Default Carbon Fiber AIR RAM box lid for Prairie!!!

I just saw a race ready Prairie 650 for sale on e-bay equiped with the coolest air box lid I ever saw made of carbon fiber for the Prairie 650/700. Has anyone ever heard about or where it can be purchased?

Yeh,

Mike Penland has them for $159.00! I talked to him today, he didn't have one now but will be getting them. I don't know if it will be worth that or not!

I am going to be running a dual forced air system threw the front plastic cover over the radiator cap right into the airbox!

Yep, I know that ATV. Penland did some work on it.

The guy that owned it sold it to get a V-Force; or some other ripper.


Trailride,

It funnels cool air directly into the airbox. I forget if it replaces both lids or just the outer one. I think just the outer one. Then you fab two ducts down to the airbox.

Trailride,

Look at the front on picture, you will see a snorkel sticking out on the left side of machine. It forces cool air around air box and down over motor?

Considering the DG snorkel is $135 I think the $160 range is pretty good for this airbox lid. I think it looks awesome....it would look better if it vented out the other side as well but I don't know the Prairie that well. Maybe there is something over there that wouldn't allow that. If I had a Prairie I would be all over that airbox lid.....but then again, I'm a sucker for anything made of carbon fiber.
