Be advised that drilling holes in the stock airbox requires jetting changes now, not later. I had my stock airbox off and apart last night and decided to try a little opening up. I bored a 1 3/8" hole in the bottom front portion of the airbox, Ramair effect, My R* did not like that at all. It was great on top end revs but getting it there was a fight with the throttle. Definite jetting required. I taped over the hole I made and all is normal for now. In a couple of weeks when the snow flies and the bike goes up on the jack for the winter, the carb's comming off for rejet and other things as well as the rest of the bike getting attention for various stages of maintanance and mods.

kinda gives you an idea of the potential that is lurking...
