I have had problems with aftermarket intakes getting past my Axis shock. The connecter clamps are really tight. No room to get them in and I had to get longer rubber tube so I could get the clamps on. Just and FYI

His design should be ok. I have addressed this with him on mine.

I know my led intake rubs bad enough it wore a hole in the boot.

The intake will be made from 6ply wire reinforced silicone rubber but it will have some pliability to squeeze between the shock and frame. I've got a new supplier that I'm working with on this, so bare with me. I bought another R, so I can do some test fitting myself. I just need to go pick it up. I'll be dyno testing this pretty soon. Just about wrapped up with the trx and yfzr, the 250r is my next big project. I plan to have multiple intakes and configurations for the R, including a big drag setup.

Those of you that are crushing the stock box where is it hitting? Here is the overlay, I'd rather fix now before I order the pcs.

rablack21 · « **Reply #131 on:** April 20, 2016, 08:21:59 AM »

Troy,
The only places that I know of that are in danger of being hit are:
1. Bottom right side of the airbox on the rear caliper at full compression of the rear suspension
2. Bottom front of the airbox contacting the rear shock spring coils. (Some oem airboxes had "humps" in the front of them. Can't remember which years did and which ones didn't.
(This information pertains only to the stock linkage) I don't know about other linkage setups.

Brake caliper is hitting. Its hitting my CFM aluminum airbox about middle of the box on the right side. I had to cut and modify my aluminum CFM to clear.

The OEM box drops down obnoxiously far in the front right. That's where it hits my shock spring. Don't have any issues with the 450r caliper i'm running

Yeah, this is what I was talking about. Some of the year boxes had a curve cut out of them in the front to give clearance to the shock spring, but some years did not.
