So this would be my version of a cold air intake that would do better in the rain than a round uni. This is definately not a cold air intake, but hopefully a way to maximize air flow on the stock box.
Here is my second attempt at the custom uni in my stock air box. My first attempt involved a broken filter element from attempting to use a staple gun on my plastic filter.
I made a metal version of the filter element.
The inside view-
I used the metal backing from the original filter and attached it with fasteners.
I cut the two holes like bluefront did in the previous link.
I like the setup so far...it is quieter than a round uni filter but still has a slightly deeper tone than stock.
I will test it for a few hundred miles and see how the spark plug looks. My first plug read was not rich... but it was only after a few short rides.
Happy modding!

I do'nt know why everyone is so gung-ho about doing away with stock airboxes.They are engineered to work with these engines,and they not only remove particulate matter from the intake air,And keep it fairly dry, but they are also designed for "sound" they are tuned to keep noise down.If set up or modified properly,they can give you all the benefits of any Free flow filter without any of the problems inherent with them.Great job
