Sorry for the missing link! If you guys haven't looked yet, it's an airbox cutout cover that goes on your stock lid. Seems to address the problem of getting mud and dirt in the airbox with no lid, as well as the outerwears airbox cover issues with velcro peeling off. Just wondering what you guys thought. I've been thinking about running with no lid and rejetting but you never know if you'll be running in mud, dirt, sand, etc. here in Texas in the summer. The weather changes in the blink of an eye. Here's the link again. Thanks for your help Warrior350MegaMax! Unfortunately, that isn't the item I was talking about, but thanks for the help anyway.

I think you should get one a post back. It looks good to me. I already butchered my lid so I would have to purchase the complete kit or find another lid.

I don't have a part number for you, but Outerwears already makes a replacement for your entire lid. Remove your lid, apply velcro strips around the entire airbox rim and then the outerwear is made to fit the shape of your airbox. The lid is replaced with an outerwear, my buddies run these on their Ex's, and I know they make them for the Raptor. I personally have run without a lid for the last 6 months without a single problem. I ride dust, mud, water, you name it. I run the Pro-Design w/K&N and outerwear with small K&N for crankcase breather, thats it.

I have the Outerwears Airbox top on mine and it works great. You just need to be carefull when you remove the material so as not to pull off the velcro on the sides.

I know about the Outerwears replacement airbox lid covers. There are issues with the velcro pulling off of the airbox in hot weather, leaving it dangling on the airbox. I don't want to have to jack with that. Also, some guys have cut their stock airbox to leave just the rim to hold the outerwears cover on. That is an option too, but again I would want a spare lid just in case and it seems that the flat surface would allow stuff through if it sat there too long. I am sure that running with no lid is great, but I am just a little scared about having nothing to cover the filter at all. I'd rather err on the side of safer with a little less power than have the most power and possibly suck junk into the engine. This cover looks like a good compromise to me between the two. If I am a chicken about mud and dust, I can put the stocker back on. Also this one has a sloped surface where the outerwear is so if water gets on it, it should just slide off. That's the way I look at it anyway. I am sure that no lid is the best flow, but I just would worry with that set up and be pulling the seat off all the time to check it. I'm a freak that way! Just my opinion.
