Air Filter
06/24/06 at 07:08:18
Mornin' All,
Just got the savage out of the shop yesterday after major work. Swapped "96" engine for '98' engine replaced wire harness new battery belt and oil change.I'm now wondering if anyone has done a side mounted cone type air filter and if so how it worked out. I'm thinking it would fit nicely beside the carb. Any thoughts? ???

I have seen such a filter (I have a pic of it on my wall) just can't remember where.

I have had contact a while back with a company (bike shop) in Charleston, SC that makes some of their own parts, and will make a 90 deg mounting adapter for the carb ... carb to engine ... so that the carb will be sticking out like a carb on a HD.
I just have not got around to getting a detailed deminsional drawing to them to have a prototype made (this would be a billet aluminum item).
It would be a very cool item for the Savage/S40, especially with an aftermarket carb.
It would also solve all of those filter space issues when swapping carbs

Does the carb need to be turned or could a 180 degree pipe be used with a filter atached at the end? I was thinking of a prototype made with 90 degree PVC couplers and pipe. I don't know how that many bends would effect air flow. I would think that with the filter exposed it would be little.

PVC will not handle the heat.

they would be a great look. I'am getting the amal mark II put and am taking the factory battery box out. then was thinking of building a bracket to move the battery box back to make alittle more room for carb and airfilter but it would be cool to move the carb out the side.
