Saw this at the Triumph Come Home "Rally" in PA this week-end. I like the use of the K&N Pancake style filters and his Idea on covering the resulting space. Wish I had the opportunity to speak with the guy. Forgive my digital photography ignorance. Some great ideas here for you bob-aholics .....

That's one way to lower the front end. Dude's got some interesting ideas. And a few crazy ones.

You could buy those air filters for your car from Pep Boys in the 60's.....

By the end of the Rally the pankcakes went to pods, and then
finally, velocity stacks.

One of those switches was for a vibro-massage on the pillion.
I watched a girl test-ride it.
Judging by her smile and giggles, she approved of the option.

Geoff was talking to the guy, and he seemed misinformed
about jetting(the guy, not Geoff).

TCH was a blast!

That's a great looking bike. Just wondering while looking at the air filter set-up, what happens if water pools up in the pleats of the filter. Will the vacuum of the carbs not pull the water in or will the oil in the filter keep it out?

Just wondering.
