[MENTION=463]Skeans1[/MENTION], she's tight in there.... reminds me of my saber.. I had the advantage of the offset shock with the laeger CR500 linked frame.

Here is my dyno runs on my dyno with a Pro-A TT bike... FCI vs my G3 and GTT intakes.

My Rig, sound deadening room. Full exhaust evacuation system... sucks cause I just build this room and now I'm building a new shop that much bigger... going to build another dyno room.

Guess that's what we get for throwing drag cylinders into a full suspension bike.

A rigid intake may not work for that either. You have very little space from the end of the carb to the shock. But we'll see what we can do.

If need I could get some material and cone out an intake for you to copy off of.

What we've done in the past is use welding wire or stiff wire.... basically hang the filter where it needs to be, then use wire to make a "frame" and then wrap with painters tape. To sort of make out the shape. I might jsut send you what I have now, and not worry about the filter yet and see how it fits.

That's fine Troy let me know what you decide.

Any progress on this Troy?

Yes I sent 2 designs to Ryan for test fitment. I've got Skeans Puma intake all but ready to ship.

Thanks for putting the effort into these.

If I made up a wire frame would you be able to make it? I would like to try this on my Ziggy with a Puma. Also gonna need something for a stock frame bike with a 400cc+ Rotax.

Possibly... What's a ziggy chassis? LOL

So are you just clamping the filter to the carb? No velocity stack etc..? One of these days, especially on the drag chassis's, I'm going to get chassis builders keyed into the intake space... The intake is as important as the pipe on the other side...

Rupp250 · « **Reply #223 on:** May 12, 2016, 04:46:08 PM »

Yup, just clamped to the carb. I know there is some to be gained.

Exactly. way too many banshee guys think the pod carbs directly on the carb is beneficial and they could't be more wrong.
