Has anyone tried using an 06 airbox on a 04 or 05 450r to take advantage of the larger airfilter setup?? If so what was involved??
Well here are my thoughts on the subject. Seeing that the 2006 has quite a bit larger airfilter setup than the 04 or 05, i was wondering how it work on the older models. From my understanding, not only is the body of the airfilter bigger but so is the opening of the airfilter, something like 150% bigger which is the main reason i'm looking into this upgrade. To my knowledge the airbox itself will bolt up just fine, but the airboot that goes from the carb to the air box will only work with a FCR carb without the Billet bell on it like this one (http://www.nossmachine.com/honda_quad_parts.htm) Anyhow I've seen the airbox setups for as little as $60. So I figured it might be worth a try.
Does anyone here have the measurements of the inside diamater of an 06 airfilter??
