Hello Time Warp,Thanks for re-posting pictures in the other thread!If your spacer is thicker than 3/16" (item 52 in the ham can spares fiche), it raises the air box a few mm and locates it slightly to the rear, so now the lower mounting holes may no longer fit the battery carrier.I guess that's the reason why you fitted a spacer plate there. With all respect, how is this modification an improved fit? If the air box fitted poorly in the original position, wouldn't it be more sensible to modify the top bracket only, or fabricate a new bracket? Are you taking fit of left side cover into account? I may be missing some information here, so please fill me in.As for the rear air entry, it's a nice peace of fabrication, but I am not sure what the purpose is. An opening for the engine to suck in unfiltered air? Those curved integral intakes provide the advantage of filtering out all droplet moisture, which the ham can air box can't do. Yes, the ability to allow cooler air in (vs. the previous air box design) is a distinct advantage too.- Knut
