removing airbox
mg82:
i got some 1 3/4" I.D. gates straight radiator hose that i'm gonna use between the carb and the filter. probably need some sort of flange from hose to filter to make a f\m union.i might tear into it tonight and see what i can come up with as far as how big of a filter i can cram in there. i am gonna tear the whole motor down so i won't be able to test just yet but i will get an idea an let you guys know

took a look at it tonight and got it all apart. i would have to find something that would make that bend around the shock and stuff the filter up under the seat. also have to make a bracket for the mud flap.

I used UNI Filter pods on my Ducati. They are foam material like filters on dirt bikes, I've been meaning to try these out on my KX 500 hillclimber.

Definately, I like those also. They have some smaller ones but the bigger ones like in the pictures have more surface area and would last a bit longer between cleanings. Did those have a mesh cage inside to keep them from caving in under air velocity load?

A must also. Most quad airbox removal conversions will put a steel/aluminum velocity tube from the carb up under the seat to the cone filter to help remove the air turbulance at the mouth of the carb. Good call Cam.

They do come with a spring like cage.
