That sounds Great Joe,
I would like to see those other grab rails you found that have a less of a bend to them.
My seals for my VW plenum came in Black, so you can get them in either Black or Orange.

Those seals are for 1 5/8" at the VW plenum and 1 3/8" VW runners. Would they still seal well on a 1 1/4" runner?
The runners are coming at the plenum at different angles; would you just bring them up to the rubber seal and use the flexibility of the seal to take care of different angles? Or are you going to try and bend the runners so they enter the plenum spigots?
If you are not bringing the runners into the spigots then you will have the 1 1/4" where the plenum goes into the spigot then the spigot diameter which is about 1 3/8" x 1" long and then the grab bar runner which would be about 1 1/8". Will this be a problem?

Am I the only one who looks at this picture and thinks you could build an intake manifold like that and hang a motorcycle carb off the end. Maybe even one of the carbs from are OEM rack.

If you use 1.25" schedule 80 aluminum pipe it is 1.25" ID, 1.67" OD. I would suggest machining the .5" or so of the end down to 1.375-1.4" so it will go into the VW spigot. The outside diameter of the spigot is about 1.625" so a rubber coupler with hose clamps would fit nicely if you could find one with a 1 5/8" ID. Or you might be able to solder the tube into the VW manifold. I wonder if there is an epoxy that is fuel proof.
The other end of the tube could be machined to the shape of the OEM carbs where they fit into the rubber coupler. With the grooves etc.
