Im gonna do a write up on mine this weekend! Pics and all.

bad a$$ thanks for the timely pm reply robb...man you guys are all great and oh so helpful...im lookin forward to that write up ........woo-hoo

Robb, Does the snorkle help if your bike flips upside down? LOL
Looking forward to you "snorkle report".

Check out this link for the Snorkit. It is a ready-made prepackage snorkle for the 450. If you do not want to make one yourself.

ya, i saw that snorkit thing but i just think that is a whole lotta money for something i know i can make myself..

They are not hard, just make sure you extend all then vent lines and seal up the airbox and connections good.

Yeah they dont do well when the bike is upside down. I did add that in my write up lol, just gotta go get some pictures and I will have it up. Speaking of the Snorkit, I ordered one, but by the time it got here, I had my own made for a whole lot less, so I sent it back, never even opened it up, but im sure its a nice piece.

BIGSIX,

What'd you do to extend your stock snorkle up higher for more clearance?

hmmm"snorkit"...sounds kinda funny to me...like..."hey if it dont work just snorkit".....wow im dumb...just for the heck of it..any of you have any head work done? port/polish etc...?if yes was it worth it?

Ask Robb in a week or so when he gets his motor reassembled.

i hate to admit how rigged this was..especially for me...(cause i am kinda anal)..but i just found some shop-vac tube that fit over the stocker and jammed/clamped it on there..then ran it up near the steering stem...pretty ghetto actually....couple of zip-ties here and there good to go..lol

Oh okay, lol! Hey, it worked, and that's all that counts.

i never said it worked all that well...never did anything with vent lines or sealing the air box till now...there is a reason its torn apart and being totally rebuilt right now.....i flooded it out...just like robb...lol..and i think i damaged what i did and sucked in water cause of that crappy snorkus to boot...

Ok guys and gals...here is how I did mine...

Like its noted on the page, there are probably better and/or easier ways of doing this, but this works for me, looks half decent. Let me know what you think.

Beautiful report Robb. "A-" One of the photos was out of focus. but good work.

What is your next book report on?

great write up robb....already was at home depot and picked everything up....tomorrow i make the snorkus...i spent a few bucks less than you did
too....sure as heck beats 140 bucks for the triangle kit too!!

Cool, let us know how it turns out!!

Yeah my photo skills are not the greatest..lol But I can handle an A-!!

140.00 is alot cheaper than a motor rebuild when you sink it and find out you didnt have it totally sealed up. I have the triangle snorkit and love it, they include all the lines to extend your vents, etc. I have piece of mind that it was done right the first time with no leaks. It also looks good, almost factory. Ive heard too many stories of people building a snorkle only to find out the hard way that it leaked then have to re do the snorlke along with the 5-10 oil changes / possible rebuild. So what is cheaper to you? Go with the snorkit and have piece of mind that it was done right the first time.

wow almost sounds like you work at triangle...(note:this was not a paid endorsement)..lol...but anyways building a water proof snorekl isnt exactly the hardest thing in the world to do, anyways did the snorkit come with any provision for actually making the airbox itself truly sealed? i dont believe it does and i'd be willing to say that just like every other foreman lid yours isnt water tight completely..(unless you did something to seal it up)also a motor rebuild and teardown isnt all that to imposing for me, kinda fun actually, alot less parts than the nitrous-fed, fully built v8's i build regularly for customers...and even triangle says they dont garuntee(sp?) anything anyway....so being the semi-intelligent, very mechanically inclined person i am...im sure mine will be just as good if not better for 2 reasons...1. it will completely work just as well as theirs...2.I made it, and for a whole lot less. Thanks for your input though.
