salmon_slayer06 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 This weekend I finally got around to installing some new long awaited parts for the banshee. Did the swinger bearings, bigger radiator and converted to air pods. I ordered the bigger intakes for the keihn carbs I'm using. It's nice not having to force anything into place. After mounting one carb and fitting one of the pods I checked for exhaust clearance. Well the stinger pipe looks like it's going to be touching the filter and outerwear. That's my first problem. Second is how much play should I have once the carb and filter is installed. I don't like how it moves and imo could possibly fall off or cause the intake boot to rip or crack. Is there a bracket or a way some guys are supporting the carb and filter after the intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweet97Z Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 What size carbs? What brand and part number filters did you get? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon_slayer06 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'll have to double check carb size. I'll get those part numbers later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 What intakes are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 My old angled kns i ran off my pwk 35s fit weird. 20 degree angle is better imo. But you can wrap the stinger in some kind of heat guard material so it wont melt ur outter wear. Sent from my LGMS210 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon_slayer06 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have the angled k and n filters. The opening on these do seem a bit big but the clamp closes them up nicely. I haven't worked on it since the weekend. Going to finish up probably this weekend. I been using the search function for more info on air pods and can't seem to find much info. Did see some pictures that looked like guys were using the exhaust wrap on the stingers where they come through the frame. I guess the exhaust wrap would be best option. I like how the bike is looking cleaner with air box removed. Removed the box tabs as well. Looking to redo harness and relocate cdi behind tank next..

salmon_slayer06 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 The intakes are from fast not sure who makes them. Billet aluminum no crossover tube... angled for carb clearance so it's not resting on clutch arm shaft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweet97Z Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Are they stock mikuni carbs or keihin’s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best move right thereSent from my LGMS210 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon_slayer06 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I tried the exhaust wrap and not the best choice if in contact with anything. The fibers are very delicate and wear easily. So I ended up getting some 1" high temp silicone tubing same as used for exhaust joint clamp and slid only enough to cover up where it touched the air pod... like 5" or so. Worked good. Rewired bike and started first kick. Rode over weekend and jetting dead on. If it had been cooler like 40 degrees instead of the 50-60 I would have jumped up one on main. Instant throttle response. Replaced rear hangers with the chariot ones and happy with those. Lots of fun on fast trails. Up here in the north the snowmobile trails are orv trails in summer. Man does it drink more than ever.
