« on: November 20, 2012, 11:20:12 am »
Can you run a 250 or 500 airbox on a Hybrid Conversion?

What year frame? on a 91-92 yes.  87-90 is a lot harder not much room for a filter once you fit a box. I built a box once and by the time it was done was not worth running, but I also only had a break at the time. you can hack a up a oem to work but again small filter.

Carl - would you say the 91-92 LT250R is the easiest Hybrid to convert? I am looking to do a standard wheelbase all-round use conversion.

i did the same thing as you, Carl, but on a 500.  Built my airbox but then realized i didnt even need it (Small filter and very restrictive)  Now i just run an airbox eliminator with a big AEM.

Obviously if you like to take your bike through the mud often this isnt a good idea.

Not the easiest to convert you have to notch the backbone for carb cable clearance. And there's something else I think.  Once together the carb is a royal pain to get at to work on. But for a setup with an airbox probably the best bet, I use one of SBLT's aluminum ones on my 250 and its the best for a filter hands down. uses a 250r honda set up.

I am actually considering doing another hybrid with a 92 chassis just because of the Airbox, but it depends on if I get started building a whole new frame or not. I have to clip it and hybrid mod it so by the time I do all that I may put the time towards a X.

Is the 87-90 Chassis better for carb maintenance and tuning? That to me is better than not having an airbox.

Ya the 87-90 is the easiest chassis to do and the best form carb clearance.
