I need a new air filter, so I was toying with ideas [pods verse whatever]
I came up with,,,,,,,1 take and throw the bottom of the air box [just onto the shelf]
2 slip down to Spotlight , grab some thick foam
3 cut into the old bird cage.
cut the foam & bird cage wire to the shape of the air box,,,,, one layer of wire between the box & foam , the other on top of the foam holding to the box. I used some light flat cut & drilled, to pick up the bolt holes, oil the foam there you have it Bobs your Uncle.
2 things I have found since the idea, the bike runs a tad lean so have lifted the needle slides 1 groove to stop the popping under decel, & have since added some gasket paper to the sides of the box , not sure whether to decrease the size of the intake or to interrupt air movement around the underneath, all extremely scientific NOT, like every thing just have a lash & see what happens------- well it happens alright,very well in fact....total cost $ 3.00 max
