Stock belt exhaust
snorkel |
Stock belt intake
snorkel |
Stock air intake air box
lid |
Everything included in
the kit |
First we removed the side
plastic and gas tank per the
instructions. With everything
off the bike it was a great time
to put dielectric grease in all
our electrical plug. This protects
them from water damage |
We cut the rear part of the
gas tank shield to make
room for the snorkel |
Moving up front we removed
the front rack and hood to
cut out the stock belt intake
hose location. This provided
enough room for the new
snorkels |
Using the supplied template
we cut a hole just big enough
to route the new snorkels
through the stock hood. |
After removing the stock air
box lid we removed the seal
to reinstall in the new air
box lid provided with the kit |
The lid on the left is stock
and the lid on the right is the
lid included |
Snapping the lid down and
routing the new provided
crank case vent line we was
almost ready to run the snorkels |
To make more room for the
snorkels we turned the
shifter bracket around to give
us about 1 more inch to
work with |
We did this by just removing
the bolt and spinning it around |
After turning the bracket
you will need to readjust
your shift linkage |
Per the instructions the rear
belt snorkel was attached and
ran to the front of the bike |
Next we ran both air intake
snorkels to the front routing
them next to the carb by way
of the new opening we cut
out |
Again we ran the front belt
snorkel to the opening we cut
in the plastic |
Once the snorkels were ran
we could reinstall the gas
tank over the snorkels |
It is a very tight fit but it will
fit. |
I promise it will fit |
Pushing the tank down and
starting one bolt and then
the other we slowly was
able to get the tank back
in place |
Once it was time to reinstall
the plastic we had to trim the
plastic were we modified
the shift linkage |
Keep in mind that this mod is
not required and the kit will
still work without it. We just
wanted more room for our
snorkels |
See I told you it would work..
One tip would be make sure
your filter is clean and you
do not have to remove the lid
before the first ride. Before the
heat has formed the snorkels
it can be hard to reinstall the lid |
With all the snorkels routed
out of the front plastic we can
start finishing this project |
Pulling the snorkels as far out
as you can will make it easier
to install the front snorkel
plate |
If the plate will not go down to
bolt it down you can always
stand on it. Sometimes being
fat does come in handy |
The plate is bolted to the front
rack using factory holes in the
rack |
Here you can see how the
snorkels connects to the
bottom side of the plate |
We took our bike deep in the
water with no problems out
of the snorkels |
One tip would be to make sure
your air box drain plug is
installed
|
Ours disappeared during the
install and we found out
during our testing |
The bike was not hurt |
And the owner of the bike did
not hurt me |
Go Deep or Go Home!! |
