Title: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 04/28/12 at 21:30:06 I have a 1996 ls 650 current mods are: Jardine slash cut open muffler, lancer 155 main and 55 pilot, had a k&n filter, NOW I HAVE A HUGE RAM AIR!!! all custom fabricated and clean, flush mount directionals. Lancer is working with me to properly balance this gigantic ram air, which will maximize the engine or at least maxx out the header and exhaust ports. So I will truly get the full potential. Next week I will have all the new stuff:::: VooDoo custom stretched frame, weld in custom gussetts, custom gas tank with removed speedometer welded to hold more gas, voo doo gusset 6" zbars,6" chrome risers, voo doo custom rear axle vertical license plate holder, ford duo lamp tail light, custom bobed and rolled rear fender, custom bobbed front fender, painted in custom merlot with flip flop paint, hand stitched solo seat with spider web, extended forks to accomidate the rake, stretched headlight. Well THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP. I WILL POST PICS TOMORROW AND SHOW ALL THE PROGRESS I HAVE PAID FOR EVERYTHING AND AM EXPECTING ALL OF IT THIS WEEK!!!! |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by Serowbot on 04/28/12 at 22:58:31 Awaiting pics... ...but,...how do you "stretch" a headlight?... (I just can't picture this, without seeing Jimmy Durante')... ...and that just can't be right)... ;D... |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by Smokestack on 04/29/12 at 04:35:11 Sounds killer, man. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Especially the wiring harness, as wiring is fast becoming an area I really need to focus on for my own ride.... |

