You are better off just makin your own, you can check ebay to for a good deal. I had a custom airbox for my R that my dad's friend made out of aluminum. It was basicly just a sheild for my filter, it did its job well till I broke it:blah If you are making your own I would recomend using plastic. It will not crack like aluminum and is cheaper and eaiser to fix if you damage it. Make sure it clears your shock linkage and caliper and sproket in case you bottom out REALLY hard. That is what led to the demise of mine.
