    TwinAir Grommet woes

    by crf~rob » Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:02 pm

    I just got the twiniar for my bike and was attempting the install when I noticed that the opening for the bolt (in the rubber grommet) is much smaller than on the stock air filter. Is this common? When I put the filter around the cage, the extension tube kind of made the Twinair pop up like a tent. The stock screw does not seem long enough and I cant seem to set the screw to bolt it down in the airbox.

    Am I just clueless???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did call twinair and they are sending me an additional grommet, but if there is another solution, I would love to hear it.

    if I knew how to add pictures to my post I would post them for all to see

    Well, as for my last post where I asked "am I clueless", the answer is "yes"!
    Please disregard this question....I figured it out!

    Did you push the end of the cage into the grommet?

    I'm gonna buy the napalm screw on my next trip to Chaparral. Thanks to both of the "Smiths", Agent and Mister for your help =)

    Fits great now.,

    As an off topic question......has anyone heard/used/has an opinion of the PowerNow product by Scary Fast?

    I was wondering if the power gains make that a worthy purchase at just under $100.00

    The powernow seems like a bit of a waste IMO, reminds me of the tornado for vehicles.. Theres some hype of the hotcams stage 1 that cost a bit more but i'm sure you'll see more noticable gains through the bottom-mid range.
