If you are so inclined, here's a ready-made piece to swap all your fuel-injected insanity over to a simple carburetor.

Do they also sell a kit to put the muffler under the tail, the gas in a gas tank and to put the forks right side up?

Wow. That's a real high-flow piece. I'm sure the guys that are worried about the last little bit of power, driveability, and reliability will be lining up to buy that.

I love how it has floating flanges to accommodate cylinder expansion, and how it's so much more than just a couple of pieces of bathroom grabrail stainless tack-welded together.

I mean, wow. It's a good thing they came up with that, since you can't rotate the XB intake 90 degrees, and install it as a side draft on your chopper.

And the price! What a bargain.

Step right up! Hurry hurry hurry! just because they made it means that YOU, yes you sir! In the black hat you NEED to buy this item right now!

I want to replace that damned, newfangled electronic ignition with some reliable POINTS that I can fix by the side of the road!!

Also, how about putting an innertube in that tire? Just ain't right that there ain't no innertube holding in the air on them tires.

Serious question, How can a S&S G carb run horizontal from its normal position?

Won't you need a down draft carb for such apps?

LOL, man, you guys are serious hardasses!

It may not work for XB's engines still in an XB chassis, I dunno. Just ran across it and thought I'd post.

It's a side draft mount for tha choppa crew.

Evidently they're not big on bolting a throttle body up sideways.
