    aluminum air cleaner housing

    i saw an article in a magazine that had an aluminum airbox for a 400ex and i cant find it anywhere.

    It had a place to relocate the battery inside if anyone has seen or heard of it please let me know the company name or website thanks in advance.

    after market companys charge $200 such as graydonproline.com and pingry.

    You know the world is going crazy when France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war.

    I just made an air box out of aluminum for my 400ex. All it cost me was like $30, the cost of the aluminum. I will post some pics sometime this week once i take some. Battery, all electrical stuff fits inside. But only a K&N filter fits in, i bought a UNI and found out it was too large.

    wasn't someone talking about making air boxes themself and selling them for like $100?

    I'd get one just to be able to move my battery, but there is no way I'm paying $200 for one

    The reason why i was going to sell them for $100 is because I am having them professionally wleded. Anyone who knows anything about welding know that aluminum is not easy to weld, it is one of the hardest infact. So you figure about $30 for alumium, bolts, grommit, and wires. Then you have to add how muc it is for the guy to weld it. it brings the cost up fast when u have to pay for labor. Besides, most stores mark up 50%

    $100 would be fine with me... I wouldn't expect you to pay $60 for parts+labor and sell them for $61
