Hey,
You've got to have sense of humor...
When you said,"I wanna get rid of the air box anyway", well, I had visions of the crustyazzdusty filters from hell that've come outta my bike.
That's all.
I've seen the guys at Kawi just throw them away sometimes because they're just too ugly to clean. You know, the kind of "Dirty" that makes your bike run like a KLX110
