Skinny Intruder Chop

[GNARAD]

In my last intruder, I hid everything under the tank. It'll all fit, including the igniter and fuel pump, under the tank. The reg/rec needs to be out to keep cool, but you can put that somewhere low and inconspicuous. Dummy oil can can be good, but your pod filter is gonna come real close to it under your seat.

im starting to look for some real estate for electrical aswell I'm worried if I cram to much under the tank I'll starve my pod filter. Any thoughts? Also you mentioned a while back that you were thinking of ditching the fuel pump and going gravity feed with the stretch in the front. Did you give her a go? Did it work?

On this one, because of the frisco mounted tank, all of the electrics are below the rear carb pod filter. Just above the battery box on the lower frame rails. And yes, the gravity fed works great! I split the fuel line right from the petcock and ran two fuel lines, one to each carb. The return fuel line from the rear carb I just capped off.

It's a car tire. A Vredestein Sprint Classic 165HR15. I sealed my rim to run it tubeless. If you do run a tube, make sure you get a car tube and not a motorcycle tube. Also, no shops will install it for you, you gotta do it yourself. But I've set 6 car tires on motorcycle rims now only using spoons and a tie down, just takes some time.

Thank you very much!

Would you happen to know the measurement from the rim edge to top of the sidewall? If not, no prob...want to see if it would fit my bike as or if I would need to make changes ......

I had to lace a rim off a vs1400 to my vs800 to get an extra inch of width in order to get mine to seat it really is a bitch to get these car tires to seat especially with a tube

To the top of the sidewall, or the flat part of the tread? From edge of rim, to the tread(flat area) is 4 1/4"

Perfect..... thank you

I got a car tire to seat on 3 VS800 rims. One with a tube, 2 without. Lots of dish soap on the rim, sometimes a heat gun on the tire, a tie down around the tread, and 100-125psi and it'll go.

Hey man up fully your still checking this forum I need some info on your carb set up. You mentioned you ditched the pump. Did you just run two separate fuel lines ? Some pics would be really appreciated I've hit a wall

I split the fuel line coming off the tank, and capped the return line from the rear carb. Had a buddy fly in and tank it down to #EDR last month and had no problem at all.

Here's a shot of the split. I kicked my front carb at a 45° because it hit the single backbone. https://imgur.com/a/8CWbM

I suggest you familiarise yourself with engines in general and after that look at and study wiring diagrams of motorcycles.
An air filter prevents dirt from going straight into your engine. Need one? You do the math.
As for wires.. You can't just rip shit out and expect it to work if you have 0 idea how a motorcycle is wired.
Don't be stupid, do your homework.
