Anything I should know about this air intake mod?

sufguts · 09-16-2018, 08:42 PM

I know it's definitely not stock, not sure exactly what mod it is but I figure maybe I should know, just in case there's any specific maintenance things or anything? Can anyone identify?

Also the air cleaner on the left side is empty and I found a little nest in it so I'm either going to close off the 2 holes in the back with some thin aluminum or just remove it altogether and replace with something decorative. Wondering what other people have done with this area?

That looks like a teardrop version of the "Halfway to Thunder" air kit.

There are numerous ideas on this site for what others have done with the left side dog bowl. I took mine off along with all the smog stuff and went with a Chucksters K&N air cleaner on the right side. Chuckster is a great place to start, he does nice work...

I've been looking around and I think I might actually relocate my ignition there. I like the look of this Barons relocation kit (which seems to be discontinued everywhere - but I think I can probably just make it from some CNC'd aluminum)

I put that relocation kit on my 01 Nomad when I did my Air cleaner . It was much easier than reaching for the ignition . It was also nice to have the " Choke " just under it which I had to use many times to start my bike on colder days . I'm surprised they discontinued it , not enough sold I guess . Making one shouldn't be that difficult though . I got a lot of compliments on it !!

Good luck !!

That is a "Thunder Mfg." air kit.

I do have the "Halfway to Thunder" on my bike, and on the left side, I have the HD cow bell horn. A few years ago, I put one of those covers over the horn from Kuryakyn.
