I would like to see this bolted to my Lobo chassis and run it thru the suspension travel. The no link may require extending out the front airbox mounts and moving the "front" of the airbox rearward maybe about two inches. My Lobo subframe has the front airbox mounts to run a stock box, in the stock location, with a stock intake boot, but none of those components work with the large no link shock. I heard Doug Roll had his own airboxes originally that probably fit ok with that setup, but like the LSR no link airboxes, they never caught on. Everyone with a Lobo just hacked apart a stock box and ran intake boot extensions and secured the airbox with zip ties to the subframe.

Edit: A good friend of mine owns a cold air induction company. He has about everything I could want at his disposal. I have thought about sitting down with him and coming up with something to work on the no link chassis.

There is no doubt I would need to do a different intake and airbox for the no-link. In fact, I'd probably have to do a couple different designs just due to the nuances in the no-link designs between frames, etc.. Which I plan to tackle as well!! hopefully make some progress on the no link this weekend, with a test fitup on a hybrid bike.

Troy do you have a picture of one of these systems mounted on an OEM or cr500 link bike?

It looks fantastic [MENTION=47]troybilt[/MENTION]. That tube/box is the last piece of the puzzle for me...

Troy what about a filter like this I know the flange is larger but it might fit your design better. http://www.knfilters.com/mobile/mProduct.aspx?prod=E-1999

I thought about and oval intake like that but then I'd be stuck with K&N filters only. I and alot others will only run the foam stuff...

Is this something that will work with the stock air box?

Very cool by the way,keep up the good work

No it won't work with the stock airbox.

I should have the new boxes in my hands tomorrow. they are done ready to be installed. I'm printing now (~25hr print) the new intake boot to check clearances then it will get sent to UPP for molding. Progress!

Good news and bad news: good news is I got the new airboxes in. Bad news they bastards cut them out of 11ga steel instead of 063 aluminum... :facepalm:

How are these coming along Troy? You have any units ready to test for fitment?

Slow, but I got the new boxes remade out of aluminum I just need to do a fitup test right now.
