Airbox or no Airbox

[2001Sheesmine]

Ok I took the cover off of my airbox and sent a screw through my k&n filter to the airbox to hold it in. Is there a kit that you can take the airbox completly off or should I just leave it how it is.

Most people that want to remove the airbox take it completely out. Then attach some K&N's directly to your carbs. Be sure not to cut the part that attaches the over flow because you will need that. Someone makes a cool aftermarket holder for your overflow but I forgot where I got mine.

Dual K &N pods hook right up to the carbs. A pro design filter plate bolts right onto your airbox and you clamp a filter onto that. Toomey also makes a 2 into 1 filter that bolts onto the carbs.

I cant find anyone that just sells the plate or adaptor that hooks right to my carbs. I dont want to buy both the plate and filter since I already have a k&n. Anyone know where I can just get that piece? It doesnt have to be billit.

if you dont ride in any type of wet conditions id toss that air box get some clamp on k&n and outerwares make sure you got you got the proper jetting go to rocky mountain for the over flow bracket

I already ride with the cover off. Will I notice a difference if I take the whole box off?

Yes, if you upgrade to a better filter setup.

yes there is a difference, mine came with no box, the guy just hacksawed the rear portion of the box off so he can still mount the overflow tank..also shields a little mud from getting on the filter, if you ride through puddles or wet roads you'll have to clean that filter once a day minimum...if you ride dunes or only when it's dry out then go for it, you'll see a slight increase in power(i did), i bought another 20.00 box from a member on here and put that on during the winter months(lucky me, 8 months of rain a year in the PNW), have fun whatever you decide, and remember to do a plug chop after you remove the box, it might be running a little lean

I just went from stock air filter/box setup to dual K&N Pod filters and DAMN! Huge difference there. I had my jetting almost spot on by just guessing when I did it. Ended up going up 4 sizes on mains, and richer 2 clips on needle, need to lean that out one clip and will have it right on.
