- In Mother Russia, gas mask wears YOU!
In this video I take the old filter from my Russian gas mask and create a cover for my NEW air filter on the Sportster wasteland motorcycle!
How to Make a 4" Air Filter:
www.hdforums.com/forum/sportst...
The 4 inch air filter was just $13 at my local Auto Zone, and with a little bit of modification, fit right on to the Sportster carb. It's a cheap, working option for those who want to change the look of their stock Sportster air filter.
The Russian gas mask became a headlight cover in my original Mad Max Motorcycle video, but since had been chopped off. The filter fits PERFECTLY over the 4" air filter. I LOVE the look of the inside piece, which is why I made it as the cover for the filter.
I may go back and get another gas mask filter (super cheap) and cut it properly to try creating a cover again.
I hope you enjoyed this WASTELAND WEDNESDAY!!!

All of the crap that I get for my motorcycle costs a small fortune but then you buy the cheap stuff and make it look cool. Your bike is way more customized than mine will ever be and yet you probably paid a fraction of the price. I love what you do and I can't wait to see what other awesome ideas you come up with next.
Thank you dude!! I've paid my dues in getting this heap of metal back to good running condition lol. Since the theme is wasteland, I try to imagine that in apocalyptic times you just have to use what you can find. So I get to scavenge and make old junk into parts! I love new stuff too but re-purposing is cheap fun.
That inner piece looks badass
Thanks dude! There was another piece that looked even cooler but I had to tear it up to get the junk out of the filter :/
This may well be my favorite channel.
asbestos In the air is so delicious mmmm
That looks sick af!
Awesome, you nailed it that looks sweet.
Thank you!
Now I see what you were talking about. Looks rad! More brass parts!!!
Love wasteland Wednesday just wish I coulda watched it then! That really looks good awesome mod!
Damn that looks pretty good and the bikes looking greater by the day. Love the idle note of your carby engine to
Super sweet!
Thank you!
Super creative.
Thank you dude!
I really enjoy your videos. Super dope, someday your gonna get really popular!
Looks Rad an functions killer.
Great job dude
I'd spray paint it rust brown or black just to match the bike. But damn it does look sick. Sounds a little more "airy" too.
looks good
nice idea to still make it fit and hope you get back to the old idea and modif it so it will fit and you can ride during raining day we all know we ride in the rain xD!!!
Lookin sweet!
Big shout out from galway Ireland.love your channel...
That grate looks great. lol Savage af! Good job.
Missed you, good shit, keep it up!
Interesting. Can opener plus folgers coffee can. Bet the can opener could have done the Gas Mask Can as well. Innovative in any case using the part of the gas mask filter to hold the mc filter on. Ny-Lock nuts are your friend.
awesome! i almost like the grate from the inside more than the mask!!
😍 Badass!
Pretty sweet I'm in the process of making a new air cleaner cover myself. Looking for a vintage 50s piece I can modify to fit over my current air filter.
Looks fucking sweet, make sure to keep rain bag with you just in case lol ride safe
Needs filter oil! K&N sells a recharge kit on Amazon for cheap. Get the aerosol kind though, way easier to apply evenly. Cool vid, looks good, custom AF! Much better than the tuna can :)
I didn't even think of that! I totally have some filter oil. Thank you dude!!
Great job! Makes me want to get a cruiser so I can mod it up.
Thank you. Go for it!! Get something cheap, even if it's slow, it's so much fun!
Thats awsome KQ, love the look and i bet it gives a nice roar when u twist the gas.
You might need to adjust the fuel air mixture as it could make the bike run lean.
Already adjusted the richness so she's running mean! It totally gives it a different sound and throttle response is way sharper
I've got one of these Russian gas masks. I wore it to a few fancy dress/costume parties, but it looked a bit gimpy :)
Looks badass. the only thing I would suggest is taking some screen from a screen door or window and putting it behind the cover. the holes that are in it allows a lot of dirty to potentially enter the carb and the engine.
looks badass though. good work!
