Reply With QuoteSweet! Thanks for the 'do-it-yourself' airbox mod. It's too cold to ride my Buell now, so I think I'm going to spend the winter adding mods and playing with tools in the garage.
I have recently purchased an airbox and rear seat cowel that I will be venting and adding some screen that I bought from Home Depot. Instruction and pics comming soon!

I wish I had my own garage. My bike is in a friends garage 5 miles away. I don't want to rip my bike apart in someone else's garage, especially one that they use every day.
By changing the air intake do you have to do any other adjustments?
where is the info on the "do-it-yourself" air box mod...i am interested in doing that as well to mine.
With work and school, I have not had the time to complete the project. Hang in there guys, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I will get it done soon!
I had a buddy buy the air box conversion from ASB for his XB12, and I took off with that design for my air box.
1) All I did was cut the factory air box up, leaving only the lip that actually sits on the filter itself.
2) Then I took a piece of aluminum sheet and traced the shape of the filter, both inside and outside.
Now this is the time consuming part
3) Cut along the lines that you traced both inside and out. Get the outside to fit around the the top of the filter flush (for looks). Cut and grind, and cut and grind some more until you get the inside to fit inside the grove of the factory lid that you cut off.
4) Go to the hardware store and find the appropriate hardware, to hold everything in place. I have the actual list from ASB at home that I can get and list up.

Come on, update us with some pics or a diagram or something. We're a bunch of dummys!!!
OK, I am working with some fiberglass on a spare tail section I have, i will attempt and include pis on the air box soon!
