| 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. | | |  | Jun 22nd, 06, 09:22 PM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Florida

| 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. | | |  | Jun 22nd, 06, 09:40 PM | | Mudpuddlin' Darlin' STAFF Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: AR

| That sucker does look good. I like the idea of rubber connectors on em in case you roll it, they don't break off. | | |  | Jul 21st, 06, 12:31 PM | | Hi! STAFF Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Lower Arkansas

| 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. | | |  | Aug 20th, 06, 11:42 AM | | Mudpuddlin' Darlin' STAFF Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: AR

| 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. | | |  | Aug 20th, 06, 01:28 PM | | Mudpuddlin' Darlin' STAFF Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: AR

| 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... | | |  | |
