Trinity CV 35mm Carb

[oldturtle]

I installed Trinity CV 35 kit with air box O-ring billet adaptor between carb and air box. Fit up was very poor. The rubber boot on intake manifold, the carb inlet and outlet spigets, and airbox adaptor would not line up properly. I even shimmed under the rear of air box but this only slightly improved alignment. I also filed off the hump in the rear of carb inlet spiget per Trinity inst. to fit into O-ring adaptor. Finally, the manifold rubber boot is only partially clamped onto carb outlet and the carb inlet is not all the way into the air box O-ring adaptor. This is best I could get and it held together for a couple days of riding but I am concerned for the long haul. Trinity denies ever having a problem like this before and suspects that my frame has been tweaked or altered. I am second owner and don't have full history but frame sure looks original. Trinity says they have sold hundreds of these billet air box adaptors and have never had problem. So have any of you tried Trinity's air box adaptor and if so how was the fit?

By the way, I love the way the bike performes. It is a one kick starter and goes like stink. I love it. I am on the verge of removing the air box all together but wanted to get opinions first.

I also am running a K&N with pro-flow adaptor, outerwears, and no lid. I just felt this would give more filter protection plus I would have the option to install lid for cool night riding or in wet conditions. Thanks.

Fu^k that adapter . When I had one it didnt fit either. I went to the auto parts and bought a radiator hose of the same O.D. of the carb cut a length of 3 inche maybe more or less, and attached that between the carb an adapter. You will have to move the air box back. When you put that tube in it will cause less turbulance if its like 3 or 4 inches. If you want for shits an giggles you can buy the tornado you see advertized on the speed channel an install it in the tube. LOL
