2022 V7 LeMans 850i - building it -

When it’s done, it should look something like this... Hopefully with a better fitment around the headlight

I’m amazed you got it on without building a new headlight mount...

Thanks but yours looks a lot more well executed. Mine I made do with what I had and well it looked a little janky. I'm surprised it was sturdy and gave me a good amount of wind protection around the chest area

It’s getting there...
Still a good amount of work left..
Seat, exhaust, instruments, steering dampener, upgrade front fork internals ... and the usual little stuff

That's true. He also mentioned you wanted a metal intake runners which is crazy because i've been wanting to do the same.
Lucky you, you got the time and money to do so. Right now I can do one thing at a time.

I mean ive carried the oem intake runners and although they're not heavy per se, they do have some heft to them that can certainly be trimmed down with a set of metal runners. hell im surprised you havent tried to make some out of CF

Now that'd be cool, forged carbon fiber Y intake! Thanks man, I'll add that to my to-do list;)
Personally that rubber Y doesn't bug me, it can stay there as far as I can see. It's them aluminum intake parts at the heads that's triggering me due to injectors coming out at the top. Fuel hose and wire with big connector are sticking out like a sore thumb out of it...
 
The intake Y it’s quite a complex creature…
What I came up with is that it has to be three parts because I wouldn’t have the flexibility of the rubber to get it in and out!
Left side: intake manifold, straight
Right side: intake manifold, slight turn then straight
Aluminum tubing welded to the intake manifolds
The Y :
Left side: short straight then turn
Right side: straight
Merge both into one..
there will be two rubber couplings connecting the intake tubes to the Y... and one coupling connecting the Y to the Throttlebody.

This way you can slide a rubber coupling left or right forward and take one intake manifold off independent from everything else!

The way it is right now makes it a cluster F#&$ To get this thing out!

That’s the way I want to approach it!
