are you talking about 3d printing with rubber or silicone? theres only one part i might need like that but i still have to dig in and fiddle with it more. when i get a chance to get back out and mess with it ill snap pics. it will be way easier to to explain it with pics

I can do either.. I prefer PP plastic right now, been having awesome luck with that stuff. I'm working on some new printable polyurethan rubber.

That lid is pretty sexy! That's the same general idea I had in my head. Using the snorkel connection be in the lid. How does it connect onto your lid? My thought was an aluminum tube (or maybe 2) going into the lid on a steel angle and have the hose clamp to it and then up and under the seat

Its riveted to the lid, with sealer tape

Is there a snorkel tube running up to the front or is the lid the snorkel itself?

How many of us ride under water is a good question.

Apparently more than one! :apologetic::neglected:

This is what [MENTION=47]troybilt[/MENTION] is supposed to prevent lol

Looks like you got a little bit of water in there! Just clean it with a rag and you will be good to go! Haha

Might look at the ktm xc style box for some more ideas

Someone needs to be wrapped in a bubble to ride underwater:rofl:

The lid is the snorkel, using gravity to work for you. The opening faces down. Then has to travel up and over into the lid

Ah ok cool. Now I assume this is only intended to protect against splashing rather that a deep water crossing. Correct?

There is hydrophobic material under the lid, forgot to mention that too.

Nah it works in deep water, just not over the seat deep water.

This was the first iteration, which didn't work too good.. That is the design on the left on the tailgate, for this application... this is a 60hp motor, btw.

New design installed on my personal 450r, mines and MX bike, so I don't need it but was checking fitment... get the idea of layout.

Very nice! You make nice stuff for sure! I love the different ideas

I run the cfm airbox with some outerwear material fastened down as a lid. So far so good dealing with splashes and what not.... Also using silicon adapter/hose to go from airbox to BB motor. If you want a pic i can get one. That Robl one wasn't ready when i was building my r
