Get a new boot and filter (or K&N, if you prefer) and stick with the
stock airbox, in my opinion. They seem to run best, and then you don't
have to listen to so much annoying intake roar.
You should be careful when hooking it all up to make sure you get a good
seal, and then check the boot once a year (at least) for cracks.

| Hello All, Again I apologize for asking questions that have appeared in the forum before. If anyone has any idea on how to get the search function to work, I will gladly use it and avoid all of the re-hash. Thanks to everyone who responded to my carb question, got 'em cleaned and am just waiting on the parts. Can't wait to get it fired up. My rubber airbox boot is cracked- thought this might be the time to switch to K+N. I understand that there are a few options 1. Mount K+N directly to carb(with venturis?) 2. use T3 velocity stacks(why and does this require customization) 3. Turn down my own venturis(not sure why- to fit a different filter?) 4. Use the K+N airbox filter Can anybody let me know which is the best way. I scanned through umpteen previous pages of this list and couldn't find it. Also, I may as well ask now--I want to replace my petcocks with some that are good. These are the worst thing on the bike in my opinion. Does anyone know of some good ones from a different bike that will work? I guess I will consider the rebuild route if some knows of a fix that lasts.
