You will need the larger carb adapters that will fit on the larger carbs then mount to your stock airbox. I have some UPP adapters brand new if your interested. They are between 20 to 25 bucks for the pair, I'll sell mine for 10 plus shipping and they are still in the package brand new. I opted to go with the clamp on k and n's.

I suggest to stay away from clampons. If you ride in the wet, your tires throw shit right at them. My buddy has a toomey air filter set up and it magnets up every thing not just mud, even goin down a wet dirt road. Every hour or so he has to clean the filter cause it gets clogged with water or dirt them his plugs foul. There is no done with it its opening up a can of worms. Last night we quick fixed it with a piece of cardboard cause it was getting rediculos.

I myself run a air box no lid with a k&N an outerware and mine has no trouble staying clean an dry,unless I hit a massive puddle then the outerware gets drentched an kills the air intake.

70% of my riding is wet or muddy.

I run a 2:1 filter and never had a problem. Is he running a outerwear?

When I went to 34mm carbs I found that I lost a lot of clearence between the carbs and the stock airbox which made the carbs a nightmare to get on and off. This was due to a combo of larger(slightly longer) carbs, longer than stock bilit intake, and I think v-force added a caouple mm's to. I went with pod filters. I got foam filters for the dirt and K&N for the sand. Way nicer to work on now.

unless your running in the sand or dry dirt all the time, just get a pro flo foam kit, ditch the airbox lid and be done with it. For the amount more it'll flow, its not worth it, unless your dragging all the time or in the sand all the time. Now all we gotta do is get outerwears to make a skin for the pro flo uni foam

 

Werd. :cheers:  Suggest one of the water-resistant outerwears. B)
