How deep do you have to get in the water before you really need a snorkel? Not sure if I need one and don't want to install something unecessarily.

Well since you have a belt driven bike I would suggest one if you go up to the seat alot.The bad thing is you have to have 3 snorkels and on top of that you will need to rerun all your vent tubes up to.Its not as bad as you would think it is to snorkel one,just try and keep as less bends as possible in the intake snorkel so it wont affect your jetting.

Just heard people on Highlifter.com talking about them. Everybody seemed to be happy, never heard any complaints.

That sucker does look good. I like the idea of rubber connectors on em in case you roll it, they don't break off.

hahahaha, Ya'll are killing me. I sold the brute and bought the rhino. The snorkels really turned out nice though.

Here is a before pic. That is why it got snorkeled.

We built the snorkels. But I am not sure how cost effective it was. By the time I bought the didamond plate, and a new saw, I could have just ordered one. But I didn't want the pipes on the sides. In the middle they don't get hung up on limbs.

It was taken In Feb I think at a charity ride in Alabama. It was cold as hell that day. Rained most of the day and was around 40 degrees outside. Not a fun ride.

Has anyone ever heard of ATV Snorkels by: Triangle ATV I saw it on a google search. It is a pretty neat site. They have snorkle kits.

You can also, do Spa Hose, which you can buy at Lowes by the foot, and shop vac hose, but you have to tape it up, so it gets stonger, and cause it will eventually crack, BUT if you tape it, it won't, I'm about to snork my bike with spa hose...
