I just dont get a break .. :cry: the 92 carbs fit right in ( after i put the correct intake in the right place ) but the swell deal K&N air filters will not fit . No room between the carb and frame left and right :cry: . Anyone have a 97~2000 Suzuki 1200 Bandit they want to switch over to K&N's :up: back to ebay and looking at these MR-009 http://www.ebay.com/itm/350631548404?ss ... 1438.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; just twice as much as i paid for the K&N's :shock:

I am having a real hard time finding a filter set that will fit up to the 60mm carb opening and also fit the frame confines .. 2 different sets now and they will not fit :cry:

Thanks.... but the problem i am having is the carb intake is 60mm and as you have seen the rack of slingshot carbs are close together so it really needs a oval / offset filter that has to fit between the intake and the frame . Something like this but these are 51 mm id http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-K-N-Air-Fil ... 85&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Well one more try to get something that will fit in , i have ordered just 1 of these http://autoplicity.com/products/406516- ... 4AodSFoASg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to see if the bend in the mount will clear the frame left and right and if it does get a second and then maybe 2 straight the same size for the 2 middle carbs . Yall wish me luck i think i need it :cry:

Absolutely insane the amount of trouble these carbs/filters are giving you. It'll all be worth it though once the bike's thrashing the Dragon. Best of luck to you sir.

I know :? if i would have known the troubles these 92 carbs have caused me i might have searched for a set of stock carbs and moved on . I have a hard time believing no one had any advice on the Oil Cooled GSXR forum as to what works .. someone must have combined the parts before me ?

Dave,

Would it help to attach some sort of hose to bring the filter location back to clear the frame rails? Or perhaps make up an airbox with a single large capacity filter in it/on it.

We are thinking the same thing Richard , i am going to have to make up a aluminum air box and get some 60mm silicone tube to attach it to the carbs .

Silly question I expect but is it possible to make a stock airbox work with those carbs and different connector hoses? Maybe a combo of GSXR early and late or something equally Frankenstein?

Here's a 1200 Bandit air box that should :roll: fit right up to the 92 carbs but the space behind the engine where the Bandit box fits is filled with frame on the GSXR . http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-Suzuki-Bandi ... 0910141%26" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; 1200 Bandit carbs are the same http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-97-98-99 ... 36&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
