Air box removal question
04/06/09 at 11:35:00
I just removed my battery box and intend to shift it back so the K&N fits better. I'm just removing the hidden airbox bolt/nut now. Where is the best place to put the black box from under the left side cover??

That above is where mine is at. One of many places, I've also seen it secured to a panel under the seat level with the two frame backbones.

I lengthened a few of the wires enough so that I could route them securely and safely inside of the frame supports.

I hope to avoid lengthening, but if it has to be done then it has to be done.
What is the long tube going from the airbox to the right side of the cylinder and what should I do with it now?

That's the vent tube going from the head to the air box. If you remove the air box put a small cone filter on the end of the tube and keep it above the carb for venting purposes. I got the filter at Advance for like $8.

I don't think anything has to be lengthened except maybe the ground cable. You might not even have to do that. Just personal preference. It allowed me to wrap all the wires in protective loom and tuck them nicely out of the way.

For now I have mine between the frame rails right under the seat. Down the line I hope to make a box that will hide all of the ugly "important" stuff.

you can use a inline fuel filter, get one for a law mower or ride on tractor.

Ed, fuel filter as air filter? Thinking about purchasing your forward controls for my ride next. Look for my PM, will be wanting shipping cost to get them to me.
Found an auto parts store that carry the smaller ones close to my house. Intend to call later today to c if in stock!

Ok, I've been to three spots and all are having a hard time finding the filter I need.
I measured the I.D. of the tube leaving the header and it's 7/16", where did everyone else find or get there little air filters????

Got mine at Autozone. It was on the wall with the Hi-Performance chrome parts. Some have suggested that you mount the breather higher than the engine so that it does not drip oil. I found it easier to mount mine lower, and it does drip a tiny bit over time, but I don't care. The Savage oil breather vent system is a mild puffer and will be restricted if you use a fuel filter.
