Looking good, Bdogg. Did you get a good deal on the thunder kit?

 

I got it from phatperformanceparts for $254 delivered. It was expensive, but I'm very pleased with the look and performance. I also wanted something easy to install (i'm new to this modifying bikes thing)...B.

 

Looks Great BDogg! I had one of those on my XVS1100 and Roadie!

 

That air cleaner looks good. Is it possible to mount the teardrop up and down instead of across?

 

The map you used from Girlzwarrior was it custom made or can it be downloaded from the net. I just got the Barons Bak and will be in need of a map soon I have the corba slipon and currently use the d&d slip-on map. Maybe that map your using will work on my bike also let me know whats up with it.

Hey Bdogg,

Looking Good!!!!!!!!!!!

Girlzwarrior: The kit is predrilled with custom mounting brackets that force you to mount it horizontally. Customizing it to mount vertically is beyond me, but something I'm sure billh1943 could manage.

Hoss: I'm starting with girlzwarrior's custom map and made no changes, so far. The map girlzwarrior posted is a slightly modified 007 map made for the D&D slipon with stock air filters. The only changes were in the full throttle numbers. I suppose due to the increased airflow of the BAK.

Ride hard; ride safe...B.

 

That air filter looks real good Bdogg, nice purchase!

 

That cover does look better than stock. Nice work Bdogg

 

Very Nice Bdogg!!!

 

That looks great! I've got one for my bike but I have not installed it yet, after seeing that I think I better get to it!

 

I would bet the map for either, BAK or Thunders airkit would be the same..
Seeing how they do the same thing... RIGHT ???

I am in the process of ordering the same.. Kit Tear-drop..
But in the smooth finish..

I think any given map is unique to the bike. Even two identical bikes may burn fuel differently but at least it is a start. Personally, I don't venture outside of what PowerCommander offers. Seems impossible to really know if you are doing any good without a dyno.

 

Question about exposed air filters.

Do these air filters that are exposed to the elements present any problems when you get caught in the rain or other elements?

 

The potential to suck in some moisture is there, though I have heard of individuals running them in the rain with no adverse affects. Thunder sells "raincoats" for their kits for $20 extra. I keep one under the seat just in case my poor baby gets caught in a downpour [/emoticons/emotion-6.gif]...B.

 

Bdogg, is there any filters for the throttle bodies, like the BAK, what else comes with the kit, krank vent ???

Kyle

 

The Thunder kits just replace the stock rightside airbox. The undertank airbox is unchanged. A crankvent is not included and I'm not even sure I understand the function of a crankvent. Should I get one?...B.

 

bdogg, see:http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1460&whichpage=2&SearchTerms=krank,vent for Krankvent info.

 

Thanks Sangathor, after reading through that thread I know what it is, but still have no idea if I should get one or not. Lots of controversy on that, I see...B.

 

It´s too bad this doesn´t do away with the stock air box under the tank... It would have been so much better if it was like a ram air type thing, I do like the looks of the thunder kit... anyone know if there is any ram air type thing with a functoinal side scoop sort of a cross between the BAK and the Thunder kit, out there for the warrior at all??

Wishful thinking...

 

Just installed the Thunder Teardrop and removed AIS. Installation was a breeze. I used RTV silicone to seal the snorkel and backplate to the filter. Just figured it was a good idea to make itas air-tight as possible, though it probably did not help at all.

 

Speed,

You might be able to use the Yamaha Speedstar Scoop with no filter to create the ram you want.
