HEY SANDSURFER it looks like maybe you know gary @ coustome atv
i say that because thats what they did to my tube. it works well and
my bike pumps some air.and my bike spends more time on a dyno than most spend riding. and no loss of power and and no collapsing and ive pulled my tube off the carb no noticable diff.don't get me wrong guy's but some time simple is best

 

Anyone made any progress on a replacement tube or mod for the stock airbox?

 

I am using 4 hose clamps around the stock tub. I have pick up some more top end. I can now make it up Olds at Glamis in 4th gear.

 

I used large "zip" ties to strengthen the tube and they seem to work very well. I think I may try the hose clamps though.

 

Does anyone have plans for making a new tube or is the idea being scrapped? We may finish the research we started and fix this problem once and for all.

1BEARMAN, Yeah that's why I brought it up again! I think it would be a great performance upgrade and very marketable, in my opinion. I just like the idea of improving on an already great machine!

 

I hope someone is working on a fix. I think we have the "bandaids" down though. We need a permannent fix and one that flows more air.

 

ProEMTPFF, Good point!

 

I also have the hose clamps on the air hose. I think an after market hose would be a good idea. I think that some one should try some aluminum meterial. As well as plastic. The aluminum might cool the air charge going into the carberator a little. And the colder air is the more denser..!!!! Meaning air particals are more tightly packed..!!!! Therefore more air will go into a smaller space..!!!!! Meaning more power..!!!! Muuuhahahahaha... !!!!!!! Oh, sorry I got a little carried away. Muhaha. Come on guies somebody give me a product I can buy.

 

It's ok, BadBombardier650, just think of a happy place!
