Thunder Tordado Black w/ pics - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Some of you have been looking for pics of the Thunder Tornado intake.

Mavman · 06-19-2007, 09:23 AM

nice.........is that just a stamp on the filter.....or a rain cover for it?

digitalbroccoli · 06-19-2007, 09:25 AM

no sir...I don't like it. It looks very "stuck on at the last minute". Even moreso in the black than in the chrome.

(sorry...just my opinion, which doesn't matter, its your bike)

I am stuck... the tornado intake to me looks mean. like someone just put a blower on their car... But at the same time, i kinda think it looks alittle much.. like it doesnt belong...

Then the hypercharger, i think looks cool, but sometimes i've seen it (especially with the color pieces added) and think it looks flimsy or too futuristic lol.

Then I like the vertical Teardrop A LOT... it looks like it belongs there more then the other two, but does it do as much as the other two?

I do like all three and i'm leaning towards the teardrop (vertical), but if performances wise Im getting a lot more out of one of the others that could definitely be a huge factor

IMO--I don't think any force the air any more than any one of them, and if so......I don't think the M50's gonna use it much different regardless, in the tource/horsepower arena.....at least in a substantial amount, anyway--IMO

It's all about the look ya want as far as I'm concerned.

Didn't ask you to like it.
I just posted it because people were asking for pics.
It's just a project bike.

Thanks, It's actually a "dust" cover. I suppose you could Scotchguard it.
I usually ride the Indian, especially if it's gonna rain.

now that I google.......that seems kinda odd there's no rain cover for it.

I got the round one for mine, been in a few showers/down pours and it worked like a charm.....just recharge-(if needed) and go

Smurf · 06-19-2007, 12:04 PM

I got the High Five and Black Pipes.......

Exact opposite of yours........I think it looks pretty cool too.

At one time I thought about having my Breather Cover painted flat black to match the pipes.................still haven't gotten out of my mind.

I like it and my name's not Mikey.

less is more...DOWN WITH CHROME! I like that look man...

IndianJim · 06-20-2007, 10:15 AM

Thanks.
I took out all 4 plates in each exhaust pipe. (That was fun

) Wide open now. I had the Vance & Hines Cruizers on it. Good note, except they were a little irritating at cruzing speed. Power Comander, lowered 3", and debadged.

Trog2233 · 06-20-2007, 12:34 PM

i like it man...goes well with the bike......nice work

blue reaper · 06-21-2007, 11:15 AM

I have the black Thunder Tornado intake also and like it. I am waiting for my cover for filter to come for 3 months.

Yeah, I waited 2 months for the adapter. Thunder needs to work on their stock.

Sorry to resurrect a very dead thread, but I'm considering the Tornado over the likes of a hypercharger or differently-shaped airbox. It just looks so unique to me; I dig it!

If I did get one, I'm torn between the straight-up black one like Indian has, or getting the chrome with a cover like this.

I think the black looks awesome on this bike because it doesn't have chrome pipes on it. I think it might look pretty damn cool to have the chrome intake sitting right next to the chrome exhaust - both up against the rest of the bike that is black.

Anyone have pics of the chrome Tornado on a black M50? Even better, pics of any of those chrome covers installed?

Thanks!

I like it a bunch, how does your baby perform with that on it? Can you hear it sucking in air like through a straw?
