Lennies Induct a potted history!!

winger · Post by **winger** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 1:43 pm

There were some postings the other day about an Induct,to my amazement people were asking what it was,maybe were not preaching the gospel like we should.

It surfaced in 2000 ish!!,made by an Australian,my bad memory fails me but i think is real name is Mark Lennon or sommat like that,his nickname is Lennie the Modifier and over the years he built a very trick S,pictures can be tracked down on the Pelican site.

When it was launched,it had a rival made by San Jose BMW,Lennies was made of C/F the SJ was injection moulded,and the two makers had a handbags at dawn set too on the Pelican site!!! which took several months to settle down,i don't recall Chris from SJ has ever posted since.

People who bought it very early like Peter actually bought direct from him in Oz,haveing touted it heavly on the Pelican, then set up various importers through out the world,they retail at £250,and 100ish secondhand.

It ain't rocket science it's just twice as big as a stock one,so the motor is able to gulp more air,and if you add a SJ filter does it even better,with a decent pipe.

One of those oddities (Induct) is a registered trade mark.

I'm sure there's loads i've forgotten or missed,but at least gives an insight.

The Lennie's induct certainly works well, although I still retain a certain amount of scepticism as to whether I find all of its effects to my liking. I have little doubt as to its benefits at higher speeds/engine rpm but have always been concerned as to its negative effects lower down the rev range. It definitely makes the motor feel flat below 4500rpm, so much so that I find myself doing overtakes in a gear lower than I would have done without it.

Despite all this, I'd still rather run the bike with it, than without it. Just makes the bike feel peppier.

Just need the SJ filter unit now - anyone know if you can just order this straight from the US? (I've been on to the SJ website for a look-see).

...this is how it looks...

...with the bodyparts mounted you don't see a thing of it ; you can only feel, and hear it...

...BTW : very hard to get these days !

I've always had an hole in my midrange at 4500,put that down to the quirky pipe that i run,a PC cured all of that and some!!!.

I just bought one via SJBMW's internet site - it was mule'd over from the States by one of my work colleagues. I'm sure SJ they send them overseas.

Richard,
When i bought my SJ filter I just rang them to order and it came through the post! Got away with import duty and the dreaded vat if I remember correctly,

Peter.

The big plus of the SJ filter isn't the amount of air it moves!!,it's the fact all the shit drops to the bottom,instead of staying on the stop blocking the filter as it does with both standard and K+N,just clean it out with a vacum cleaner!!.
