trialtrial Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I am just finishing up my restoration of my TLR200 reflex. Since I am not using the stock air filter - I am using the carb and uni filter from mid-atlantic trials, I need some type of mud flap/guard for the area between the stock mud guard, down to the swing arm. I am curious - have others encountered this? What did you do? I suppose I could just get some rubber sheet and put it in with quick ties...

lineaway Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 You need to make an air box. Using just an air filter has never been a good practice on any bike used off road. You could always use the stock box, and custom make a filter for the top of the box to get more air flow than stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashplate Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 MMMmmmm, I use a UNI FILTER on my TLR200 ....no airbox, runs a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollox Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 With a little work you can adapt an Uni-Filter or a K&N in the stock airbox. This increases airflow without having disadvantages with wet or muddy conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) That`s funny as K&N actually made a filter for the reflex. The xr 100 will also fit. To get real air flow cut the top of the air box using a current filter. Say, a Sherco filter off a 2008. Not running an air box is just silly on a trials bike. Fair weathered riding?

axulsuv Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I removed the intake silencer (top of stock airbox ) and used a portion of a old tore up K&N to shelter the now much larger airbox inlet . And the K&N made for the reflex ... And so far no carolina mud has made it all they way into the airbox , and it has been under water/mud .

rubrto Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I made a template of cardboard that fit just inside the frame tubes and around the exhaust pipe. On my way to the truck stop to purchase a flat fiberglass reinforced mud flap for a tractor/trailer, I noticed one lying in a ditch. I shaped it with a band saw and drilled holes around the perimeter so that I could secure it with safety wire. The area closest to the pipe smoked and stunk for a little while at first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
