Thats an interesting snorkel, well not like the ones i have seen in other words. If you were trying to show off the hitch the picture doesnt show it for me, or others?

Not trying to highjack..but will anyway..if that is a left hand drive Cruiser does not the snorkel create a pretty big blind spot? Can see why it would be less trouble to have it on the left side in that the stock air breather is pointing that way...

Yes...I'll definately send out pics of the rig and of the snorkle set up under and overthe hood..just as soon as I learn my way around this site a little better....and no blind spot...it's lined up perficly with the windshield stile-and I had to crop the photo (there's no hitch yet to show off anyway) du to the fact the I'm in the picture in a speed suit with my skates over my shoulder (just did'nt fit right). The image.. not the suit!

I ordered one from Man-a-fre a few years back, it was on thier clearance section. I ended up gettting rid of it b/f I installed it b/c I plan on going with a custom rear bumper with one integrated instead.

Looks like a nice cruiser. You can post up pics through photobucket.com too, just link them over. I find it easier and you dont have to worry about croping the pictures.

Daaaam....thanks For link Dave-I like the idea of fabing my own bumper and after reading that I think it's the way to go...It needs to hold a full size KTM 125 on a Jo Hauler (side ways dirt bike mount) and the weight to leverage to rust ratio could be a.......Will be.. an issue with the off the shelf version.

Just so I'm not completely hijacking this thread with snorkel questions. Here are some picks of my set up I pull s 22ft airstream around with it.

I think I might have an extra in my garage that will fit. I'll measure it up tonight. PM me if you're interested. However, shipping might kill any deal we can work out. (heavy buggers)

My HJ60 has a Draw Tite. It works fine. All I need is a turbo.
