Some or all of these can be used during cold weather riding.
Then removed or adjusted, during warmer weather.
1. VW Plenum, and using coolant to provide heat
2. Heated Air from Radiator to be used as Heated Air Intake.
3. Using SS Grab Bars, or other Metal to metal contact between head and tube runner
4. Using a shroud or panels to enclose the carb and intake plenum on both side of engine to Keep Heat IN, at Plenum, Carb, & engine heat will provide more heated air to warm all carb & plenum parts, behind the panels and for heated air intake.
5. Heater bracket to bottom center of VW Plenum
