Has anyone seen one of these installed or have one ?

They look pretty good, you get another inch behind the air filter which is a big deal for ease of starting the screw and checking the seal around the filter.
It also allows you to remove a few bolts and have a straight shot at the filter from under the fender.
I've e-mailed Ken to see what he thinks and to see if he may be interested in carrying them. Doug

I'm the maker of this product and I'm on my second MX season with the kit and I've experienced no problems with it at all. I find it significantly easier to access the filter from under the rear fender. Not only does this allow for an easier filter extraction but, it also simplifies installation of the wingscrew, and provides a better view at the filter eliminating the question whether or not you've put the filter on right. As far as ruining the structural integrity of the airbox, I don't see it as an issue since the airbox isn't subjected to any loads. In the nearly two years of MX testing, the airbox hasn't degraded (structurally) from this mod. If you'd like a more objective view, I may be able to put you into contact with customers. Do a google search under "AIRBOX EZ" and my website should be a top hit. My contact info is there (I'd put it on this post but, I think I'll get nailed for spamming). Thanks for the interest.
