Get yourself an airbox delete and a breather re-route and you will be happy with the results..
Well got home from a ride today and decided to tear into my airbox. Ripped out the little intake tube they put in the frame which opened the intake about about 50% or more. noticeable difference when I took it out to test it. Now the next thing is to either cut the whole ahirbox cover down just so it covers the K&N filter or cut several intake holes in the cover itself.

the goal is not only to get more air in, but to get more cool air in...
yep. what they said!
not to jack your thread... i just got done with my box.

i'm not sure that this did anything other than create more noise. performance wise.. eh!? i think opening up the outer cover in someway will definitely get more air in there.
When I installed my open air box, the throttle response was much better. There was a increase in noise, and it also seemed to help with that off the line hiccup.
does anyone know if you can retrofit the intake from the new airbox covers to the 03 lightning cover, I don’t want to change the color of the plastics just add the intake. the more air the better! lefox, in Colorado in October all air is cold air!
Yes, the newer airbox covers will retrofit.
I am talking about the piece that is black or gray around the gas cap, not the whole cover, on the 03-05 it is just black plastic but on the 06+ they have an air intake. are the covers available as 2 parts or do I need to wait to find one to experiment with?
