can you get any more pics of that intake? Pics of the bike too would be nice. Interesting fairing and huge trunk.

Interesting single setup with heat.
Can it be started?
Sure would like to know how well it runs.

Since Dan already mentioned the heat, I'll be the first to ask... what would the pressure gauges on each side be for?

It belongs to a friend of a friends son and he still won't part with it. It is a long ways from me so no more is known. I had all the same questions but no answers. I plan to try and buy it again in the new year. It has been sitting for some time. Seems to be a manufactured manifold but couldn't identify it. Looking at it there appears to be a larger tube outer wrapped around the inner to create the water chamber for heating.
One of the reasons I am going to build my own manifold to start is that I want to get the water chamber closer to the carb itself which is what needs the heat. Heating the bottom of the plenum works due to heat transfer through the plenum material but I want to at least include the front and rear of the plenum in the coolant chamber. I have a greater need for the heat here in the cold Northwest. While I don't ride in the extremes I used to when I was younger (down to 20 below F) ten below is not uncommon. Up to now the Guzzi has worked better in these conditions but if I can solve the potential icing problem the Goldwing can come out and play too. :smilie_happy:
With the alternator mod I can run all the electric heated clothing I want.

Actually I was so intent on examining the carb setup I didn't think to look. :doh:

The gauge on the right side is oil pressure....you can see the adapter on the engine case where the regular pressure sensor would be.
The gauge on the left side appears to be a temp gauge....
Looks like a well-thought out system, as far as the heated intake, and the way it fits to the runners. The heat looks like it circulates coolant around the outside of the runners right as they come out of the intake. :yes:

I was also focused on the heating system that this person included in his manifold. It is the first time I see this kind of manifold that have provision for heating. I thought that the heating system was only necessary for the VW manifold because of its volume.
Interestingly in 2012, Slabghost started a thread bringing info on design and build this manifold but not provided for heating.

Hadn't found that thread yet. Thanks for the lead.
