Chronic's '13 Build

[Baileyguns]

All I really want is a splash guard anyway.. Maybe I'll make a new box out of Aluminum :thinker:

 

Just find some old license plates lol

Just find some old license plates lol

 

I was thinking just run 3 layers of tinfoil, but the plate idea is pretty good. One sec I'm going to go to walmart's parking lot and grab a few license plates so I can get to work :gr_jest:

[Baileyguns]

I would layer the tinfoil with some heavy duty paper plates so it keeps it shape.

Anyword on Spark's filter & Ring? A bit cheaper than the Dasa but not a make or break amount. Sparks is $50 and dasa is $90.. I've narrowed it down to these two, or an FCI from an 06 if I can find one for cheap haha :bored:

[chronicsmoke]

Also in the market for a Poly (nothing else) case saver, where would I find one of these?

[Baileyguns]

I've found a few used ones for $25 shipped (just to one off the org a week or 2 ago), new they're $43 on eBay. Just watch out for the cheap poly ones that aren't molded on the backside.

^I paid like $43 on e-bay for a moose one, Upp and Moose are the same

aluminum air box $25 on ebay

[chronicsmoke]

pretty nifty little airbox isn't it? Screw making an aluminum splash guard if I go that route, I'll just cut up one of those boxes lol

 

Thanks alan! Muchos appreciated-os

[Baileyguns]

That looks like its just for the filter and not the box...

[Baileyguns]

What about this? Cheap.

That look's the exact same as the Sparks kit.. What's up with that Ring VS the Dasa Ring? that's really where I'm unsure.. If it's not close to the Dasa I'll just go with a Dasa, but if it is, Hell yes I'll save $55. I'l rather run a foam filter anyway lol.

[Baileyguns]

I don't think there's anything special about about the Dasa ring apposed to the other rings... All the ring really does is go into the tube so you can clamp a bigger filter over the tube instead of putting it into a tube. If you clamped a bigger filter over the tube with out a ring it's not going to clamp correctly because the tube is soft and will crush from the clamp causing the filter to pop off.

 

I could be completely wrong here but unless Dasa has some secret design to the radius on the lip of the ring, they are all just rings that support the filter. The larger filter is what I believe makes the intake better

 

Can someone else comment on this too?

[chronicsmoke]

Yah I'm not too sure either.. Matt just said he'd have to bore the Dasa ring to match the carb

[Baileyguns]

So just fins a cheap FCI off an 06 and be done with it...

$135 shipped... Figure an adapter ring is $50 bucks and the dasa intake is $90 so In reality this is $5 bucks cheaper. You can buy foam replacements for it later..

I saw that one! I've PM'd him and am awaiting a reply. I have a few leads on Rossier exhausts though

[chronicsmoke]

Well I finally decided on the 'Bold New Graphics' as honda would put it..

But the red is all going to be yellow.. I sold my plain Jane Quadtech seat, had it all boxed up to be shipped and my grandpa thought it was garbage and burnt it :scream:

 

I was going to use that money to get a JetTrim seat cover, and still will, it'll just be a mid season addition. I don't have the heart to tell him what he did lol.. He'll feel to bad about it.

 

I ordered a rebuild kit from Fasst this mornign too for the Flexx bars.. Keeping the pink pad though :gr_grin:

[Baileyguns]

Noooo!! That suuuucks dude... Whats with old people and burning trash?? lol..

 

Graphics should look sweet, I like the spastic design kits. What color did you end up choosing for the frame?

[chronicsmoke]

Hahaha I know man! I went to grab it to ship and it wasn't there.. got to looking and asking about it and sure enough.. Luckily tthe guy I bought it from laugjhed it off and I sent him all of his cash back + a few bucks because I felt so bad about it. Took that one on the chin, no homo :gr_judge:

 

Frame is going black, same as last year.. I think white or yellow would have been too much color.. I kind of like the cartoon-y graphics, should lood sweet with the yellow! Might get another set in red and black for the 400ex..

[CJM]

Thats just too funny man. Ive had my parents throw out stuff before and thats why I made sure after it happened a few times that they ask before doing anything if they dont know whose stuff it is.

[bvet4dog]

oh man chronic, that sucks! I'm with baileyguns, idk what it is with old people.... my grandpa likes to burn trash too o.0

[El Mamito USMC]

hey where did u get the graphcis from... i had very good experience with http://www.krazygraphics.com and very good communication ..

[Baileyguns]

Nick... You're from Maine. Every one burns trash in Maine! lol

the ring that Matt is talking about having to bore is the NOSS adapter or whatever they are called to match an FCR to an 04/05 intake. If you go with an 06+ intake setup, then there is no need to bore anything. The dasa rings for both bikes accept the same filters, so that is probably why you are seeing different rings for the 2 different gens. Bailey is exactly right on the rings function as to simply hold the flimsy intake rigid enough to accpet a filter on the outside of it. (if you want to be a real cheapskate, then order a replacement filter from Dasa & cut the ring off the stock cage from an 06+ filter
