That sucks!! I checked and didn't see a single one one eBay right now. Maybe you can get a stock intake to fit with some persuasion?

I just had to bite the bullet....Originally Posted by nicker71
there was a DG intake on ebay and it was without a doubt up there $$$ wise but after a little bit of haggling i ended up coming to a deal with the seller. I still paid a tad bit more than i was willing to spend tho. But at least i was able to get my hands on an intake that will work! lol and its half the thickness if not more than the helm and son. Looks like the helm and son intake and boost bottle are going up for sale in the Classifieds!.

Chris, Chris, Chris...That guy was asking wayyy too much for that intake and that boot wasn't even good..you didn't even look at the chariot intakes did you???
$80. Shipped. And it came with 2 sets of bolts, gaskets, and the boot is carb specific..I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that DG one was pretty cool tho...

Rest assured Justin I did NOT pay his asking price. I would be lieing if i said i looked at the chariot intakesIf i had i prob would bought one of them.... Tho The chariot intake you posted is without a doubt not as large as the helm and son i have it still will come out a bit far from the cylinder when installed tho i bet i would have taken the chance on it anyways. At least with the DG intake it is nice and skinny which is what i need. You have to keep in mind that the mossbarger Reed cage has that 3/8 inch spacer so that takes up some much needed space also. I guess some times ya win some and ya loose some.... Ughhh lol.

Lol...no worries man..just tryin to hook you up..I like how we're both in like the same exact spot in our builds..I just picked up the head and cylinder from the powdercoaters today then picked up the fixed and painted gas tank from the shop..I'm a 38mm pwk air striker cap and cable adjuster away from an extreme makeover....here's a couple recent pics..two things..the red looks really bright cause the sun was beamin on it and the intake setups missing the spacer otherwise will be the exact same..not to hijack your thread..

The DG intake worked out great! everything fit like a glove Now i just need to wait for the new carb boot since this one has a wicked tear in it (should be in on Monday). One Major step forward.... Not to many steps left. The throttle cable could be a little bit tight tho but i will be dealing with that within the next couple days or so.

I had to run one on my 300R because the stock book just wouldnt accept the 39pwk i had. anyways, looking great man keep it up! Summer's coming and it will be time to ride!

Jason: I did have my eye out for an FL350 boot but I did not see one for sale.
Have been doing some work on the 300 the past couple days especially with the throttle cable, It does fit between the down tube of the frame when installed but it presses the carb down a bit, Now what i was thinking in order to free up a little bit of room between the carb and down tube is to cut off 1/16th - 1/8 of an inch of the throttle cable tube that goes into the carb which would intern lower the tube and would no longer come into contact with the down tube of the frame. then just adjust the cable up at the thumb throttle to make up for the section of tube i would cut out on the carburetor side.
What do you guys think???
With the throttle cable installed now it makes the carb sit in the intake boot in a way that i dont really like, I maybe just being anal at the moment but i dont like how the intake boot is over the little block on the carb, dont want any air leaks....
Here is without the throttle cable installed
Then here it is with the intake installed, The throttle cable being pressed against the frame is tilting the carb forward into the intake boot.
I was about to trim 1/16th - 1/8th inch off the bottom of the metal bend piece a bit that goes into the carb this afternoon but i just wanted to post my thoughts up and see what you guys thought on the subject. Other than the throttle cable situation i got the clutch cable and Sunline clutch lever all hooked up and started taking measurements and such to make a carb boot to go from the carb to the intake box. Its getting close!! tho i hear that we are going to have ANOTHER snow storm next week!...... i want spring! lol.

Here is a pic of the cable end / metal piece i would like to cut down 1/16-1/8" inch to free up some room between the top of the carb / throttle cable and the down tube of the frame.

I think your idea will work, and obviously you want to be super careful not to cut the cable. The only concern would be running out of adjustment on the other end, so you'll have to decide if you have enough threads to spare. The amount you remove will directly correlate to the amount of adjustment you will have to sacrifice.
Cut only what is necessary if you go this route!

I was thinking about your issue a little bit more and then it hit me, what if you remove your reed spacer? This will move your carb closer to the engine giving more space for your hoses and more room for your cable.
