Air box drain

if you don't got one you don't need it.

Why not mount the filter right on the carb?

This air filter won't mount on directly on the carb without relocating the battery and tool box, which would take some drilling/cutting/welding, so I just threw it on the carb boot for the time being... thanks to Motobudha for the tips too

Can someone give me parts # for best freeflowing aftermarket cone or pancake air filter?
Thanks

So you mean just tuck them back and up?

Do you know any good fitting crankcase breather filters off hand, maybe something I can pick up at Advance Auto or locally? I'm sick of having to order everything aha...

The only two reasons I'd say you should tuck those back up is because that is the way stock is and that by doing so you allow any fuel spat out by them more of a chance to run back in the carb rather than all over everything else, though I doubt that is a common occurrence.

I picked up a breather filter at Advanced Auto for around $9. I had to buy a little adapter (which amounts to a hard and hollow plastic tube, i.e. a pen   ) to mount the filter into the end of the breather hose (which was <$1) and I used two hose clamps to secure it.

EDIT: Keep in mind that the breather filter may very well end up spitting engine discharge out, so you might want to consider routing it in such a way to minimize stuff dripping out all over your bike. The right side of my bike is considerably more dirty because of this.

Here's how mine was mounted by the PO. I have since swapped the air filter setup that he did for a simple cone mounted on the carb and like it better. The breather is still unchanged though.
