Definitely interested in a 250 version. I think it would be tough though due to the different air box set ups through the years. I'm currently running a super trick PVC set up. lol

A custom 91-92 intake would be sweet  :D Good luck on trying to make that.  :P I'm in for 1  ;)

After talking with my partner, he is thinking we might be done with the intakes.  The first set of the v2's was discounted because the v1 could develop cracks.  We'll see what the final verdict would be.... possibly have to take prepayments so we don't have to be out of pocket so much dough when waiting for them to sell.

I just don't think the 250's are in the plans.

Correct 250's are not in the picture right now.  Just talked to my partner and hopefully we will have a second batch of the 500 intakes built soon.

Very nice set up! Is there any reason I couldent have an airbox built to house the filter and use your kit? I.e. clearances with rear shock, swingarm, brake rotor, etc. I have never seen an aftermarket lt500 airbox.

If you want to run a airbox but want a better set-up the Duncan Racing adapter for the stock airbox looks like the hot ticket.

Like mentioned above.  This kit is an airbox delete kit.  Both SBLT and we made this type of kit.  Your best bet would be like Rider414 mentioned in using the Duncan Racing adapter.  This bolts to the OEM airbox and lets you put on an aftermarket filter.

Somebody could design an aftermarket airbox for the Zilla pretty easily I believe.  There should be no shock clearance issues as the OEM carb to filter boot goes around the shock.  You would need to come up with a good design for the air intake though.  I'm assuming you would want to keep water/mud out of the box, but allow enough air into the air box to make some good power. 

Good luck in what ever you decide to do.

i made an aluminum airbox for my 500.  made it probably 3 years ago now.  never showed it off.  wanted to see how it held up then made more.  never made more!  has held up good. 

i have a airbox delete like this kit and i make an aluminum adapter to fit inside the stock airbox for a clamp on filter.

WHY does the bracket have to be welded in place? The bracket looks awefull homemade the way you have it. Please offer that with just a mounting spot or 3? People can make there own brackets that suit them. DONE! now everybody that has an LT and Wants the LT500 manifold and carb sytem  can use your gear. Hell there are many bikes that could use something like that. You owe me one  D?

False! Larry's intake is every bit a quality piece! I spend way too much money on aftermarket parts and was very pleased with it in person. Same thing with SBLT500's pieces.....you should see the aluminum LT250 airbox he did.

Hey dez what I did was cut the front of airbox out took the Carb to air box boot to autozone and found a filter that fit snug in side the boot so my air filter just sits in the air box. I made a bracket that goes across the top of the filter to hold her down the air box delete I was going to make  sb makes  so for 70 buck ill probly pick one up from him. Any one know the filter size they run on the delete kit. Id like it to be the same size as the Carb to airbox boot.
