Air Filter
mikesmith:
If you drop your bike in a creek you can squeeze out the water from a foam filter,not a K&N.

i wanna get rid of the air box any way. some high velocity swinging gets the water out. i try and stay out of the water as much as possible i have seen too many cracked cases from things like that.
teamgreen500:
LMAO! :lol: Are you serious? Somebody's GOT to be pulling my chain!
Get rid of the Air-Box and run a K&N Gauze?
LMFAO!
:P
As for water...go talk to Rick...he hasn't cracked a case yet and I've had a couple of neat "Under-Water" experiences during "Spring" races up here!

I wont laugh,but you know with out an air box your K&N filter will be covered with so much dirt it will breath less air than the stock set up and I would think it would be easier to suck dirt or foul a plug with that set up.

im talking three wall not completly gone. i know that with nothing at all it would pick up more crap than you could imagine. i want to make some sort of shroud to protect it form every thing coming off the rear tire. when i finish i'll take some pictures and show you what i'm talking about. every one is intitled to there own opinion so laugh if you wanna you'll get the picture when its done. oh and why doesn't my signature show up on my messagesi have it selected.
