Interested in Trackerjack's photo album pic # 19 titled "metcruze ram air" I would like to buy a cover like this. Is it real? Is it available for purchase?
Thanks,
Phatdad

Metcruze makes custom seats...

Metcruze

I know the pipes are a one off effort on their part, were expensive to make, and are not for sale.

I can see what they did with the intake.. the hard part would be the half chrome cover....

You should email them and see if they have plans to make the intake.

It looks like it might be trouble in the rain.....

I have already sent an E-mail to Metcruze.
They don't plan to produce and sell that home made intake system.
I put the pic on my album because I think it's an interesting mod.

:wink:

I possibly shouldn't have emailed those pics around as Gary from Metcruze sent them to me... He didn'y say NOT to share them... Anyway I hope he's not annoyed at all the emails asking about his mods.

He makes most of his mods himself, including also the exhaust and the forward controls on his Rocket. He says he is too busy making seats to go into production with anything else.

I would have eventually bugged him about the pipes anyway. I can't wait until there is more stuff like this available for these bikes.
I was thinking about adding three velocity stacks until I saw his work of art.
I've also thought about running a pipe up through the front of the seat and having a ram-air type scoop on top of the tank.

Hey Phatdad... Have a look at Dr Rockets pics as well then. There are some good ideas starting to float about!

SteveRed,

You posted a while back that you ordered two seats: a Metcruze and a Corbin solo. I'm torn between the two, myself. Which did you keep and do you have pix? Thanks.
