camatv Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 um ok i didnt read the last page of posts if i can figure out a way to add pictures to this site easily i can do a write up. everything i do to the box they come off very easily also if you have to remove the box to get to the bottoms of the carbs wow thats a lot of work... ever consider tilting them? much easier.. also the pro~design clamp setups is very choking. there are a bunch of other plates available that are much larger on the opening inside.. if on a trail bike not everyone and their mom is looking for the maximum hp. i have also dealt with clamping my silencers to the frame and attempting to "cushion" the filters from the frame i ended up going back to the box style. i still prefer that over the pods its just my opinion. and my preference.. i have a 4 mill stocker i am redoing and one of my plans is to redo the box..

kjh Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I been running pods only for years in sand. No issues. I have the pro design set up used if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pods out perform on built motors. No question about it. The only decision for me is foam for super dusty shit or more free flowing gauze. Although there is a need to be smart about the wet stuff you do ride in. I have hydro locked a motor at a race a couple seasons ago when the track was flooding due to a truck going through the ice the night before. First lap the motor spit and sputtered. Second lap I was in 2nd place and setting up first and I hit that puddle (8" or so) and the motor just made that frightening BWAAAOOOOOooog noise. Pulled the head off and the entire case and both cylinders were full of water. The crankshaft rods were shaped like the letter Z. So now of its wet, my bike stays loaded. I have been playing with a big diesel filter and the end of the factory air box. I kind of like it. I just bent a U shaped pan under the bottom of it. Kinda nice.

trickedcarbine Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah, it had Outer Wears. Right now I'm on just pods with wears and trying an aluminum shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 basically what i did was cut the front of the mount out where the U shaped thingy's are at on the box. then i cut completely around where the box is at the air filter. leaving basically only the air filter and the rest of the box in front of that. also take the front section apart and yamabond all over that area and then reasemble and remove excess. doing this makes the box slide right off the pins backwards but still lets the box support itself on the pins.. other times i have cut the pins off the frame completely and then trimed down the old mounts completely and made a little bracked that went on the front of the bolts for the plate and to the front rear fender screwes in the frame.. or sometimes not use the mount at all. the openings on the box went up to a 36mm kehien with no problems if i rember right./. variations can be done as well for more water control cut the entire bottom of the box off and leave the sides.. OR dont ride in the water.... i ran the above completely open style box on a more than a few bikes and if there was any loss in HP i couldnt believe it was noticable.. BUT i also used those larger opening plate OR modified the stock plastic one by resealing it and bolting it to the OEM box... then running a BMC or k+N filter. i really liked the bmc.... best thing was the filters didnt get holes in them the outerware PHH didnt melt and i didn't have all these clamps and insulaters and bullshit hanging all over the back of the bike. if you looked up under the seat just a nice clean air filter hanging out there.. i really like nice and clean stuff without all the crap like cup holders and remote controls for reverse camera's and shit like that.

ATVridinMaNiAc Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Id like to see a pic of that cam, sounds interesting...i run an aluminum no lid airbox with pods and outerwears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcarney Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 are you guys running pods with angled flanges? just picked up a set for my 34 pj's and the flanges are straight, they sit up against my silencer. I saw one post someone had clamps on his silencers- is that the only solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 /-\ngled. Clamps will just put stress on the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bump. Cam, hope you see this, I would like some pics of your air box set up. And where do I get a larger opening plate? Tricked, are you still running an air box or pods? Anyone have any any tricks on modifying a stock box for more flow? I currently have a pro flow set up. What if I cut those nipples off the frame where the box sits in? Can I run the air box again or will that be too much stress on the carb boots? thinking of welding nuts at that location then installing bolts or pins that the air box can sit in then remove if I want to use pods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 gusto ive seen some setups with an alum airbox and then adapters to the bigger mouth of the carb to airbox tubes, im sure someone could fab one for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 FAST sellers the adapter for bigger carbs to the stock box. I’m curious to know what plate Cam used on the inside of the box where it attaches to the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
