2001Sheesmine Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Ok I took the cover off of my airbox and sent a screw through my k&n filter to the airbox to hold it in. Is there a kit that you can take the airbox completly off or should I just leave it how it is. Quote
Banshee~ Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 If you dont ride threw water I would go ahead and just get rid of the airbox. Quote
Bansh88 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Shitcan the airbox! Air filter and all. Then get 2 K&N pods and slap them straight onto the carbs. Much cleaner look Quote

2001Sheesmine Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Posted November 19, 2005 I dont know what happened to all the other replys Quote
Bansh88 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 I guess one will fall off if you install with bubble gum. Same chance of an A arm comming off. The filters weigh like 8 ounces. They are clamped onto the carbs. How the hell would one fall off? Same shit holds on a K&N inside the airbox. Quote

When you clamp them on really tighten them though and you never really have to worry about it. Quote
Gargamel Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 I didn't have them on my shee but I did have one wiggle off my street bike. To make sure it don't happen again I put a small bit of silicone around it put in on and let dry overnight. Haven't had one come off since. It's not the same as in the air box. The airbox is mounted to frame don't move much, the K&N's clamped to the carbs wiggle, bounce, vibrate a hell of alot more. Quote

Bansh88 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 Shit happens. Some things more than others. My friends have had wheels come off, a arms, handlebars, axlenuts, grips, lights, pipe clamps..... Quote
midnite Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 I've been using a pro flow and it's nice and all, but where I live the temps range from -10 to 100 degrees and I have to rejet 4 times a year {summer, winter, fall, spring}. It's a real pain in the ass to rejet with the proflow on. Lately I've been using k+n pods with wraps. Real simple to rejet the carbs. They are light as a feather, I can't see how one would fall or vibrate off unless the clamp wasn't tight enough, which is the fault of the installer, not the filter. Quote
Toybreaker Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 I run a K&n in the airbox with an outerwear on my banshee (gonna get the K&N airbox lid for it too.) I run a 39mm inlet 4inch by 6 inch K&N with a pantyhose prefilter on my 87 suzuki for the 39 PJ (the outerwear fell off and the pantyhose work great!) I also run a stock style K&N with a hacked up air box on my 85 Suzuki (no prefilter) Just for shits and grins i went from stock airbox and K&N to 5 inch clamp ons with outerwears at the drag strip and only gained .009 sec and .2 mph (cut a .516 on the tree too.) If you have airbox and K&N leave it be. If ease of maintenance is your primary worry get the clamp on's. Depends on the riding you are goin to do. What do you want? Quote
FasterThanU90 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 i have uni clamp ons and they were great ive never had any problems with em not EVEN close they stay snug all the time if in the worst of bashings they are great slip on and off with a simple turn of a screw just cant go through heavy water but thats what the other bikes for Quote
hittintrees srh Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) It might be rare, but Ive found a random pod laying in the sand once or twice. I have HUGE pods and mine seem to hang on just fine.. just camp em' on real tight. the stock carb pod is on the right, the other one is for my 36mm Lectrons. HELL YEA!!!
