Thanks. I used your video to get the measurements and do this on my 83 920. I painted the pipe with black paint and then high temp resistant engine enamel. Im going to try por15 gas tank sealer on the inside to avoid breakdown of the pvc from the fuel over time. If that works for awhile i may do it all again with copper piping. Great video👍

I have adjusted idle mixture and speed and can’t seem to get that burp out of it. It is also hard to start when warm, I have to choke it even after sitting 5 minutes. Thank you.

I like this and made something similar, before I saw this video. I used some masking tape stretched out from my swing arm pivot to my rear axle on the left side of my Ninja 400, marked the mid points of the bolts with sharpie on the bolts and tape. I put that piece of tape on my 5' level and used a carpenters triangle 📐 at one end squared 90° and on the other end I used my angle finder at 90° on the other mark to test the right side length, as the exhaust pipe is very much in the way of using just the tape. Essentially I made an offset to the tape. Like this 👍

@westcornerscustomcycles 2 ай бұрын
I've ridden it a few times the PVC holds up okay the air coming in through the air cleaner through the Venture in the carburetor is moving about 200 miles an hour so that keeps it cool enough to not melt plus I forgot that hot it would melt the rubber boots that the manifold mounts into that are attached to the cylinder so it stays cool enough I just have to get the carburetor adjusted right it's running a little rich

I actually put the exact same tank on my 1100 virago project bike a few months ago after seeing your pvc intake video (works great by the way). Though when I mounted my tank, I cut the bolt mount tab off of my rotten virago tank and welded it on the new Honda tank rather than bending and fighting the new tank. Also on the front tabs I didn’t like the look of how far they stuck out. So I ended up trimming them back and drilling new holes in the shorter tabs to mount them. Which gave me extra room to drill a hole to run the wiring harness through the old airbox for a cleaner look. Great video and awesome to see how someone else did the same thing.
