Status: offline 		I had a buddy bring over his 05' King Quad and asked me to snorkle it and bring the radiator up and make it mud ready so I did. He wanted it in the middle and I wanted to do one in the middle cause I might do mine soon. Well heres the pics to it. I still got to paint the radiator but everything is water tight. Had it about 3" from water going into the snorkle today on accident but rode it out and it did great. I think Im going to cut down the snorkles some also.  Just got to clean it up some. Tell me what you think.

Block off plate for the stock intake.





Radiator bracket.



Finished

Status: offline 		Thanks man. Ive done so many snorkle jobs, but I wont posts pics. Countless H1's, Brutes, KQ's, Honda's, Yamahas, everything pretty much. If you or know anyone that needs one let me know. I got about $100 in this one. Its what I love to do.

You can see my red one in the background haha looks pretty big haha.

Also the radiator is on more of a angle then Id like but I didnt want to cut any of the front plastic since they didnt even have the radiator peice so I just made it all go up there.

I'm getting ready to snorkel mine and was hoping you might have some helpful hints.  Thanks.

I didnt cut any plastic on this snorkle for this one. I just took off that little radiator cover and brought everything up threw that.

Also the bolt are to hold that fitting in place. When you buy the Shop Vac Hose its a fitting in there.

I wish I lived by you so I could hang with you. I love doing this kind of work but there's no one around me that is serious enough to do mods like this. you can say I'm a big fish in a little pond. Ha Ha
I have fun working on my bike but I'm out of money LOL
By the way, I like the piece of diamond plate steel on the front rack. Nice touch

That looks to be very easy to use to snorkel the airbox.

Here is a link to look at so you can find the size you need. If you notice the fitting has a female thread on it so you can screw a male adapter in it. Then you can any kind of pipe you want.
http://webcat.ryanherco.com/products/820/110/110/820110110.cfm
http://www.savko.com/portal/bulkhead.asp
Here it is installed

This fitting can be used to come out the fron too.
