I sent the design to Metfab Engineering in Attleboro Falls, MA (excellent place by the way) and they are being laser cut as I am typing this. Only three are being made right now to do some test fits, but if alls good in the hood we'll get more to make people quality, affordable, and TRUE 19mm ID intakes. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.
In other news, I'm setting up my Minarelli V1 Polini to be a little more...radical haha. I'm going to fit a right-mounted Simonini exhaust, but the flange for that is way kooky since it's designed for some Euro non-variating Peugeot. Solution? Yet another custom flange! This one has a 25mm ID...hopefully she'll scream :)
Sounds good Derek, what kind of angles are you guys thinking for these intakes? Custom, depending on the buyer?
ReplyDeleteThanks dude! Eh, I don't think we are gonna do anything too custom. I think we'll just do two designs and just crank em out.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of having one design be really similar to my cast Polini intake (pretty short, forward facing) and another one to be a little longer and shooting to the left side of the bike.
Oh yeah:

Damn, those things look beefy. This is going to be good.
ReplyDelete1/4" baby! Wayyy less chinsey than the exhaust headers sold. I just need to find some decent piping...but either way I'm pumped!
ReplyDeletenice job D
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick. I found some steel piping...I'm ordering is just a minute!
ReplyDeleteOh and I just want to make this clear:
