Has anyone tried fitting their machine with a snorkel?

Has anyone tried fitting their machine with a snorkel?

are you asking for the airbox or for the belt drive ? i have looked many times at that airbox and would love to do it...but without it looking really goofy ( at least that is my opinion) it would not be possable..

as far as the belt drive.... i am doing mine this weekend ..about half done now...only really plan on doing the front intake.....i have taken my wolvy swimming with me a couple times. and for me it seems to be the belt drive that takes all the water in...only had water in my airbox once....

i have taken a few pictures and will take more as i am done and post if you like...would love to see others people have done too..

Snorkel

I'm not too concerned how it looks, (can't look any worse than broken fenders and streched plastic ) just worried about drowning the bugger !

I built snorkels for my wolvy last week and tested them out over last weekend. Everything worked great, no problems or leaks. I had water right up to the handlebars with no problem. I used 2" exhaust hose and pvc fittings. I'll post some pic's as soon as I can.

hey i made i home mad snorkel kit that totaly 100% water proof. i can drive into water over my handle bars where you cant see my quade anymore, all you see is the snorkel kit. i stop there at ideal for 2 min to see if it would die and did not so i kept going where i cant touch bottom anymore so i catwalk to gain extra height and made it to over 5 ft deep before the quade fliped on me as it became to light and lost control. if you guys want to see pics email me at [email protected] and then i got your email and will send you pics its very easy to do.

I understand what you mean about the plastic (cracked mine on the first ride with a 1/2 " stick). Fully snorkeled mine airbox is tricky

Not to sound like i own a cape and tights but I had mine in the river last year, my knees were on the seat and getting wet and the current moved the front end, so i was definitely floating in the front... not a hiccup. No slip in the belt no studdering in the engine (though kept a decent flow through the exhaust) Seems like a good idea 6 beers later on the shore, until it happens and your eyes are as big as dinner plates :shock: and your hands are shaking. Like I said, Information's sake :idea: , its not pride.
