Make your own. All it is is pvc pipe, and rubber fittings. Seriously, why pay a ludacris amount of money for stuff you can pick up at Home Depot or Lowes

I priced a kit from Bayou, $300 US. A friend of mine figured out the fittings and plastic pipe that we would need and got the job done for a third of that price. It took me 7 hours of labor, but you have to remove both side panels, front tires and a couple of other items. The actual fitting took about 3.5 hrs. You have to do some trimming of the inner fenders and totally remove a panel that is located on both sides of the bike under the fender.
Best mod I have done. I have heard that it will also reduce the amount of times that I will have to clean air filter. With the carb intake located up the handle bars, you do not get the dust you got before. The best thing is that I do not have to sneak up on a water hole so the motor will not suck steam and lose power. With the Dyna CDI and rejetting that I had done already, I think that with 2 1\2 " unrestricted carb intate, I am getting more air. The bike definitely seems to work better.

Had my bike out for a spin last week and it worked crappy, but it was just my wife and I out for a spin and I thought maybe I over oiled the air filter. The first two trips after I snorkled were great. Saturday morning I cleaned the air filter and we out again.
The faster I went, the worse the bike worked, acted like it was starved for air. I even thought that maybe I had a bad plug or water in the gas, it worked that bad. On a whim, I took off the trapper box that I had just recently put back on the front rack ( I have used that box for the last three years on both my Kawi's).
The box carries two gas cans, one each side, those humps are right in front of the snorkle intakes. The carb intake was being robbed of air by the hump, hard to believe that your bike can be affected by such a simple thing. I took the box off and will find the storage in the two-up seat. I still swear by the snorkle, the beneifits outweigh the shortcomings.
Just thought I would share my findings.
