pictured is dina beads... also a great improvement, no more wheel weights.
And it wouldn't have happened with out this site. Thanks to all. Nice lift too...

Great looking bike.

 

[Chopper Dave]

scoots looking good Chain!:up:

 

[Chopper Dave]

Chain...you can get a cool spike from Jake to cover up that bare spot behind your coil cover

heres mine...

 

[alhall88]

looks good chain, whats next?

 

[kornfed]

[chaingunner]

looks good chain, whats next?

Well Al, now that you mention it, after we get back from Sturgis, I'd like to do a Karata open primary, some head work, Zero deck, cam, XXX carb..... the list keeps growing.

Thanks guys:flag:

And I really like the Stainless Creations Hellstroms, so we'll see...

 

[Gas Man]

looks good chain, whats next?

Exactly... looks sweet!

Deperato Cover with an insert.... sounds familiar
Autometer oil press gauge... always a great choice.
Seatmaker seat I'm guessing...

How come you didn't run the rear breather to the floor and plug the backing plate? I got one already plugged if you want it...

 

[Staffy]

WOW!!!!Looks GREAT!!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Looks like you have enough oil to power a nation -

Like Dave's idea - get a spike to cover the coil cover. Just curious is this an '06 or '07 chassis. Reason I'm asking I wanted to get the magnetic spike to cover the coil mount of my '07 K9. But is quite different, in that my K9 has a "NUT" in place of the flat surface in your picture...makes me wonder what happened here? Ended up getting a SPIKE NUT which I must say is "way cool" - but either way get a spike.

AGAIN _ LOOKING GREAT _ CONGRATULATIONS

Yeah, I borrowed A LOT of your ideas, and others for that matter. I guess I never thought of doing the plug and running it to the floor....
Yes, seatmaker seat! That is a great addition! What do you have that is plugged?

:lol: :lol: Yeah, I have a small fleet I service. :roll: So when I get it I get it so I don't have to go back for a while.:up:

That is an 07 chassis, I will order that spike from Jake the next time I order from him. That is a good idea! (Thanks Dave!:up: ) Didn't never notice that!:loony:

Simply run that line from the rear breather to the floor. Keep the chk vlv orientation proper...
Then plug the hole in the back of the backing plate with a simple allen plug. I could send ya my old spare if you wanted...

Chaingunner, I am running the same High Flow kit from S&S with the Desperado cover. I looked on K&N's wbsite and asked several parts guys in my area about a K&N filter for it. They all told me that K&N doesn't make one. It should be the same as the regular one for S&S carbs just an inch taller. From your pics it looks like you found it. DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THE PART # FOR IT.

Made my own standoffs and bought the KN filter E3210 (5 7/8 OD, 4 1/2 ID) then went with the KN KNEE3340 which is 6 1/4 OD, 5 1/4 ID. Uncle owns the local parts store so he just measured the stock OD and ID and went with what was close. I am happy with it, except now I will have to do some jet work, it runs lean now. And I can tell the change :2thumbs:

 

[onaprwl]

Chaingunner, You replaced all the lines with braided lines, Where did you get them from? I am looking for the ones like you have on the lines you show at the top between the heads behind the carb.

I also added a inline gas filter (pingel from JP cycle) http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/technical/111-good-fuel-filter.html you can see in the back between the jugs, same as gasman's, and chopperdave's.

The guy I got them from combined shipping and it was real cheap!
hope this helps!
