Got my crf230f intake in. Dead on perfect fit. Angles match the Hawk/TT250 intake perfectly. It also has the exact same o-ring as the stock manifolds. The one in the first picture is actually from the tt250 intake i had on hand.
The imperfections.
1. As stated before, it needs to be ported. The opening on the flange where it meets the head is about 27mm. Luckily, since the same o-ring is used it can easilybe opened up to the same 30mm as the stock intake.
2. The rubber on the insulator needs to also be reshaped a little. This intake is deaigned for keihins offset carb bore, so a centered bore means the roof needs to be shaved beck a bit.
3. The socket end is for a 39 or 40mm o.d. carb. This means I have to either utilize my 32mm OKO carb, or get my hands on a genuine VM30 or similar carb. Not really a downside, but it does limit your carb selection to 30mm unless you pick up a crf230f carb. There is nothing wrong with said carb, it is a 26mm unit and more than adequate to support the Hawk. The downside is that those carbs can be a bit expensive.
