qboronyrican Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qboronyrican Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I seen a pretty badass aluminum one on eBay yesterday. Give me a minute, and I'll see if I can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has slotted mounting holes, for different intakes/carb setups. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Bans...sQ5fAccessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qboronyrican Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qboronyrican Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 so..........anybody??? someone gotta have this setup and have a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton588 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 so..........anybody??? someone gotta have this setup and have a solution 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87_shee Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 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.
