[6pack] Cold air intake

[James Henningsen]

Yea - I saw that too and it looked cool on the car.  I have three 3 inch K&N
air filters and just want to get some cold fresh air to them.  I ordered
some ducting and a duct flange from Spruce aircraft and will create a
clamp/bracket that will secure the duct end near the carbs off of the
passenger front stay bar attachment nut.  If this doesn't make sense, it's
because the cold beer has not flowed yet.  I love the look of a low budget
racer! 
Cheers,
Jim Henningsen

If you have triples,  I've seen where someone had take two air cleaners and 
sectioned them so they would fit the triple set-up.
