I have been thinking about making a deflector shield to keep water and mud from splashing the filter but havent done it yet. Still in the thinking stages.[/quote]

Isn't that what the airbox was for? J/K!

 

hehe, yeah I guess it is what it was there for. It was a pain getting the k&N out of the stock airbox though. And besides, it looks cooler now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i'm doing the same thing to my 'sport. ditched the airbox to accomodate a piggyback shock. not doing anything to the stock motor at this point, but i figure i'll hafta up the main a couple sizes, right? i'm gonna go with a foam filter w/ a wrap.

 

Good thinkin on uping the main. Better to be safe than sorry. Cant wait to see your project when it is done.

 

Man, I can tell a difference in the new filter. I didn't think there would be much if any since the old filter was K&N in the stock air box. It used to run a bit on the rich side, it seems to have leaned out a little now. Started first kick and idled really nice. It used to be more cold blooded and had to play with it to keep it going.
