Just another airbox mod

Airbox mods vary from tame to wild, and everything inbetween, if you've read enough of the forums in the last year. After looking at all the other ideas, I came up with this one. What started life as a Yamaha outboard dual binacle control box cover, ended up being the perfect size and shape for my new airbox scoop. I cut the back side off the control box cover and ended up with this (shown next to the stock airbox lid)...



Then I added a sceen on the opening to keep the bugs out, and bolted on the lean angle sensor and made a mount for the FMF Programmer, similar to the ECU mount...



I had to do a lot of fine tuning with the sander and cutters on the mating surface to make it sit flush on top of the airbox, but I think it came out good. It fits like a glove right over the stock opening. Then I glued it down with SuperGlue and sealed around the bottom with black silicone.







There is a much larger opening there now so I think I'll be getting enough air finally. I have been putting off modding the airbox cuz I just didn't like what I saw others doing. I think this will work out great. Now if it doesn't rain tomorrow maybe I can give it a test ride.

Nice clean mod, Mark! You're such a perfectionist.

That's sweet

Very Clean!

Good post. Definitely food for thought. I'm going to have to look at that carefully.

This is the part of the control box cover I used. I cut off the back side where the red circle is. This is an old style 704 box. They don't make it anymore, but you might find one at a marina who has some junk parts.

Nice air box mod. I would have to say it is one of the CLEANEST yet.
If anyone discovers something else you could use to go ontop the airbox(more easy to find/buy/get)
Please let me know.

controlerbox is very interesting things I see. Its looks very nice and it seems fits perfect. I couldnt find any one mod like that before. So, I had to come up with my own idea for mine. This is what I have done for mine.
I wanted more air goes in but didnt want water run in to it. Then I came up with wall around the hole. It works so far.
