Cool, thanks for the info, what we did was cut a rhin piece of aluminum and drilled holes and place it in the back of the intake tube where it connects to the baracket so we would not worry about anything coming apart and getting sucked into the carbs .Thanks agian, nice bike.
Backyard mech 1, I bought the front headlamp at demons cycle.com . And the front turn signals I bought at Cruiser Customizing dot com. And the rear turn signals I bought at Chaparral. Com. Thanks for the comment.
i used a cobra jet kit,i dont remember what size jets were,i would have to find instructions,but as far as the intake goes its sucking in to much air,i found this out by taking off intake and running bike,it ran great,i put it back on and it bike goes no where on full throttle,take front of intake spike off and cut a piece of cardboard same size as filter with a quarter size hole in middle,less air comming in runs good,sorry for the late response.
I have the same setup as far as the air intake and pipes but I can not get it to run smooth, what size jets did you use and did you modify your intake?
i know this is old but i just picked up a 03 vt750dc. i have the same air cleaner open vance and hines pipes. what did you do for jetting or restrictions on air? also where did you get that headlight at?
+Charles Sullivan I used a cobra jet kit,as for the air cleaner i had to cut a circle size piece of cardboard same size as opening behind air cleaner with a quarter size hole in the middle to restrict air flow like the stock air cleaner or keep adjusting jets ,bike runs good.hope this helps.
Where did you find the headlight and signals? The bike looks awesome. Also thanks for the info in the previous comments about the intake. I've had my spike for a year and never thought of a fix for the air/fuel issue at speeds over 30
+Michael Suhre its been a few years but I found them on a site that's not around anymore, cruisercustoming site has them rear swing arm accent covers.good luck.
In case anyone still has trouble with the cone intake, I had one I put on and it sucks too much air. The OEM box creates a restriction and a suction but the open air cone doesn't so at higher RPM the bike bogs down. I went back to my OEM but I heard the fix is to get an aluminum sheet spacer and drill a hole that matches the size for the OEM intake. In a sense your putting in your own restrictor so you don't get too much air. Anyone correct me if im wrong. I am running stage 3 jets but still couldn't use the cone intake mod so its sits in my garage till I have a confirmed solution. I may toy with it over the winter season though.
chris b I cut a piece of cardboard the size of the air filter with a quarter size hole in the middle, I have stage 3 jets, hard chrome stripper pips, and it runs good more power I can fell the difference, i tried different size holes and the quarter size perfect for the amount of air coming in or it will bog down.
Been a while since i tried anything but i put stage 5 jets and the c9ne filter like this one in the video and it still bogs down. Im going to try finding a piece of sheet metal and cut it round then put a quarter hole in it and see if that works. Anyone else have this problem or know if someone sells a restrictor? I really want this cone to work because i live the style. If i have to make a restrictor then so be it but wanted to see a video or hear more from people who have done it.
did you have to dyno tune after that air intake + exhaust? i got the exhaust done and put in stage 1 jets, put that air intake on then upgraded to stage 3 jets, buuuut it chokes like a bitch, so yeah did you have to dyno tune?
Dude this bike is very impressive....May I ask a couple of questions...Where did you get the license plate holder...where did you get the chrome piece before the rear wheel adjustments... I have an 02 Honda Shadow ACE but seeing this bike gives me lots of ideas... Also where did you get the mirrors.. hope to hear back from you
thanks for the comment I finished the bike back in 2010 I don't know if these sites are still around I don't remember what parts came from what sites but these sites are where I went to cruisercustoming,bigbike parts,meancycle and dollarrider. hope this helps,goodluck.

I just got that intake and it dose the bog thing i found if you tape it off it helps restrict some air
