If the Women Don't Find Ya Handsome - They Should At Least Find Ya Handy!!!

[1olbull]

A simple little fix that I reckoned someone may find useful . . .

I dove into my tool box (old air filter box) to clean & prep for the season riding.
I found the baggie cover I had placed over the oval hole at the top to keep out grime had torn.
Using the OEM 90° rubber that originally connected there, I made a wooden plug to fit the other end.

Sink the plug deep into the opening because you will need clearance for a sensor that sits just forward of it.

I used a strap clamp from the plastic intake to secure the wood plug.
It was necessary to use some side cutters to trim the rubber ridge in order to position the clamp inboard of the ridge.

Some WD40 on the air boxend will facilitate positioning it back into the air box.
Cut some foam to carpet the flor of the air box and you are good to go!

Please send that over to me so I can get a better look, I promise to return it at some point.

Carpenter ants could be a problem, on the other hand, it could attract beavers

Nice I tossed mine and installed a baffled oil catch can in the rear area under the tank. Not a bad idea though.

I don't understand why this is necesary

I don't understand why this is necesary

few reasons, to stop all yucky stuff from the engine getting into your keep-sakes, stopping the heat from the engine roasting your arse.

Good idea!

I have the wiring from my @DEcosse keyless ignition running through there. Also thinking of putting the catch can in the old airbox also. Since the Corbin Dual Tour seat bolts on, the airbox is not an option as a toolbox unless I keep an allen wrench somewhere else on the bike.

I may try some dense foam to seal it up some though.

Planning to wrap your wood in rubber and stick it a hole like Bull?

Hey, I could use a couple of beavers here! 5 to 10 minutes top, then I'd be done with em!
