Just remove the entire top cover and snorkel assemby, and remount the CDI to the frame rail with a zip tie.

Another option is to cut the large portion out of the lid and then you don't have to remount the CDI. Whoever did mine also put some window screen across the top of the lid to keep out any larger stuff.

mine runs great with just the snorkle removed...i tried it with the whole lid removed once & all that seemed to do was make it sound a lot louder on full throttle.

you have to jet your bike to get the full performance, even with the airbox and snorkel, the bike is jetted rich from factory.

I trimmed the crap out of my lid and made it so I can use pantyhose stretched over it as a prefilter if need be.

This works great also
Plus my filter stays much cleaner for much longer

What are those?

they are little pop in filters.I forget the name of them but they work pretty wellCoop wrote:What are those?
In hindsight I would just have pulled the lid and re jetted vs cutting it,I ended up buying a extra lid for when I clean my bike to seal the box from water and debris etc.
On a side note I mounted my cdi thing to the inside of the air box,I was nervous attaching it to the frame on my e series due to the way the bike vibrates and to protect it from the elements.

Thanks rbates! I searched for twenty minutes and gave up. I was calling them a filter, not a vent. Guess that's why LOL. I just made an order for jets and fork bleeders, if I had known about these I would have added them to the order.

Sometimes just figuring out what to call something is the biggest challenge.Coop wrote:Thanks rbates! I searched for twenty minutes and gave up. I was calling them a filter, not a vent.

Some days I get my thread subscriptions and some days I don't
I like those vents. They each have a little foam filter that I oil with filter oil

Yeah I think I am going to get some of those. I like the idea of not just having an open airbox. I have done it in the past but wouldn't mind trying those vents. I ordered a variety of new jets and I'd like to do some type of airbox mod before I start jetting changes. I can't afford any major performance work this year so I am just trying to get the bike running as cleanly as I can on my tight budget.
