I hope you mean the concept and not buying that intake. That's some of the most gawdawful weldin' I ever seen....

Gotta read the ebay ad. Says he sold over 2000

Soon as positive feedback gets below 99% forget them...........Got progressively worse from the last 6 months...........Has to write a book to convice the mugs to buy........Claims 2,000 sales but where is the ebay info to back up some claims

And as JD says that welding is shit and has to have porosity holes that would go right through..........I have done better alloy welding just by fusing with a gas torch,

Long, uneven, tight radius runners are a recipe for grief, as a number of guys have had to find out the hard way. If you want problems with fuel condensing out of the mix at idle and low speed operation, by all means have at it.

My Dad was a pretty good welder. He called that kind of welding "loon shit".

First impression I got looking at the pic was it looked like he welded it with a butter knife...

That's got to be a joke. Look at all the slag inside the runner!

If you're having carb problems, that $200 would be better spent sending them to Rick at Oldskool Carbs.

Not only do the welds look garbage, but they were too lazy to even round the corners on the flanges. I've seen drunk welders at my last job do better welds.

I really do think it's a joke. look at the pic with the carb installed. You would kick the air cleaner off trying to start the bike lol.
