VN900 Air box cover mod

[cruiserone]

Ok everyone will say OMG another one ...
But predfan2001 told me to do so 'cause he thinks I've done an incredible job ...

Inspired from posts in here I tried it myself and got a HD Air box insert of ebay
(due to some circumstances I paid only the half price (so US$ 14.95 plus 12 bucks shipping to downunder )
I cut out as much as I could (instead of just 2 inches) out of the OEM air box cover to get a really snug fit for the new cover / insert, made up an aluminium bracket, sealed everything with silicone and let it cure over night - I'm really happy with the result











so cost was > US$ 14.95 plus 12 .00 shipping, AU$ 5.00 for silicone (bracket somewhere in the shed )
AU$ 25.00 for the beers - hehehe

Cheap as chips - but very efective IMO !!

Thanks again to predfan2001 for advice and support !!


Cheers from downunder

That turned out great. I need to remount my cover like yours so it fits closer to the factory air cover.

Just leave 10 mm around the the cover size - should be enough to seal PLUS the inner silicone seal ! I cut the hole bigger and bigger and found to stop right there to have a really snug fit from the outer edge of the cover .... Have fun - you've got everything - just buy the beers !!

Cheers