Nevermind. ignore that. haha. I read below where you said there was a solid cover. Haha. I'm retarded.
No worries that would still make a great idea for additional air filtration around the cover! Especially for those dusty, windy days. Thank you!
Killswitch Queen no problem!
Nice, Dude. although the air filter looks so clean and new compared to the rest of the bike. Glad you still were able to use part of that Russian air filter.
Haha true! I'm sure it will get nice and dirty in time. I'd like to get a red K&N filter eventually, and then black out the brackets!
Killswitch Queen I have an extra K&N filter and you're totally welcome to it
Brilliant! I fucking love that include the things that didn't work in your videos
Thank you!!
You come up with some really cool shit! I think I'm going to have to steal this idea!
wow you come up with the coolest ideas. :-D I swear this is one of the most entertaining bike builds on you tube! hahahaha!
"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents" ~ Bob Ross. I've got the same problem with my air filter set-up... trying to find/make a cover I'm happy with. It'll probably end up being the bottom of a coffee can.
Lol! I would love to be the Bob Ross of motorcycle builders. Maybe that can be the next series... And that's a sweet idea! Have to get creative to have something unique. Maybe I can find an old oil can or the like that would work better.
You're original idea would have looked pretty awesome, but I like your solution better. I'm hella going to hit up that cycle swap in April! I used to work around the corner from that drive in, those are my old stomping grounds
Thank you dude!! Hell yeah I'll see you there!
Dont you love how shit works out like that? Looks good!
Sometimes I think it's just luck lol. Thank you!
Too cool
Where did you find he carb mount? I’ve been looking everywhere and no luck!
I found it at a swap meet, but Kuryakyn makes it, called the carburetor support bracket. Makes running custom air filters easily possible!
Just a thought.... but you could cut the top of the gas mask filter an eighth of an inch wide ... slip that over the filter ... fits perfect over it .. drill hole for wing nut bolt and done..... no dirty air going through the piece you made.... just clean air through the filter......looks awesome.... but clean air is better then dirty air......just a different way of looking at it......a mechanical way for the engine and it would save engine from dirt.....
^ Thats what I would do. Cut just enough ring from the gas mask so that it slips over the first chrome bit of the air filter. Then add your wingnut to the 'front'
Genius! I will give it a shot!! Thank you!
I know this is an older video but just curious if you had to re jet the carb or if it ran alright with this setup
Nice
can you do a motor vlog of you talking about your worst experiences on the road while riding? you've got me into riding more even though.... I'm only on a 50cc 😣 but the road is my haven so I'll be going bike over car and I've nearly been thrown off the road multiple times and plan to do videos on explaining on what happened
Definitely! The road is a crazy place and I've had my share of close calls. Wow be careful out there!!
I used an old gt hubcap from an old mustang for my air cover on my chopper
Love your videos ..by the way you remind me of the girl Joe from the 80's tv show The Facts of Life"
You pull that one off! It looks sick! The only thing I'm thinking of is (and that's because I'm a commuter rider) you better not ride on a wet day lol
Walter Deans Cheers from Portugal .
nice video!
Thank you! I'm not too worried about the rain, if I ever get caught I'm sure I can MacGyver a cover to get me home!
The moment she finished putting it on and was showing it off, my mind started coming up with a rain shield design.
Some 'rust' or 'hammer mark' paint to make it look home made, or scrap scavenged, and voila. I'm thinking a 1/3rd circle to protect the front and bottom and a bit of the top of the round filter should be fine. Maybe flair the top and bottom a bit to add some of that 50's Art Deco swoop styling to it.
