This is exotic shit, Le Mans, Indy, etc.

I hope it fits, pretty sure it will; FedEx to deliver Friday.
If it does fit, will put the brakes on the TRE sheet metal.

It does have filters!

WOW, nice find! That will really look bad ass on Berzerker! I like the carbon fiber a lot. Your build keeps getting better and better Ricky. Keep the updates coming ... I'm looking forward to the sheet metal

Well, the Kinsler Cross Ram intake is a no go, Berzerker delivered to TRE to have the custom sheet metal intake built.
The Kinsler is bad-ass, the ultimate intake and would deliver roughly an additional 50hp. The intake fit, but the ram tubes did not and would require cutting shorter and custom air filters built by K&N; I just didn't want nor have time to deal with the additional hassle.
Berzerker should be ready to pick-up sporting a sheet metal intake when I get back from Kaz; then it's custom wiring harness fabrication time, plumbing fuel system, then off to Ron's radiator in Arizona for radiator and dry oil sump tank.

Progress, that's a shame about the Kinsler, but a sheet metal intake is cool also.

Progress is SLOW!!
TRE is taking FOREVER to build my sheetmetal intake but "almost" promised to have it ready next week; Hello, I'm dying overhere! They're good guys, just swamped with work, lots of racing engines to ship; I'm just low on their priority.

I'll post some pics whenever they finish

TRE finally completed my intake manifold, 8000 RPM no problem.
The intake is made to fit, would have a tough time trying to push a cunt hair between frame and intake!
The injectors are positioned underneath and spray directly onto the intake valves; can't get any closer to the sweet spot.

Nice !

I want to hear it!

Sign should really read what SHE said but we do the best we can with what we have ...

Can't WAIT to hear this engine run!!!!

Ricky,
that is intake porn!, It is way to pretty to cover up. You may want to consider finding an alternative location for the gas tank

WOW ... ... SWEET

Man, I gotta get a better job

Forgive my Ignorance ... what is the handle for at the front of the Intake? Is it just a mounting surface?

Ricky, I don't know if I ever met anyone more determined than you. Eventually you will have the fastest Boss Hoss on the planet, there is no doubt in my mind about that.

I asked TRE for a tie-down bar for my Racepak modules, a place to safely secure them; that bar is what they built, not exactly what I envisioned.
I'll likely cut and grind all of those mount tabs and handle off and re-do to better suit my needs.

SQ4MN, haha; you made my morning. To have the fastest BH has always been my intent, just doubtful that Berzerker will be faster than Marv's bitch-n scooter which I rank as the most bad-ass bike on the planet.

Berzerker Update;

Berzerker is now with Saldana http://www.saldanaracingproducts.com to have a custom radiator, oil tank, side panels, and dual air filter duct fabricated; going to be bitch-n!

I mocked-up a rough design in foam for Saldana to go by but they had better ideas / improvements which they'll implement; I can't wait to see the final product.
The radiator and oil tank will be finished in black carbon fiber.

Ricky -

Thanks for posting your update, I really like the idea of CF touches you have planned! Berzerker is going to be one hell of a good looking bike that's not just show ...

Keep the updates and progress pictures coming, I'm not near as patient as you!!!!!

Don

Badass

...

Berzerker is at Saldana Racing located in Indianapolis and getting fitted with a custom radiator that is inclined to have a downward spoiler effect, a dry sump oil tank; early stage progress pics here.
Next will be dual air filter / air duct fabrication to throttle body and radiator / oil tank side panel covers. The side covers will be trick and will have airbrushed a Berzerker standing over a fallen enemy with his boot on the guys throat while running his long-sword through the bastards eye socket; how bout that me blood thirsty Buck-O’s????

You might as well add in a little MEMOREX tape going thru a hidden speaker somewhere of the ENEMY gagging on his blood whenever you first turn on the ignition.

Pretty cool, so dry sump oil?

Man , that front fender looks awful close to radiator but I'm sure you have it all figured out .

In the bottom pic it sure does. In the pic above it though it looks to have a few inches to spare

I'm in Kazakhstan and I hope so too!
Saldana, they're a good lot, surely I will have full travel left and right, up and down.
I'll know soon enough!
