Gentlemen please listen up,... IF you use the tap up by the thermostat, you will NOT(get an even flow of HEAT) or any heat at all!! Please don't use that set up ( my first attempt to heat but you may use the tap on the back of the cross over main tube only!! And you need to tap for another outlet down by the water pump which WILLgive you much better flow and Heat!!! This way gives enough heat!!! Ask me how I know !!!! Hope I caught this in time!!! :rocks: Bob[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=97392#p97392:1vgjgshj said:westgl » Tue Sep 24, 2013 9:50 am[/url]":1vgjgshj]
I see there is a Vaccum port, that runs from one side of the Plenum to the other side.
That Vacuum port goes across the plenum width centered, that raised section in the plenum floor.
Drill & Tap that Vacuum port hole on each side of the plenum, and there is your Heated Plenum.
Drill & Tap the water line at the Fitting for the water tubes on top of the engine to provide heated water to the plenum.

OK guys
I have been reluctant to bring this one up.
But it should be discussed.
You could use what you already have, instead buy the VW manifold.
Put at least some of the Cod Catcher to use.
Use the OEM GL1100 Plenum only.
The GL1100 plenum, is still fairly small, already has the Runner offset done, just a matter of connecting some straight runners to it.
Some 1/4" alum. plate across the left side cyl. bank covering the runners, holes cut toward the lower part of the runner exit, Any size you want, as long as it is 1-3/8"id. coming out of the plenum, then another plate, mounted to the Right bank, doing the same.
Hole saw to open plenum runners in new plate.
I may build this too, as i could do this fairly quickly, It would be very easy, and straight runners, No bends, could be alum. or steel, alum. can be High Temp silver soldered with a propane torch. easier & cheaper than welding
Alum. plate mounted to the top, w/ bolts (bolt heads chopped off, or all thread, I like grade 8 bolts) threaded into plate carb placement.
