wild foamy Posted September 20, 2008 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 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
