wild foamy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 hi everyone my chrome air filter arrived today but i cant get enough clearance to fit it between the carb and the original airbox, is there any way i can remove the filter part of the airbox but leave the rest intact so i still have somewere to mount the battery to? i think i may end up having to dremel the front of the airbox, but is there a way to remove it intact?

wild foamy Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 as far as running gear is concerned, its running a Bigone exhaust and expansion chamber, a 12t front sprocket and a 46t rear sprocket cosmetically, its got an aftermarket nosecone/headlight for better night driving, aftermarket indicators, custom grips and renthal handlebars i cant unbolt the airbox and remove it because the battery slots into the opposite side of the airbox, so if i remove the airbox i have nowere to put the battery. the cone filter will fit straight onto the carb easily, its just a matter of getting the clearence between the carb opening and the airbox. i may end up cutting out the front of the airbox to fit the filter and leaving the rest in to hold the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
