By the way, I've seen various discussions about adding Norman Hyde Bellmouth, or hacking a Polaris snowmobile intake (cut in half) that apparently fits. I noticed on BikeBandit.com they have very nice section of OEM parts by schematic. Under America, they have "Airbox"... and you can apparently order the "Air Intake Cover" only, for $6.18. This should be the cover with the 3 screws to hold down the air filter, but with the air intake "nozzle" that sticks up, and hopefully also the long "pipe" that runs down inside (or that can easily be cut off). This way you can put a cheap "bellomouth" on while still retaining the stock setup in case ever needed.

I'll order and see what I get.

I see what you are writing now. Order a spare part to modify for use with the POLARIS INLET,PLENUM Item #5410834. Clicking this link will show what the bellmouth looks like on a Bonneville airbox Intake Cover and if one performs the rounding out of the intake cover hole a bit as discussed therein, I see why the intake cover could not be returned back to stock. Thus the spare part.

I noticed that the Norman Hyde bellmouths come in two configurations: HBK153 for the 360's, and for the Americas and Speedies: HBK353. Don't know the difference but would guess a difference in the height of the bellmouth. Can anyone clue me in on the need for two part numbers?
