Yes I see what you mean that's what I was meaning by the "sump" next to the trumpets, it wouldn't work with the filter, there would be nothing for it to sit on. I think apart from a copy renegade etc the open airbox mod is the only real option.

i think hobbit found a way to make it flat

setting the bike on fire to melt it was a tad extreme but......

Those are the mille/tuono air boots. They will fit the airbox fine but not such a good fit to the other intake tubes. You really need the equivalent Falco parts - which I fitted but found no benefit other than excess noise

Where would I get them from?

scouring breakers etc

imho - not worth it

The best thing I've seen is the MWR filter. But it's pricey.

Do you still have that K&N spare D-R?
Buy a K@N of ebay and modify your air box. I will be doing my own write up in the next couple of weeks when another air box arrives.

Not even started mate. On my list of jobs but. This is not my picture, it was taken from Facebook, but this is what I meant.

Im thinking of doing the same is all. I hope to acquire a new airbox soon. Also waiting to buy k&n just need to wait a bit before parcels start arriving for me...

I think there was one on the AF1 forum .... but you might need to search back a fair few years

Here's my MWR HE kit fitted through the stages image slide show if that helps anybody - I really rate mine, in spite of the cost...
