I am sure some of you have done this. I have the 39 carb, rick said it was going to be a tight fit. I was dry fitting everything and holding it in place with the airbox it looks like it will never fit. Any thoughts? I was thinking of trying to fab up an airbox that will fit in there.... Dont really wanna spend the time on that though.

 

I used to have a 96 sport.....with a different carb(can't remember what kind).....but I had to switch to a different airbox(I think like a modded one out of a trailboss).....It fit a circular airfilter in it, and had holes in the top and bottom(both of which could have been made)

 

i have one on my express yes it is a tight fit the first few times i took a file on the edge and tapered it abit and wiped some oil on it and works i did not think it would but it did

 

i have one on my 96 sport it is tight thats why i put a clamp on k&n on and with my power now setup a stock box wouldnt work

 

i forgot i still run the stock air box 2

 

But isn't the express airbox a round box(basically)?? Does a round filter fit into it???? For my bigger carb, I had to find a box that would be smaller and fit a round airfilter(or the smaller box did fit a round one).......

 

yes it is round but the hole size close to the carb size and the filter is round to i made a peice of hose to fit between carb and air box and it is tight but it does fit

 

do you ride in muddy conditions do you really need an airbox?

 

our sand dunes up here are mud pits. i would like to try the dunes thou

 

Yeah, i need and airbox. I wish I didn't, but i do hit mud quite often, i dont think a k/n slip on with outerwear would be enough.
