12 inch shorties which I have

Will be installing bonneville pipes on it with the shorties.
As I have bags that will work for the winter with the low pipes .

You really need to cut the airbox to fit pods...they won't fit without cutting. I did this it works great and you really need to remove box from bike to cut properly. You might be able to do it on the bike but too much hassel..DO LOOK at the threads here on cutting the airbox...so easy by the pictures...cut so your mounting points for all the dodads are still there. LOOK AT THREAT PHOTOS...STEP BY STEP...

The choices with your airbox are numerous.

To fit pods you'll either have to hack it or remove it.

And everything you'll likely need to know how is in this sticky..................
