1500L intake

Alright i have another question for you guys. So here's goes I've done a lot of searching and I haven't found out what I was looking so maybe someone can send me a link or maybe have done it and can help. I have the big ears air filters on my bike and I started looking at the "caddman" and thought that'd be awesome different look if possible. So is it possible to get any of the gadgets page intake mods to work. Thanks guys y'all helped a lot last time and was hopping for the same

Huh? Not to sure i understand. I have no idea what a big ears set up is. The Caddman is with the stock backing plates and pretty much the left side is for looks. The right side does all the work.

Side is as seated. This mod means you can go back to stock everything if a law should change to harsher, and you indend to comply.

i run 1/2 a Caddman right side only and am naked on the left. Over the past weekend I hit on a MC yard sale and bought a HD horn cover I MIGHT install. It was 5 bucks, but I like the naked look too.

I know Caddman face to face and slept in his house some 19 nights.

With this mod you will want a Dobeck TFI old style or plug n play, and either a Cobra or V&H Bagger exhaust.

This is the intake system that came stock on mine. At first it was ok now it just seems big and ugly. I'm wantin to get rid of the big oval intakes and hopefully doin one like the caddman but since my intake hardware is a different place since it's a carb bike than I'm hopping someone has done it before to kinda show me how if possible.

Send me a phone number and I'll send a pic that is on my phone of my 95A engine.

It shows how to do an ear shave.

The Ear Shave is what you need to do. Not a hard job just takes a little patience especially removing the big plastic air box out of the frame. once you do that the rest is easy. I bought a kit from Cobra and did one several years ago, but you can buy the carb jets and 2 filters without the kit and it's a lot cheaper. don't use the needles in the kits anyway, use the stock ones.

Alright so I have another question. It might be crazy if so let me know. But it know that some of the classic and nomads have dual carbs. So my questions is would an intake of one of those fit on mine. Mine appear to be a 90 degree offset thanks guys
