53 Ford F100 | Vulcan 1500 Classic

 This what it looks like with the ICS plate removed. The crossover tube is under the throttle body. This tube comes from the air filter on the left side of the motor to supply intake air to the throttle body. This tube will be removed.

 Here I have installed the Thunder Air T-body adapter and the crossover tube has been removed. The kit didn’t come with a gasket to go between the adapter and the T-body so I made one out of thin gasket material just to be safe.

 Here I have installed the filter plate to the adapter.

 Here are a few pictures with the K&N filter and stock cover installed. It only sticks out about an inch farther than stock.

I have moved my ignition switch and high idle control to between the cylinders on the left side of the engine. After installing the Thunder intake it left an empty space where the original air cleaner was. All I did was take a piece of strap steel and a couple of spacers and made a clean looking bracket to bolt on in place of the air cleaner. I then bolted the ignition switch and idle control knob to the new bracket. I think it looks pretty clean and the switch is now much easier to reach.

I don’t have a dyno available near me so I can’t give any horse power specs, but I can tell you the addition of the pipes and intake have turned this bike into a beast. The power has increased so much I can’t believe it. And it still gets 46 mpg on the highway, cool.

Here are some pictures of the radius drag bars, Barons tach and Kuryakyn higway pegs I added recently.
