Versy ,the silicone tube may well be ok, but the tee is to large , it should be a reducing tee, 2"to the carb, but only 3/4 "to both filters, that would keep a steady velocity up in the entire intake, right now the incoming velocity is half or less as it enters the tee and is trying to play catch up as it moves down the hose. I would estimate that the total length of your intake from the valve to the ends of your tee to be about 20 " ,so your gaining boost in the 2nd ,3rd and 4th waves, at 10 ,7,and 4 % , but the large mass of air is hard to accelerate and you may not be actually be getting nearly those percentages . It may be better to shorten the intake to 13-15 inches (reducing air mass) and go to a single filter ,catching only the 3rd and 4th waves (7 & 4 %) but able to use them more fully.

Tank Mount Construction

You need to spacers that will fit in between the tank, rubbers and frame.
The spacers are made from 1" diameter aluminum rod.
One spacer will be drilled and tapped for 5/16 allen head bolts.
The other is a thru hole. the rubbers fit tight on the 5/16 bolts heads.
You'll need a short one and a long one that goes thru the spacer frame and halfway thru the threaded spacer.
Then figure how far back by turning full lock and place the tank on the frame.
You might have to space it up to have clearance for the wires.
Slip a spacer and rubber in between the frame and tank and mark the location on the frame.
Drill a hole thru the frame at that location and bolt the 2 spacers in place and place the rubbers on.
Ok, that takes care of the front.
For the back you'll make a plate that bolts into the stock tank locates and will locate 2 new holes centered on the tank mounting holes.
I used pressed in threaded inserts, but you can just tap the plate if it's thick enough.

With the resolution of the ignition problem, I'm back to the tubeless tire kick.

I've found a set of EN500 wheels that were reasonable and will fit the marauder forks/300mm disk configuration.
15x3 on the rear vs 15x2.75, stock tire is 140/90x15.
Had to use the entire assembly as the brake drum is larger and the damper is 4 lug rather than 6.
The pulley has the same number of teeth and should be compatible as it uses the same belt as the drive pulley we're using.
However, the belt seems tighter and requires the axle to be shifted forward.
The whole assembly is quite a bit wider than the savage, and I've removed about a 1/2" from the brake hub to center the rim with the frame.
This almost centers the pulley with the drive pulley, it's still off about an 1/8".
The brake hub will require a strut rather than engage the swingarm.

The pulley sticks out enough that the bolts on the pulley will hit the lower shock bolt head.
I think there's a substantial amount of material on the pulley spider and I'm thinking of removing some to get the pulleys to align.

Re: Versy's beast Reply #117 - 03/23/22 at 08:28:39 The first time I rode behind a shield I really liked not needing to hang on and fight the wind out on the big road. That size looks good, it's not big,shoving tons of air and distracting from the I mean Bidniss Look of the bike. I really like that setup.

Losing the tubes is about as good as it gets, and the wheels look factory. What sort of carbonator ya got on there? And is that a special header pipe?

The wheels are not bolt on... in case anyone's thinking about it.
Stock header and the carb is an Edelbrock quicksilver.
