I would say 70-80 miles. On one ride this year, I had to kick onto reserve at around 60 miles. Depends on how hard you ride, too.

Depends on your riding style. We can easily get 70-90 miles on a tank riding hard, and can get 140 miles or more riding easy.

For the snorkel, I went to Lowes and bought five feet of 1 1/2" inch ABS pipe and a bunch of elbows of all sizes, 45,60 and 90 degrees, and some street elbows in these sizes. Spent about 18 bucks. Fiddled around with them until they were what I wanted and glued 'em together.
The piston comes from your friendly Honda dealer....

The most miles put on one tank of gas was 60. The Recon still looked 3/8 to 1/2 full. These quads don't use any gas.
