Hey thanks for the pointer I will take a look for those air tubes. :)
It will be at least 10 days before I will have a chance to look at the bike but I’ll be sure to give some feedback on them. Also one of my friends suggested that the top of the air box may be put on backwards. The inlet is pointing to the rear, and since I bought the bike used I really don’t know if its pointing in the wrong direction. Same friend suggested drilling holes in the side of the box but I am hesitant to do that_if the manufacturer wanted holes there they would be there already. Has anyone ever drilled extra holes in to a air box with favorable results?
