[QUOTE="DaveFJR, post: 435091, member: 8769"] Modifying your ride is part of the sport of motorcycling for many. My bike would pass emissions with a few turns of the DFO screws with the O2 sensor re-connected. Some people never do anything to their bikes. I bought my FJR used, mint condition with 3,200 miles for 5 grand less than new. It even had the stickers still on it. This is in the technical forum section after all, not never ending threads (at least not yet.) So, I thought it was interesting the effect of cutting that 2 inches off showed up on the vacuume gauge. I cut the snorkel on my Royal Star and it was fine for 10 years. (I cut that one for the cool rip noise it made on the intake & it also had 4 into 4 straight pipes.) Rain would be my concern for a serious WW type air box mod, but each is own. If WW has a problem, hopefully he would admit it and post a result. I would. There is more protection on the FJR intake than other bikes but I'll pull the covers and check the k&N filter after my first ride through a serious downpour. If I do not like the results, later I will buy a new $15 part and post my results/opinion here. Except for the cut snorkel and aftermarket filter, the box is stock with all other covers on it.
