Watch that reference to a very old man. I'm very old and mine doesn't dangle or dribble. Cheesy

I put on a K&N cone and therefore have no need for the air box. I took Gort's advice and put an oil breather on the end of the crankcase vent hose. Looks great! Thread on it a few days ago under either "air box" or "K&N" Go to the second page of "rubberside" and look for K&N. On page two of this thread, Gort explains the air box hose thingy. Check out the pic of his setup. Cool! Cool

OK, Here goes! Nothing naked 'cept my bike! Cheesy

I cut the Right side, front and top out the the air box. I had planned on removing it completely, but there is a hidden screw some where on the bottom. As it worked out, the way I did it, I can still mount the covers.

I mounted the rectifier in the air box on the back wall next to the pool table. Grin

I threw in a pic of my bike stripped. Hey, T Mack, recognize that muffler laying on the table? I installed it and got it running yesterday. That is one great sounding muffler. I live one mile from the local Harley dealer so I get to hear and see a lot of bikes.

And last but not least, The conversion.

You know, looking at it, it does dangle a bit. I haven't decieded to secure it horizontally or vertically. Any thoughts?

That's all folks!!

Anyone know Reply #26 - 12/16/09 at 07:17:58 The PO added a breather filter to my bike as well, but just used tie wraps. I don't think it looks bad at all. I just need to figure a way to reattach the side covers without the airbox being there.

My white ty rap was temp. You may be able to build some brackets out of light metal to hold the covers. Small L brackets to the frame?
