appears to be for the t4. I wouldn't work with an airbox on a t3,I bet it's not cheap either

[jeswinehart]

yes, I would say he is putting a whole lotta love into those ! Very nice looking part indeed.
I made a mold of a nice T-4 intake about 3 years ago and pulled quite a few from that mold. At least that's what I was told it was for. I advertised them as such after getting the fella his oem one back along with a reproduction and sold a rather sizable # of them for 60 dollars shipped.

Since I am not a quad type of guy, I never did understand what the idea was about those fins sticking down in the reed cage area ~ anybody know what those fin things are about ?

They are called reed stuffers, and they actually increase air velocity through the reed cage and reeds.

john Is that mold still around john? I happen to be working on a t4

[jeswinehart]

No, it sure ain't Ben.

He says its for the T-3 . Its a 1/2 inch longer than oem.And it will work with the stock airbox. He had a guy test it. When I get more info I will post it.

john That is not only a K-wad thing. Some other trikes use those diverter fins also to increase velocity to the reeds.

I have a 91 cr 250 intake and reed set and it has the stuffers like above.

just give me a shout ben if you end up having to replace yours. This one is the last I have and is just sitting in the display cabinet for my own amusement.
Now my other Kawasaki intake boot molds for 84/85 + 86+87 are still kicking parts out to build stock.
