#11147 Brutha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 7 Months ago   There are a lot of different styles of air cleaners out there for V Twin type motorcycles. I know we have a Mikuni 40mm BSR CV carb. I have seen adapters for mounting HD air cleaners to 40mm Klein CV and other adapters for the Harley. The only adapters I have seen for the R* cost in excess of $225. Has anyone adapted an air cleaner for another type of bike to the R*? How To? Parts source? Satisfied with function and appearance?<br><br>Post edited by: Brutha, at: 2006/10/26 10:11   Logged     Freedom is not free.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11231 Brutha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Bump Guess nobody has attempted this.

You might want to ask this over on the RSR site. A lot more people over there.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #11240 RoNNiE (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 7 Months ago   ,,,,,,,,,,and since there are a ton of aircleaner assemblies made RoadStar specific,,,,,, why mickey something,,,,, why not buy what yanno is gonna work........ just my thoughts   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #11241 Brutha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 7 Months ago   There are some air cleaner assemblies that I like that are for Harleys. I like the idea of having something different. Everyone has the Barons or Kuryakyn. Yeah it works but I want something else. I will get one of the adapters if need be. It won't be Mickey Mouse I assure you.

I was looking at it in my garage a little earlier tonight, because I am thinking of trying to adapt a D&amp;M Spike type unit. It clamps to the carb throat and the face (boss) has a CV bolt pattern. Just have to come up with a support for the carb. May be able to use my Baron Velocity stack mount or just come up with a design and have it machined from aluminum.   Logged     http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/jjsnet   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11245 RoNNiE (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 7 Months ago   There is definetly an adapter for the spike air kit,,,,,,,,,,,, I've seen it mounted on several Roadies .....and Brutha was'nt making sport bout the mickey remark ...... it's just I know my Roadie would puke oil all over my ass if I dared puttin a Harley anything on her...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #11768 Brutha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Adapting Air Cleaners to Roadstar 5 Years, 6 Months ago   No offence taken just smart assin' back.

I'm going to run what I got till I get a new exhaust this summer.   Logged     Freedom is not free.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
