#886038 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1717 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I have a modified Nemesis (Alum) 1600 manifold on my 1700 it has a longer plenum and is flanged for the S & S super "G" carb. I made a jig to transfer the 1700 holes into the 1600 manifold. I also used a Vulcan adapter to fit the HSR 42 to the flange. I put a fiber heat insulating flange between the two. I have this setup on now for about 4 years with no problems at all. I had major problems trying to seal the stock rubber manifold. If my mod job didn't work, I would have burnt the bike That's how pissed I was. I would have bought one if it was available then. http://s980.photobucket.com/user/coot53/slideshow/nemesis%20manifold http://s980.photobucket.com/user/coot53/slideshow/roadstar%20HSR%2042%20installation   Logged     [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #886093 Penguin (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3307 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I am interested as well.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #955727 cschmelzer (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Picture's to come in the next week or so,, might want to keep an eye on this   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #955747 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Is LuckyDon's concern about the vibration and float needle valid? Also, do we want an aluminum intake that's shaped like stock, even if a ported stock, rather than more of a curved flowing design, like the Nemesis was?!?!?   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #955763 cschmelzer (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Questcap, who said the manifold.is stock appearance? Guess you will have to see I think this will say it all. Smooth curvature enlarged runners, and no the vibration will be no different then stock. Just look at the nemesis manifold, do people report problems with them? Simple answer is no they dont! i have a nemesis on my 1600 and love it, Stock manifold is all boxy and not a smooth runner=bad otherwise all you guys wouldn't be porting them!   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/03/15 09:12 By cschmelzer.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #955765 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   cschmelzer wrote: Questcap, who said the manifold.is stock appearance?

In the same hand turn if the aluminum manifolds were so great they would still be available to purchase and they are not.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #955775 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Cause its cheaper to use rubber I have never heard anyone say they were unhappy with a nemississ intake.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #955802 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   smokescreens wrote: Cause its cheaper to use rubber I have never heard anyone say they were unhappy with a nemississ intake. I've heard someone say they were unhappy with a Benn Herr. Years ago when they were more popular and still available I remember hearing of vibration issues from a few members.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/03/15 10:49 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #955804 Motorman64 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I would be interested in this as well. The stock intake is not a very good design for flow. I have never seen the inside of a nemesis manifold but if the shape of the outside is an indication of the inside that is a nice design. I am in the process of installing PR Pistons, warrior cams and ported heads and intake. I know PR claims 6-8 hp out of porting the intake but all you can really do is make it bigger and radius the short side turn. If a manifold with a real nice turn and a v shape on the back side that would work a lot better. Do you have a drawing of what yours will look like? Does anyone know anything about the Orient Express performance valve springs.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #955808 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:interest in an aluminum manifold for 1700's 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Markie64 wrote: I would be interested in this as well.

Does anyone know anything about the Orient Express performance valve springs. Yes I know about the springs. After a conversation with Nigil Patrick from PR and the guy at Orient Express. I have been informed from both of them that the Orient Express springs will work with the Patrick Racing High lift cams. They are the springs that were used when Orient Express sold high lift cams for our bikes. I installed them last year along with a Patrick Racing Big Bore kit but with stock cams. I will be installing PR cams tomorrow with the Orient Express springs. I am very confident that they will be fine.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
