Would it be possible to mount a large diameter tube of some sort, or just the boost chamber near vertical off of the intake manifold? In theory this would stop the condensed fuel from building up, and the issue of hose length. Also I am looking at purchasing a 48cc bike from the people at Spooky Tooth and was wondering if it is better to break in the bike before I change the air box to a K&N style filter, and or add a boost chamber? I'm thinking of getting the prefabed intake and designing a boost take of my own.

I'm new to the site and it is a freaking awesome site. I have found more info here today than I have in the last month of doing research. Keep it up.

glad to have you with us drummer. we do have some awesome people. i am by know means an expert and lots of others here with more knowledge then me but from personal experience if this is your first motor bicycle i would get it together stock and run it a little before making any changes. reason i say this is their is lots of little bugs to work out on them. nothing major usually. just things like chain tension, possible carburetor leaking all things that can be fixed pretty fast. i think first having it run good then do modifications so you can really see the results of your modifications. as far as boost bottle being mounted vertical if you have room you bet. i have seen them mounted on the seat post. the little pit of tube used to go from the manifold to the bottle i really don't think makes that much difference. i know on my bike their is not room to mount it vertical.

Spooky Tooth is a good choice. It sounds like you have a plan. Good luck with your build and welcome!

I appreciate that Norm, but I have yet to acquire a bike yet. If I get one here in the near future I will hit you up on that offer.

OK I got 2 of them just let me know. They are home made out of steel. So they will not melt. unless the whole bike is on fire and then they should just get red hot.

Good to know. Speaking of melting, when I get my bike I was going to try to build and tune one out of PVC or something. Anything that was small and compact but the right size that would just sit vertical on the intake.
