1 of 5 Mlm over the years Wednesday, March 4, 2020
taco eater : Edgar Massey from El Cajon, CA United States  
Seems to me quality has gone down, between miss packed items and now the mounting flange is completely bent... like i can see through the middle  when its bolted on the bike... its useless, its a super expensive piece of shit im pretty pissed off about this... thought mlm was good save your money and buy a welder and make your own, sent too much money and way too much time on this to get it to work... AGAIN THE INTAKE IS JUNK!

4 of 5 Minor file work needed Wednesday, December 20, 2017
taco eater : W FOwler from Buchanan, VA United States  
A couple things to look for: the mounting flange may be warped by the heat of welding, the weld may prevent the bolt from tightening onto the the flange.  The transition from tube to flange can also be smoothed out for better flow

5 of 5 Doesn't fit Wednesday, October 26, 2016
taco eater : Billy bob Thornton from Portsmouth, NH United States  
Doesn't fit an airsal 65cc kit. I was using on a 17 Bing. Need some shims. Doesn't fit the airsal cylinder so it really doesn't matter though. Maybe other kits are different.

edit treats: fits fine on airsal 65 and not designed for 17 bing - made for vm18 or phbg! yep yep

5 of 5 Works good like an intake should Friday, June 10, 2016
taco eater : Moped Maddie from Rochester, NY United States  
I picked this up for my hobbit as I wanted the carb outside the subframe for east tuning. Made my own little shim with a piece of bike inner tube to get a super tight grippy fit with my 21mm PHBG. No mods to the subframe are necessary and you have about 1-2inches of pedal clearance still. Hooray for no more unbolting the sunframe every time I mess with the carb.

4 of 5 not on treat 50 without nibbling Tuesday, August 26, 2014
taco eater : durty mcdribble  
so this don't bolt on to my treatz 50 cyl. but its ok cuz I was born with the ability to digest aluminium. im gonna have to nibble at my fins a little so it will fit and not have a massive space in between the intake and the hole. it would get 5 stars but im gonna have a tummy ache for like 30 minutes while the aluminium is breaking down into simple carbs

5 of 5 sturdy, minor frame modifications needed Tuesday, April 29, 2014
taco eater : eames from Santa Ana, CA United States  
hooked up to a hobbit.  on one of my frames there was more space compared to the other.

either way, i had to cut the left metal tab on the frame otherwise i think it could smack the vm18 once it was all hooked up (maybe-- 1mm clearance).  i only run stock size 280mm length shocks.

also had to bend up a tab on the subframe outta the way but you can do that with a pair of pliers.

clears pedals with the malossi filter that points upwards.

4 of 5 nice piece of metal Saturday, January 18, 2014
taco eater : tucker cameron from grand isle, VT United States  
Great quality! Shoots off to the side nicely.  I just wish they would make a square port version. That would be the cats ass. No more trying to turn the circle into a square!

5 of 5 Quality Intake Monday, July 29, 2013
taco eater : Ben Whittle from Minot, ND United States  
Both MLM intakes I own are of amazing quality. Very well made with clean welds.

This intake does not fit stock though! At least not on my Magnum XK cylinder. Bummer.

edit benji : magnum cylinders have different spacing for the intake! added info to listing. let me know if you want to return it!!!

4 of 5 fits to the vm18 carb fantastic ... Wednesday, November 21, 2012
taco eater : Brian Scarborough from coral springs, FL United States  
it came in the mail today - fits to the vm18 carb fantasticly.   nicely built piece -  sturdy and nice flat base on it.      
i was going to install it on my 72cc airsal puch kit - but it needs at least 1.25" of intake spacers to raise it up enough to clear the fins...   or it needs alot of fin hacking to get the carb and intake to clear.     lucky for me i have intake spacers a buddy made.

im going to keep it and run it - but i plan to cut off the base plate and re weld the intake back on with the base turned 45" so the carb will face back and nicely tucked next to the frame with plenty of pedal clearence..

bottom line = it will work  but be prepared to cut some fins depending on your kit.
