Then, using my trusty Dewalt drill I put about five 3/4 in holes in the air box near where it fits into the fender. I also but three 1 in holes on the bottom of the air box. Result? Poor man's heat shield.
I was thinking of doing the same type of thing to the stock air box - do you have any pictures?