Urgh! Killswitch Queen is making me wanna make my garage into a workshop to try out these ideas she's giving me!! GAAAAAAAH!!
bruh ahight i want that green filter can with the war writing and stencil on it to. i do what you do, as far as junkion type stuff! i just dont vlog it. lol. if you cut the center out of the green can and cut the jagged bottom rim off. you could use a mig and tac 4 spots to hold that bad ass piece you got to the inside of the can. JS. cause i love your original idea and that disk would give it plenty of breathing room!. love the vlogs and bike looks sick
why the changefrom the leds back to a normal headlight?
This was before the switch, pre-LED lights!
Love the bike, you should have smoked him though. Sportsters are fast for that bike catagory. Those tuna an are outstanding in winter. Slip your hand between it and the hanging gives you a good beaing point of where the heat is without taking eyes off road or mirrors. Same for left hand, just a tip.
im beggining to think that maybe showbikes arent funtional at all, sucks cause that charcoal canister looked awesome, but your going to get a TON of airflow :D time to check that afr! :)
Definitely adjusted the fuel. Can't be running lean with everything I've put into this thing lol
NICE! on the filter canister, if you used a hole saw and cut huge holes, equally spaced, it would look kool and flow air :P
Would've been awesome if that worked......still turned out awesome though!
What kind of seat do you have?
It's a Mustang seat, not sure exact type
WASTELAND WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!
IKR!!! This is my second favorite day of the week now.
I LOVE THESE!!! I love the beginning and ending of the Wasteland Wednesday series. I love the Harley WasteRatScrambler. I love your cute RidinMecanicinVloggin ass.
Nice! Just be careful in the rain. Also, fuck that prius. lol
whaaaaaa , that is one rad bike youre building KSW . Gonna black out the grate ?
Most likely not but I will black out the rest of the brackets!
once you're done all these mods, you should consider getting your bike tuned for optimum performance, especially with a less confined air filter, you're sucking in a lot more air now.
Looks awesome. The new cover you made looks like some wasteland insect hive piece you scavenged to make into an air filter.
makes me shudder at the memory of the cazadores in Fallout New Vegas.
es chingon!
Lookin' good!
You can still cut that green cover at the middle groove (and get rid of the part that isn't cut well) and use the outer half.
Great job!
Rock on!
Looks great! But, realize the air coming through your new top plate is not being filtered.
Thank you! No air coming through, there is a solid cover beneath the gas mask piece
Killswitch Queen
Rock On, I missed that!
Keep on being awesome and entertaining. You have motivated my girl to ride, and I thank you for that!
Do you ride in the rain much? I would be koncearned with the paper being affekted by the weather. Just sayin, from my own all weather enduro type wasteland riding experience. Not to be negative or nothing. Anyways looks good and funktional. I hope it runs strait without issue. I hope to have my blakk metal monstrosity put bakk together and running tomorrow. I'll see.... lol.
Hails KSQ!
P.S.
The dam didn't break! :D
Me and the homie's krew were on some point sketch dude!
Glad you're alright after all the flooding! No rain riding for me if I can help it, I may make a cover in case I do get caught though.
4:22 :) tambien
nice fallout 3 music
This filter contains like major layers of asbestos.
I wore a mask, but know that one short exposure won't kill you, it is multiple exposures over a period of time that can create the possibility of problems
looks dirty but I like dirty good job.
mmmmmmm yummy asbestos
nice mod....the bike is looking bitching ,if they ever make another Mad Max your bike should be in it
Mmmm asbestos
Yeah drilling holes in the cover plate completely bypasses the filter so you are sucking dirt into your motor. Those poor valves, seats l, and rings....
1) I didn’t drill any holes, that’s exactly how that piece came out of the filter, and 2) I put it on top of the solid cover, so there’s no “bypass” it’s all as it should be
Thanks
first
That filter contains asbestos and you cut it open.. Rip.
Yup I huffed it all in. Felt great
lol
мама папа Костя
agggggggggLOL just cut the outside disc you dont need the sides just sandwich the filter between the outer plate of your org can
*cough cough* asbestos filter *cough cough*
Another Rad mod
Lots of asbestos.
