DIY Cycle Parts' Custom Virago graced the NY IMS

The bike, built by Thomas Foulds and his partners at DIY Cycle Parts in Yardley, Pennsylvania, won the K&N Top Performer Award at the New York stop of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show (IMS). K&N is proud to sponsor three classes of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in each city that IMS visits.

K&N: What was the inspiration for the build?

Thomas Foulds: My inspiration for this bike was my own struggles with finding reliable, good quality bikes that the everyday person can afford. When I started building this bike, I set out to build a bike that was practical and enjoyable for the everyday ride, but still retained the look and style for a full custom café racer style bike. It was important that I reach this vision without sacrificing the cost or reliability of the bike.

K&N: What are its coolest features?

Custom paint on the Virago was done by Working Class Choppers, of Trenton, New Jersey

TF: One of the features that I like the most as a builder is the completely hung motor. It has no front or rear frame supports to hold the motor. The motor is used as part of the frame itself. I also really like the wheel and motor plexi inserts that were hand made for the bike, the newly modified frame that allows for the leaf spring seat, and the fully exposed mono shock.

K&N: What is your building background?

TF: There are three people that work in the shop, Steve Campbell, John Creely, and myself. Steve and I have been working together on motorcycles for the past 14 years, originally on small, personal projects, but more recently on entire bikes that we sell. Aside from working on motorcycles, I have also been an aircraft mechanic with the Air Force for the last decade.

Plexiglass accents finish the look of the build

TF: Funny you should ask that. As of right now we are planning an in-house biker build-off that will consist of three bikes, one for each of us. The bikes are all similar in size and style. We’ll use a 1981 CB 1100, 1980 GS 1100, and we’re still looking for a Yamaha or a Kawasaki 1100 to finish off the third. We will all have the same budget and time to finish the bike; the design is all up to us. We hope that each bike will showcase our individual personalities and we will let the public decide who is best.

K&N: Anything else you want to add?

TF: I would like to say that this is a veteran owned and operated business that is committed to building custom bikes and parts that the average working person can afford.

K&N congratulates Thomas Foulds of DIY Cycle Parts on the fantastic custom Virago. We also sincerely appreciate his military service.

The 57-1125P kit includes everything that is needed for substantial power gains

Let’s take a closer look at the kind of performance you can expect after the usual 90 minutes or less that it takes to install the 57-1125P. Bolted on the 88CI engine of an otherwise stock 2006 Softail, the K&N dynamometer showed an estimated horsepower increase of well over 7.5 horsepower. The dyno also revealed a very consistent torque increase across the RPM range with an estimated peak increase of over 8 foot-pounds.

The K&N 57-1125P's air filter is pre-oiled and ready to use out of the box

As impressive as the power numbers are with the 57-1125P, that is only part of the story. The intake is built to last with its billet aluminum throttle-body mounting plate and high-quality intake tube. Those same aluminum bits are sure to enhance the looks of your Harley. The intake is finished off with a high-quality K&N filter with its layers of cotton gauze filter media. That oiled media offers up high airflow and effective filtration.

The 57-1125P easily bolts on to your Harley V-twin

The 57-1125P is made in the USA and is street legal for purchase and use nationwide. Check the long list of applications below and get ready to bolt on instant power!

Dave "Sideways" Sieders hits the curbs hard at Sydney Olympic Park en route to the champsionship

One place that’s long accepted the Coupe Utility concept is Australia, where they’re referred to as Utes. And while some Utes Down Under are used to drive from Sheep Stations (ranches) into town, Utes with big V8s have also been tearing up the streets of Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and every town in-between for decades.

So popular has the high-performance Ute category become, they have their own racing series starting in 2001. Run in conjunction with the Australian V8 Supercar Series, the V8 Utes race in eight events over the course of the season, including the world-famous Mount Panorama Circuit at Bathurst. Each round is based on a three race format with race two formatted as a reverse grid which can vary depending on the number drawn from a ballot. Race three’s grid is determined by the finishing positions from race one and two.

32 Utes start each race, 16 from Ford and 16 from GM's brand "down under" Holden, all V8 powered

Which takes us to K&N Filters-supported driver Dave "Sideways" Sieders (each driver is assigned a nickname by the series to be more fan friendly). Sieders set new Australian V8 Ute Racing Series qualifying and race lap records on his way to winning the 2016 Australian Ute Championship at the Sydney Olympic circuit in his Mango Credit Holden, the last time the controversial street circuit will be used for auto racing.

While setting the qualifying lap record at the Sydney street circuit by eight-tenths of a second in the first round of qualifying, Sieders didn't make the rest of qualifying easy on himself. He flew down an escape road in the V8 Utes' top ten session on his first flying lap, but managed to cross the line for a second lap locking in his time from the first session and in doing so capturing his 19th career pole position.

After years of coming close, Sieders celebrates a well-earned championship on the Sydney podium

By that Sieders means that the Utes that Ford and GM (Holden) have been building in Australia for decades have been discontinued, so it’s the end of the line for the V8 Ute Series. In its place will be a series for mid-sized four-door pickups (like the Chevy Colorado) named SuperUtes and powered by diesel engines.

