| No, not at all. The older bikes still have the intake duct through the frame, whereas the newer bikes dont have that and they have the hole in the front of the airbox by the gas filler neck. If you really wanted to, you could update the colored airbox cover to the newer design to have the hole in the front. It will bolt on to the older bike. | |

| There is also a post somewhere on here on how to open up an older airbox. I did it to mine and it made a huge difference (almost as much as adding the old Buell racekit). | |

| Does anyone know where I can get an open airbox lid other than at ASB? I would buy the one from ASB, but I dont need all the other crap to do the breather re-route since I already have done that. If there is nowhere else I can buy one would anyone with some more skill/equipment than I have be willing to make one for me? I have no problem paying someone from this site for the part. Thanks. | |

Do you need a TPS reset after doing this or anything else like that?
I already have the buell race ECU |

| I have an 05 XB12s. It has the intake duct in the frame. I can still perform this mod right? | |

| Instead of paying $100 for the kit, couldn't you just cut the top part of the existing airbox out, and use that for the top? | |

| Also, after completing the open air box conversion, should i remove the inner snorkel running through the frame? | |

I already have the buell race ECU The only time you need to do a TPS reset is when you install a different ECM or new throttle body on the bike, or if the previous TPS was done incorrectly. Period. Not required for intake or exhaust mods. |
