Eddie, I first started with the three way T cause I was going to do one S40/Savage pod filter on each side. But the way I had it set up it looked funny to me cause the pod filter was so small. So I started looking at doing some other type of double custom air filter mod. After a good bit of searching I realized that either I was going to have to go with two pod filters or pay big time for 2 filters that would actually look good, meaning size, shape, chrome, etc. It started looking like I was gonna have to shell out $80+ for two filters that I only somewhat liked. That's why I went with the 4 way cause it was cheap (for me), allowed me to use my existing pod filter and could have fun making up something for the sides.
Speaking of that, I did good today on my trip to Atlanta. I found some cool future mod stuff. Eddie, I don't mean to threadjack here but I figure these pics and info below might trigger some other ideas for somebody out there.
First off I went by a HD dealership in Oxford where I found these on a 50% off clearance table:
They'll work great for the highway pegs project.
Next- BTW, go to one of those large truck stop stores when you get a chance. You'll find so much stuff you can use for bike mods at a fraction of the cost. This stuff I got at an awesome truck stop store. It wasn't one of those fancy ones but the kind I love. It was one of those almost flea market kind of places where there's literally too much stuff crammed in the store and you can barely move around. Man, you could buy chromed brackets of just about every design and size under $10 for any bike mod project. Then you can pick from a dozen designs of chromed bolt head covers to make it look even better. Tons of LED lights, top quality chromed teardrop headlights... chrome and stainless steel everything. It was truly a modders dream!
I got the stuff below there.
Covers to likely go on my new air filter covers at $4 each. They are about 3"-3.5" across.
Stainless steel 7" headlight visor and a SS piece for some yet thought of speedo housing mod. Both were $4 each.
A chromed piece that looks like it might have the potential, if the bottom is scalloped and some other fine tuning, of becoming some sort or speedo housing as well at $5.
Some chromed brackets with clamp on one end and 90 degree turned bolt slot on the other that I'm sure I'll find some application for them at $6 for a set.
A pair of bright amber chromed half-moon LEDs at $4.50 each.
Lastly, a 2" wide by 24" long stainless steel bar stock in case I need it for something at $8. A bar like that in plain steel at a hardware store would be $10+. The bar is in my trunk right now.