Sieders entered the V8 Ute Series in 2010, taking the first of his 19 pole positions on his inaugural weekend. He became a regular in the series, finishing second in the championship three times and taking one third. His tally is 28 race wins and 14 qualifying round wins. He changed makes from Ford to Holden before he finally clinched the 2016 Australian V8 Ute Racing Championship in race two at the final race weekend of the season (and the series) at Sydney Olympic Park Street Circuit. Sieders also broke Ford's streak of four consecutive championships, giving the last title to Holden (GM).

A championship driver needs a championship crew, and here are the brains and brawn of the team

"It's taken so much to get here, I just don't think it has really sunk in yet," said Sieders, "it's amazing to think of everything we have achieved, the frustrations and the celebrations, it really has been a great journey".

The Superprestigio podium winners (left to right): Toni Elias, Marc Marquez, and Brad Baker

The event draws superstars from many racing disciplines who all hope to claim the top podium spot. In this year’s event, AMA Superbike standout Toni Elias was on the grid to try his hand at the dirt oval with the other elite racers. Elias is a racer for the K&N-sponsored road racing team of Yoshimura Suzuki.

Spanish rider Marquez confirmed he can compete at the highest level on both the MotoGP tarmac and the Superprestigio dirt. Marquez raced to the win as several other competitors were forced out by crashes and injury in the super-competitive racing.

Marc Marquez wheelies past the checkered flag for the Sperprestigio win

“This is my second win in the Superprestigio Dirt Track, but it has been the most competitive edition!” said Marquez. “I’m so happy with this result but Toni’s pace was impressive! I think every one of us had an extra pressure and this is why some of us did fall during the heats. I’m glad that Simón, Cardús, and Cecchini are all fine! This is a party!”

Elias’ performance was jaw-dropping as he was not seen as a contender for the podium going into the event. While he is certainly a star on the Superbike circuit, the dirt oval is seemingly out of his racing wheelhouse. However, his pace was blazing and he fought off every attack by Baker.

“I wasn’t expecting to get in the Superfinal, and I need to thank my team,” Elias said. “It has been a perfect day, I managed to keep the pace in the Superfinal and this second place is almost like a win! Every time I tried to approach Marc he replied to me showing he’s the big boss in this arena. Congrats to the organization for putting down such a fantastic show!”

An all-star lineup of racers fly out of the Superprestigio starting gate

Baker has proven himself in prior Superprestigios as the man to beat. In this, the 4th edition, Marquez and Elias were up to the task, but Baker’s performance was again impressive. His battle with Elias for the second and third step of the podium was fantastic.

“Well, first off, this event, this time that I come over and spend in Spain is something that I’ll remember forever,” Baker said. “It’s been something that is very important to me and the people that I’ve met here in Spain and for the Superprestigio – it’s irreplaceable. I’ve enjoyed it and I’ve had a really good time here at the Superprestigio, but it’s like the pressure to win and to produce for Flat Track, it gets more intense every single year, everybody else gets better. But I’m just thankful to be a part of that and that Flat Track is here and the Superprestigio is getting bigger and everyone else is growing with it.”

Baker went on to say that bringing American-style flat track to the rest of the world is great for the sport. K&N congratulates all of the Superprestigio winners and we are especially proud of our sponsored riders Baker and Elias.

The AirCharger accommodates the OE MAF and crank case vent hose, so no reprogramming is required

The engine design features an aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners, with an aluminum cylinder head with a four valve per cylinder, double overhead camshaft layout. Mitsubishi independently developed the intake and exhaust manifolds, intake and exhaust ports, and other elements related to engine tuning for its 4B1 version of the engine.

The 2.0L version of the engine, named the 4B11, features a 1:1 bore:stroke ratio (3.38 inches each) which is referred to as square. According to Mitsubishi, these cylinder dimensions allow the engine to develop peak power at relatively high 6500 rpm, and to provide more linear power delivery and a wider torque curve for better flexibility while driving.

The included heat shield keeps power-robbing hot engine air out of the intake tract

And while the architecture of the 4B11 and 4B12 shares much with the powerful EVO engines, upgrading them to deliver EVO levels of horsepower and torque would be a difficult and expensive task. There is a way to improve the performance of your 2015 - 2016 Mitsubishi for less than the cost of a quality putter: the K&N 63-5506 AirCharger air intake system. The system has been chassis dyno-tested to demonstrate an estimated 5.41 horsepower gain over an otherwise stock 2015 2.4 L Mitsubishi Lancer.

The K&N 63-5506 AirCharger air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on 2015 - 2016 2.0L and 2.4L Mitsubishi Lancer models. K&N AirChargers significantly reduce restriction to incoming air flow as well as reduce turbulence in the intake tube. This allows your engine, with each intake stroke, to draw a larger volume of air than the factory air filter assembly would provide. Air is then directed through an aerodynamically-verified intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose.

Best of all, the K&N AirCharger air intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools like a ratchet set, a few screwdrivers, and a couple of wrenches. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package.

Once you've installed your K&N filter you've eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered 2015 - 2016 Lancer. The only maintenance is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N 99-5000 recharger kit to easily clean your AirCharger air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.