Post by LANCER on 04/29/12 at 06:34:23 This is Joey's bike with the Ram Air setup http://images1.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B64%3Enu%3D323%3A%3E639%3E697%3EWSNRCG%3D3566673276339nu0mrj http://images1.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B8%3B%3Enu%3D323%3A%3E639%3E697%3EWSNRCG%3D356666%3A7%3B%3A339nu0mrj |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/29/12 at 07:53:00 I dont understand how that rams air. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by Oldfeller on 04/29/12 at 08:43:15 It doesn't. I don't think you'd build up very much + pressure even if it was pointed forward. Just a large air filter set sideways. Good for "lowered air filtration resistance" though which is a step in making more power. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 04/29/12 at 19:37:44 It was called a ram air filter.. i didnt pick the name. anyhow it has massive surface area and a full sized tube going into the carb, so once adjusted properly it will maximize the total potential of the header and exhaust ports. Thus being the most potential out of the engine without boring etc. I already have 155 main jet and 55 pilot. But it isnt enough fuel with that new filter. So Lancer had been helping me alot, seeing as no one has really used a filter that large on a savage, or at least that he or I have seen. I am going up to a 160 or maybe even a 165 main jet. And the exxciting news is I got the tracking numbers and the majority of my parts will be here wednesday!!!!!! WAHOO. Oh and for the goofy question: THE STRETCHED HEADLIGHT IS A CUSTOM LIGHT BY A COMPANY THAT FOCUSES ON SUZUKI S40,S50 AND SOME YAMAHA MODELS, AND THEY MAKE A DEEPER CONE HEADLIGHT THAT GIVES IT THAT POP OUT VINTAGE LOOK. IT USES A HARLEY SEALED BEAM. COMPARED TO THE STOCK SAVAGE HEADLIGHT THE STRETCHED VERSION IS 4" DEEPER WITH MORE OF A POINT IN THE BACK,IT REQUIRES DRILLING ONE NEW HOLE IN THE TRIPLE TREE. I will post up pictures of every single phase... Most important will be the voodoo hardtail stretched raked frame. I am asking Dave from voodoo to make the frame with a few extra degrees of rake and welding in custom spider web gussetts in every possible nook. My seat is a hand stitched red spider web solo seat with a super low profile. I am going for a extremely low, very aggressive, chopper look. I havent decided what I am going to hide my electronics in yet but trust me I am pretty crafty and will find something very funky. Well here goes. Ill post up the follow up pics of the first stuff thursday. I will be doing the 6" risers, gussett z bars, vertical axle mount license bracket, ford duo tail light, bigger jets, custom gas tank with removed speedo and welded smooth for more fule and clean look, and a few other trinkets!! |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by Georgiadigger on 04/29/12 at 20:11:43 Could an air dam be built for the right side of the OEM air box and fairing, to effectfully force air through the stock box with just as good or better results? Not knocking your set-up Joey. It and your bike is sweet. Just trying to understand ram air and trying to figure out what I want to try on my bike soon. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/29/12 at 21:40:56 I was wondering if a half housing could be put on that air filter, to keep air from passing thru front to rear & let the air stack up a bit,. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 04/30/12 at 15:06:10 careful getting as much air as I am now has caused jetting head aches. Id avoid getting more air than I have until I see what jet I end up with and how she runs.. not sure what the out come will be yet... |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 04/30/12 at 19:38:41 Oh and yes that is the exact headlight I was referring to. I love the "stretched" look. I got the little slip in my post office box letting me know that there is some boxes that are oversized!!! yahoo!! that means I got some goodies waiting for me. Ill install what ever is there tomorrow and post pics as soon as she is done. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by 2stroketim on 05/01/12 at 07:32:03 I did the same air filter mod - not too bad, but changed it to a cone and I am awaiting some different jets. More air flow was causing some backfire issues under a loaded decel, and a small release of air after cutting the power, kinda like a little fart from the exhaust. Are you having the same issue? http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa135/timdtheman/savage.jpg Courious to see how this build comes out, as I am debating whether or not to get the new frame from VooDoo... |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/01/12 at 16:26:59 I GOT THE BIKE TO RUN MINT!!!!!!! THANKS LANCER IT WAS THE 160 MAIN JET!!!!! FOR YOU ABOVE IF YOU STILL HAVE THAT SAME FILTER THROW IN A 160 MAIN JET WITH A 55 PILOT AT 3 TURNS ON THE AIR MITURE. mY BIKE IS RUNNING LIKE A RAPED APE!!! I CANT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. IT BOOGIES!!!! TOMORROW ILL HAVE THE MAIN PARTS AND START THE VISUAL CHANGES IM SIKED TO SEE HER MORF INTO THE NEW CREATURE |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/02/12 at 18:32:23 I THINK HE WAS EXCITED & HE WAS YELLING!!!!! Calm down, Hoss,, you'll throw a rod, dude.. We are all happy it runs great,, |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by LANCER on 05/03/12 at 04:14:21 This is such a fun place to play ;D |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by Georgiadigger on 05/03/12 at 05:24:44 All the custom parts he is installing, I would be excited and yelling too. |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/03/12 at 17:44:27 I dont know how to post pics. hoping lancer will post the new z bars up. THey came out really nice. finally can stretch my arms out. I have most of the other parts. but now I have to do all the hard work. time to start bobbing and cutting. This is the neat part because it is like your own vision. I cant wait to start shaping the fenders. ill have to open a photobucket or something and learn how to post pics. I doubt poor lancer wants to post all my stuff lol. Sorry I was a bit excited in that post. The bike is a whole new personality with sound and rpm. I found another 20mph that I never thought the bike could reach. plus as its going at least when I hang out at my local 81 bar I am finally getting fewer snickers... what can I say I like my thumper. and I drive it like its stolen... |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/08/12 at 08:17:04 Well I have the new tank in and all the fenders bobbed. Im sending them in to get custom painted next week. the bike is lowered 3,5" now and looks great. I added the custom spike grips,chrome oil cap, chrome oil reservoir cap, all new chrome pegs, the new bars, I ordered spike shaped mirrors, I sent lancer the photo.Ill keep messing with photobucket. |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/08/12 at 08:22:58 all the fenders bobbed. What? Youve already bobbed all BOTH of them!?!? Photobucket isnt all that hard. I even managed it a couple of times. But, Ive forgotten even how to find the ones I posted. Im not gonna go thru the hassle of learning again,, take the pics, find the cable, open the account, dump the pics in, then link them to the forum,, Nope,, not me, Im done, but , if I wanted to, I could, & I am a total goober about tech stuff,,If Lancer is coming over & helping you, IM sure he can show you the ropes. If youre like me, you should take notes. I wish I had written the steps as I learned them, |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by mayor4u on 05/08/12 at 10:20:27 as blue as that head pipe looks in the first pick, id definetly look into a mainjet or dyno reading to be safe, its never good when piston and cylinder become one [smiley=shocked.gif] |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/10/12 at 18:08:54 That blue was prior to me owning the bike. the previous owner made the blue. I am running a 160 main jet! Im sure that its not my fault, Im running in the top 2% of the largest main jets on the site. I have it set perfect. That pipe is from 1996 and the bike a mild exhaust with no jet alteration for over 15 years! then I got it and did it right. Hell I hit 103mph today! and got there in traffic! So Im running well and open. |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/10/12 at 18:17:10 dont forget lancer has helped me alot with the jetting. I am running one of the largest filters possible on this bike, plus a chrome custom 3.25" intake pipe with no airbox into the carb with a 160 main jet and 55 pilot, then I have a complete hollowed out Jardine slash cut exhaust. I have wicked airflow and maximized exhaust ports and header cpacity. Im looking into a custom header, and soon to be cam and big bore kit. But yes the fenders are bobbed I did them custom myself through one eye in the rain after a twelve pack of beer. The front in immaculate, the rear is a work in progress because I have to custom fit the new spider web hand stitched solo seat and axle mount vertical license plate. |

Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by joeyzaza on 05/12/12 at 17:06:17 Thanks Lancer! the fender came out cool. The rear is pretty nifty too. Ill post up the pics now that I have photobucket. I did the ford duo side mount tail light and cut the snot out of the rear. no back seat. front seat has spider web. We did a bike run today. 200+ bikes with police escort for a fallen hero. it was awesome. I kinda blended in with the hundreds of really well built loud harleys. I did my share of thumpin. I can honestly say I was the lowest bike there.lol I at least had one guy say nice lowrider..lol Why does everyone think these bikes are 500cc's :( I saw alot of supercharged and turbo bikes. holy crap do they lay a burn out.. one guy went for nearly a quarter mile :o |
|
Title: Re: All out custom build starting now!!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/12/12 at 17:12:06 one guy went for nearly a quarter mile. Ill bet the widow would have appreciated a check in the amount of burnt rubber,,Hadda be close to a hunnert bucks.. if not more. |

It's because of the single. A big ol 650cc single isn't the most common of motors. I had a guy at a barber shop last week ask me if it was a 250 or 400. |
