    ...

    just remove air box and install a cone filter...turn the elbow facing up so that stuff has a harder time flinging in to the new cone filter.
    when you install the cone filter use a bracket to stable the cone filter in place as not to flap around precariously.

    I have Calmini's air filter with their bracket installed. every so often just use a K&N filter recharge kit to recharge the filter

    If you don't want to do the cone filter thing.... All you need to do is remove the airbox, leaving the extension that runs to the fender. On the fender towards the front, you will see the "Elbow", remove that. Not much to it.

    the elbow is between the fender and the air filter box.you need to remove the filter box to remove the elbow.i believe there are 2 bolts holding the filter box.then remove the S shaped piece that holds the elbow to the box.then remove the elbow and reinstall the filter box. shawn

    2 bolts inside the box and 1 nut outside that can be very difficult to remove as it is on top of a threaded stud.
