Teixeira Tech Airbox Lifter Kit

[Stickman400]

Well I finally got around to installing their lift kit and it works perfect and seems to be a solid piece. I decided to just buy a new airbox from the local Honda shop for $18 and chop the back mount off. All you have to do is measure up from the lip of the airbox on the back mount 5/8" and cut it off. Drill 2 holes with a 1/4" bit and then countersink them for the 2 flat allen headed bolts. Then mount it up using Loc-Tite. U can keep using your stock front mounts and it puts the lid about 1" from the seat pan. It sits damn close with an EHS lid (actually contacts the back bolt of the lid) like I have with the normal allen bolts, I really need to swap those out with pan heads. It also has 2 holes on the back mount to use for a 450 carb. or the stock 400. You still use the stock hole if you have the Zr adapter. Pretty clean install, which I like. On to the pics...

What's the reason for doing this?

When you put an aftermarket rear suspension link on you need to raise the air box so it does not hit or bottom out since the link lowers your ride height.

Figured that was why.

How much does it raise the airbox? Or I guess that depends on where you cut the tab and drill the holes...

I couldn't tell you exactly, never measured when it was stock. It puts the lid about 1" from the seat pan though. You will either need to remove the rear bolt from the mount every time to remove the lid or take the metal tabs off the back to take the lid off though. The tabs won't rotate backwards since they sit so close to the frame after it's lifted. I guess you could cut them off higher up if you wanted, but then your swinger would hit it if it wasn't high enough, that's why it gets cut off where it does.
