boss intake w/airbox

[qboronyrican]

anyone using the boss intake with 28mm carbs and the stock airbox????? im having a problem with it all fitting......does anyone have a airbox mod solution????

[shee4speed]

show some pics with what the problem is and someone will be able to help you out.

dont have no pics but the problem is it doesnt fit...... i guess the boss manifold is bigger then stock setup therefore it looks like the stock airbox needs to go back and relocated or be modified some how

Are you partial to the airbox? If you don't ride where it's muddy, I would lose it and get some pods and Outerwears.

i ride everywhere unfortunatly ....muddy, dusty, coal mines, sometime through small streams to get from one trail to another so i got to keep it unless someone knows a better solution

I seen a pretty badass aluminum one on eBay yesterday. Give me a minute, and I'll see if I can find it again.

Here ya go. It has slotted mounting holes, for different intakes/carb setups.

yea i seen that before but when i need to go through the streams when they get a little deep i throw my lid on and that airbow has no lid

Don't know what to tell ya then, other than get out the torch, grinder, and welder. Make your own. If the shit gets too deep, make a snorkel to go with it. lol.

yea without a picture its hard to help ya, but id try to come up with something to make it work or maybe try to customize, cut yours to make it work, hell maybe use some duct tape!

[qboronyrican]

yea i figured anyone that uses this setup maybe could help me out on this one......just wondering what those poeple did for a fix......if you have this setup then you know what im talking about and dont need a pic

[qboronyrican]

so..........anybody??? someone gotta have this setup and have a solution

The boss intakes basically have the reed spacer built in. I don't know of any way to get it all to fit. Your best solution may be to run a different set of intakes like some UPR's. I can see why it all won't fit, but unfortunately I can't be of more help...sorry :shrug:

The solution is to loose the air box. I run boss intakes on 3 Banshee's I've built. I run a LUNGZ intake, the bad thing is he does not make them any more. I'm going to make some out of alum. for some other bikes I'm building. If you want to keep the Boss, you have to do a custom set up.

I went through the same thing when i bought my boss intake, I bought one of the aluminum airboxs like posted above and then had to cut like 2 inches off of it before it fit. I like the setup but it was kind of a pain to get it all to fit. I ride trails with lots of mud and watercrossings too and I take my time when it gets deep and have never had a problem with water getting in. I couldn't find a way to modify my stocker to fit and still needed an air box so this was the best solution i could come up with, looks a hell of alot better too.
