I was just going to buy one of those from wemoto lol.
Yeah could get rid of the box altogether. But to be fair mate you're better off with the box. Air intake is pretty simple. The only real thing you gain is induction noise.
Great crack. Would have to jet correctly anyway.
Best thing you can do is to take that stupid bottle off the carb boot. Thats carb to air box piece of rubber. The newer bikes bave a bottle on there. Take that off and block it off with a coke can and a jubilee clip.
