No space for filters, advice please.
OK well a picture tells a thousand words and all that so...
As you can see, room is a premium for filters, currently have some K&N style ones I have crushed with a vice and rammed them into the gap just to have filters on.
Considered foam ones, but don't think they will work too well, other idea is maybe velocity stacks, but cant seem to find any anywhere the right size.
Other idea was to maybe get some PVC pipe with and make a tube either side to stick the middle ones out the side, but not sure what the best option is really.
Any and all advice much appreciated. |

Take a look at Poop's build! I think he made an awesome intake set-up. Maybe you can try something like that!

There are tons of small filters out there that will work.

i struggled with options for a long time, decided to buy some mandrel bends and cut-'em up. gay as it sounds, i cut up a lot of paper towel tubes to get an idea first of where i was going. it was ugly, but helped me conceptualize.

Thanks, considering just making a little stainless air filter box to go over all four.
Your bike looks awesome by the way.
My main worry with doing them in pipes is having the inner carbs with longer runs than outer carbs.
Rastoy don't suppose you could link something? I cant find anything that fits off the shelf.

the length of the pipes doesn't make nearly so much difference when it's between air filter and carb. the air/fuel mixture still has four nearly identical paths to follow from carb to combustion chamber. i had to keep reminding myself of that, as well.
thanks for the compliments.
here is an online selection of k&n's offerings.

Was thinking of doing it in copper, but damn copper T-pieces are expensive, as are aluminium and stainless ones.
Make my own then I guess.

try to be sure you have smooth airflow into the mouth of each carb.
