Wanting to remove my air box.

Hi I am new to R3 owners and am hoping i can get some guidance with this project, I have :
2005 Rocket, power commander, Jardine pipes. I just picked up 4 of the 5 K&N filters from a salvage missing the crankcase vent. Can anybody confirm a K&N part number? I really would appreciate any advice on relocation of air sensor and where to get or how to fabricate any clamps, hardware, tools that will help me get my need for performance satisfied. Pictures? I love them.

You mention K&N filters....which ones have you got...maybe photos. I am assuming they could be pod filters?
The ramair system is great but would make your pod filters no good to you. The advantages of the Ramair, besides providing excellent air induction, is as mentioned above, a small filter is included for the crankcase breather and also an extension lead to relocate the air intake sensor...also a clamp which you will need.
As far as gutting the air system and installing the new ramair, there is an excellent youtube video showing how. I recommend watching this all the way thru and then when you start, you can pause the video...do that bit...start the video...pause...etc, etc....
Good luck.

I have the recommended K&N pod filters ( 2780 ) and the air temp sensor filter with a sensor already in it. So just wanting a proper crankcase breather filter and a little help with a good way to mount it plus a couple other clamp ideas. I think I can end up under $100 for parts which allows me to splurge on the Tune. I have a great guy lined up for that.

OK so you got most of it so don't read to much into it. You have the 2780's hopefully with the hose clamps. As for the air temp filter location it depends on if you still have the expansion tank on her or not. some people more or ad a different one to allow for more air flow. Mine is relocated so I have my filter hung here with a zip tie

if you still have the expansion tank then I would hang it in between #1 and #2 throttle bodies. below is a picture I grabbed from this site the yellow X is where this feller has it mounted and The arrow is where I would look at mounting it. keep in mind air flow to it both slow and high speeds.

Now you can go the K&N route on the crank case filter in which you will remove the double 90 degree rubber crank case vent hose and wrestle the filter onto the nipple. or you can cut the double 90 into a single add a piece of 1/2 inch copper pipe and run down to the local auto parts store and buy a filter to go on the pipe. (you can also use the K&N this way) this makes it easier to remove and clean the filter periodically and it is hidden behind the infill panel either way.
