Hey, leave the plumbers out of it!!

He dint say nothin bout Butts!

what do you Rocketeers think about airflow?

I often say when talking about Pipe design, imagine you are on your Bike sitting on top of the piston, the exhaust valve(s) open and ya give it full throttle.
The path is not so bad if you are blasting down the front cylinder's stock header, but not so good down the center or rear header.

Now take that same theory and apply it to this inlet tract.

Forget that top 90° bend (above) that's for looks.
So O.K. we're blasting into the inlet at warp speed, the first two ports are going to miss out, the third easy to get into.

It doesn't quite work like this because the Engine is drawing air not pushing it, but think the theory through, you're sucking real hard on the R/H inlet (above pic) no problem you're getting plenty of flow.
Now suck real hard on the other two, sure you will get flow, but not like what you are getting through the R/H inlet.
The 90° angle bit will assist in that it is place roughly between the first two ports.

Will it work ? yes it will.
Would it be the most efficient inlet, I don't think so.
Does it make any difference on a bike that's got a heap of grunt anyway, probably not.

So it all comes down to style, you either like it, or you don't, . . . . and that's a personal preference.

What I find in the world today is that everyone is trying to be different, no problem there, but what I also find is people are building stuff that is different just for the sake of "being different" sometimes it works, lot's of times it doesn't.

Someone has posted commutated flow dynamics graphics on this site. The size of the ports is soo big that you just one intake would suffice. The second one is just for the Brute factor.

I would not care if it worked or not it looks like #rap.

Don't hold back Sonny, tell us what you really think

 

[IMFASTTOO]

Don't hold back Sonny, tell us what you really think

YEP I AGREE WITH SONNY on this one

 

[EasTexRIII]

YEP I AGREE WITH SONNY on this one

SONNY & ART AGREED ON SOMETHING!!!!!
LOCK THIS FARKIN THREAD NOW!!!!!

Obviously it's a conceptual piece you dipwads - no where near to a finished product.

I haven't seen anything remotely looking like a turd resulting from Mr. Bryant's talented mind or hands

Meds alert!

I think you have grabbed the wrong end of the stick this time. It is NOT Paul's handiwork - He is just commenting on the design as requested. In one of the threads on this same bike he makes it quite clear he is not a fan of this inlet. The photos are from a current Aussie Gumtree listing by the creator/owner of the bike. He says it is the last of 3 made at the time and is for sale for less than US$100.
