Bespoke ITG Air Filter

[cardinal93]

I know the original thought was to use original pieces, but any way to put a 20 degree forward angle on the flange and make it fit under the claw?? You could go straight on the front (minding the reservoir), a 10 degree angle in the middle, and 20 on the back and it may be enough to stuff it all in uncut? Just a thought.

Can't disagree with riding while you've got the good weather though

Shop days are for heavy storms and lots of snow!

I'm not finished with this yet, just for the time being.

As you say, the aim was to use the original trumpets so that the intake air flow was as close as possible to how Triumph intended, plus make it easy to fit.

Did some quick drawings this morning and I think that the trumpets could be modified to still give reasonable flow, have clearance for the filter media and be easy to fit.

This time I will keep quiet until everything is fully proved - cant take any more embarrassment.

Limey, Welcome to the site.
Should go to the "Introduce yourself" section and say Hi, while you are doing that ask your brake questions there. you will get alot more responses and a BIG welcome too.

There is no embarrassment. You are doing some great work here. Keep it up!

No embarassment at all. It's a hell of a product you're designing there and just take a look at the excitement and number of pre-orders. Just getting to where you're at is impressive

Welcome from Germany (by way of Mississippi)!

Rear pads are a 5 minute job. Pull the two cotter pins, slide the retaining bolt, slide the two pads out and the two new pads in, replace the bolt and pins and your riding!

Although the filter to use under an unmodified bs is still 'work in progress', the first incarnation is ready to go for those that are happy with a cut bs. As I said in the beginning, in general the concept is similar to Duncan, Scott and Wayne Tripp's versions. The benefit is that this is a bolt-on assembly which might help those without the knowledge, skills or machinery of three pioneers.
It uses standard Triumph bell-mouths/clips and IAT grommet. Plus 1 pod filter for the crankcase breather - the hardest part is lengthening the AIT wires.

Might be worth checking with Duncan (albatross on here) with the left knee clearance, wouldn't want people to make a decision without all the pros and cons first.

So, I really need to know if there is firm interest in the cut bc version so that I can talk to ITG about it - I know some have already shown interest. Not talking about commitment yet just at least firm interest.

Guy's - I'm wondering if we could identify the make/model of the plug/socket of the IAT sensor wiring. It would make things more plug'n'play.

I hate modifying OEM wiring. I do occasionally, and have the tools and skills - but generally try to make a new sub-loom. It's going to be an "industry standard" part - just a case of discovering which.

If nobody else has the time I'll take a look, but due to one or two mod's on my bike - lifting the tank means removing a lot of stuff.

I THINK they are called "Junior Timer" plugs. made by AMP and others

Cheaper still in the youkay.
