ok heres the deal i have an aircooled 250r (1983) and i want to get a boyesen rad valve for it. im going to order the one for the trx250/atc250r. now form the picyures ive seen of the rad valve for the 250r it seems to have a curve on the intake where you attach the rubber boot. im afraid that with the angle that the carb mounts to the valve that either i wont be able to line it up with the airbox. also if i remove the airbox and use a clamp on filter with the angle of the intake tube will the carb and filter hit the frame??? anyone familiar with this setup ? please help i want to order but dont want a part thats not gonna fit then have the hassle of trying to return the part. or having to re sell it

a measuring tape, i think, would go quite a long ways in this situation. :)

very true i can measure but how will i know how much space i need if i dont have the rad valve? im trying to find out from someone who may have already installed one on an airfooler to see what all was needed to make this work
