Ha, great minds think alike. I thinking of cutting out the Buell logo too, but was apprehensive because of the rain issue. Thanks for the heads up on the prefilter, would have never thought of that!
So are you running just a standard K&N cone filter on the stack?

Great job! Cant wait to see it on the bike.

Yea its a K&N on a stock set up. Just a warning - if your going to cut it out the intake is not centered so you will see the servo and the relief for the filter on the right side and it will not match the left.

You can see it in this pic

this is the other side without the inner box opened up yet.

Thanks Gator, So you found a prefilter to go over the stock filter? Do you know which one you used?
I dont ride in the rain, but you never know when a shower will pop up suddenly.

I was going to go with a airbox mod to eliminate the inner airbox and servo anyway. I am just waiting for my race ECM to come in(today Hopefully!). Then I can start modding the airbox. I have a Jardine, just got it friday, so I dont want to mod the airbox till I get the race ecm.

I wonder if a regular cone K&N filter could be used rather then the stock one? Can anyone chime in on this?

When do you think you will have your setup done? Cant wait to see pics of the completed bike.

No, I could not find one to fit the Buell filter so I cut out 2 large rectangles and glued them to the wire mesh thats under the openings.

Iv never seen a cone but if you can get one to fit I guess it would work.

Im waiting on the front tire to put the bike back together, its on back order and the bike shop said 2 weeks as of last Friday. Seems there is a shortage of Michelin Pilot Road 2 front tires. Im getting the back tire mounted tomorrow and I still need to repaint the mirrors and the air scoop.
