intake filter retainer

The stock Motus air intake involves two snorkels that take air from around the head light and feed the K&N oiled filters. They also make great bug catchers.

The original headlight is gone on my bike, so a different filter retention is needed.

 The factory air scoops. These funnel air and bugs directly into the air filters.

 Air intakes off the bike. 


















K&N filters attached to the airbox without retainers. Time for some R&D.

 Taking the original scoop and some other dimensions came up with the prototype cover in orange.

The cover will be 3D printed in black with the logo insert laser cut from stainless steel. The insert 'floats' under the retainer.

 Damn close fit except for the corners by the mounting tabs.

 Tab modification is also in order

Research and Destruction...












Second revision of the retainer in black. 
This will be the final look for the retainer. The insert will be stainless steel laser cut.











Filter fits perfect and snug.













Test fitting...

Tabs will need some adjustment to fully cover the insert with bolts in place. Time for a third and maybe final revision.











The end look...starting to come together.

I like getting calls from my laser cutter...

Pretty close to the end product.
