OK, here are some pics and a bit of explanation
standard filter and K&N showing the lid that needs to be sealed to the K&N Here you can see the difference in height as the K&N needs the extra height to allow the tank to hold it in place  next 2 shows the sticky backed foam to use, if you can find that it is better IMO as you can shape it with a  this shows the foam build up around the front of the tank, you can see quite clearly the vaseline used to create a perfect seal this shows the two layers of foam attached to the top of the airbox, with a further build up at the back to accomodate the slight gap there is at the back of the tank, you need to remove the foil from the underside of the tank. this shows the back of the tank with the extra layers of foam needed, once you fit them you trim to size with a blade so you have a good seal at the back of the tank shows the two layers of foam, you can see the outer one has been compressed where the tank touches it shows the underside of the tank, you can see the vaseline marks where the seals are touching the tank again showing the build up of foam at the back showing the filter in situ There you go, any more questions ask away as long as the are not Irish!!

Call me thick, as my wife does, but I've just been looking at a number of photos of the EVO Airbox kit and the gasket / cnc metal ring thing look to be pretty flat - there is no discernable built up area to the back which would indicate that just adding a decent piece of door rubber to the top of the airbox would have exactly the same effect as the EVO.
Am I just being incredibly stupid here - does the Evo overhang the sides of the existing box and form a seal with the tank where it would normally just miss the top of the box?
Learning all the time - fantastic site guys - my 01 Mille is like a new machine thanks to all your sage advice - first track day looming at the end of April!!!

IMO the EVO does not form a good enough seal, what you are talking about re the door rubber is exactly what mine does but using high density foam instead of door rubbers, i reckon the foam will mould itself to irregularities better than a rubber seal

Badger, rack em up mate! There is now at least one more RSV benefitting from your wisdom - did the mod this weekend with a nice little camping mat from Halfrauds, evo-stick, a BMC hi-flo filter (v.nice) and a large portion of Vaseline from my personal collection. Got to say it is probably the best use of vaseline a man of 48 can make. Had my first blast on the bike this morning (01 RSV) and the winter mods have absolutely transformed the old girl, Fuel exhaust (big up to the Cumbrian massive for a quality item 155 sovs delivered with free mint cake) Aprilia performance chip ( just 9 of your english on e-bay), iridium plugs, Talon sprocket (16 - 44), and the badger box - still picking the early season flies out of my teeth!!
To anyone considering an air-box mod - Badger gets my vote, six quid, an hours work - less if you dont bother to sand the underside of the tank, but you really should - if it all goes tits-up what have you lost?
Belter!!

Thinking of doing this mod as well, just a couple of questions.
Probably stupid ones at that.---
1) Why do you have to sand the tank and why, if possible a picture please.
2) which filter to buy and where.
3) is the foam build up on top of thye air box or on the sides and up, I have not taken my tank off yet to look so unsure from just looking at pics.
4) will i need to have it set up on a dyno , running with a sports chip and shotguns at the present.
thanks for all the wisdom you give a leaner.

i am all for DIY and saving your hard earned cash but i have some concerns
the air will be full of oil vapour when the engine is running which is nasty stuff not to mention the possibility of contact between petrol and the foam and heat has to be taken into consideration the type of foam being used IMO will deteriorate and when this happens the foam will lose its flexibility and crumble turning to dust then the dust will end up inside your engine
another concern is fire. is the foam flame retardant?
if your insistent in using the foam i would suggest using instant gasket on the surface that contacts with the tank as this is obviously resistant to anything it will encounter
personally the foam used is not a material i would want any where near my induction system

Got round to doing the air box mod today, went well, took out for a play to check all was ok, love the sound.
Fitted my Arrow shotguns back on, minus the 'not for road use'
 maerkings on.Last week did the 16/44 tooth mod, oh my god what a difference,
managed to use the 108 link chain just, its got a tight spot which is a shame, so am fitting a new 110 link chain at the weekend.Thanks for all the advice, off to the Dutch TT at the end of the month, hope its dry this year(always seems to rain) on the weds night overnight ferry from Harwich.
Might see some of you there.

Good man. I did the 16/44 the other week and what a transformation. Getting addicted to power wheelies  . Was surprised at the induction noise from the box mod, love it. Managed to find a bit of spare cash so I talked myself into a No-Toil DT1 race filter and frame from Italoparts. IMO a snip at £110 inc P&P and have heard some good feedback on these .

I tried a BB at the wek end - just to see.
The original "EVO" system is basically a metal ring shaped to screw into the top of the bottom half of the standard air box and a rubber sealing flange. Very simple in construction so....
I bought a camping mat from Halfords to use as a seal. I took the original air box lid , drew around it on to the mat to give me an outline and then cut off the sealing edge. This became my "piece of metal" or ring. I then drew another line around the one already drawn on the mat one inch out from the original one. Now for the scissors - careful children - and cut out the outside shape.. I then secured this to the air box base by using the "ring" and the original screws. I then trimmed away the inside of the flange with a stanley knife. Cut out some mat packing for the air filter and a tub of air filter sealant and I was ready to rock. Once fitted and the seal checked , I fired her up. Works a treat! Just the same as my original EVO for the price a camping mat from Halfords. On the original EVO seal there is a fold back piece of rubber at the front of the airbox. This folds back upon itself to cure the gap at the front of the box. This was replicated on my mat outline.

heres my airbox mod used the top part of the air box and cut the front off to slope it up to maximise the seal,i used 29mm door rubber that fits perfectly to the rim of the airbox no need to glue ebay number 320636044837,as you can see ive also used the top part to cut out the bracket to hold the filter in place, alot more secure.i got some silicone sealent from a dive shop to further enhance the seal to the tank and also purchased a k&n filter, all in £38.00  |

Griff having dynoed them might be a better bet for a definitve answer but i believe that the gains were bigger on the Gen1 due to it having a smaller airbox capacity to start with than the Gen2 and a different intake route. With an intake on the highest pressure point of the nose there should be no shortage of air at speed on the Gen2 but maybe some improvements at low speed may be had. I'm sure there will be gains but not sure how much over say just a hi flow filter. |

if you do a search on Af1, Amauri (Aprilia USA tech at the time) did some dyno tests with/without the flapper mod. I'm sure it's still on there somewhere. He did post the graphs etc. I think from memory it made zilch, niet, nada power difference and actually fueled worse at low revs by removing it. I did try it myself and found no discernable difference whatsoever good or bad. |

I can't remember were it came from but Probly previously mentioned site. They removed all of the workings smoothed it off. I have the vac linked blanked off on mine but no definable different other than noise at the front of the bike. Going to map2 with k&n + blue flame gave mine allot more mid range. I was going to try the door seal gag ,even have a spare lid hear .But when I checked how close the box sat to the tank I lost interest and just enjoyed the bike. ------------- █╬╬╬╬(•)i¯i▀▀▀▀▀█Ξ███████████████████████████████) |

Your probably referring to the induction tube mod where someone cut out all of the obstructive plastic mouldings and used filler to smooth out the whole induction tract. I can't remember what figures he got but he was a racer i believe and was searching for top end so most of the gains would have been there. If you have the time and inclination, go for it. |

Right. So just to be sure, I won't gain much if any by an air box mod and flapper mod, if I have a Gen 2 model with a PC, can's, k&n. If so I will just ride the thing rather than tweaking.

You could try a hi flow air filter as you have the other mods but if you have a custom map it might ideally need a tweak if you make intake mods. re the flapper, rather than rip it out, to satisfy the itch disconnect the vac hose that runs to the activation valve on the right side of the air intake duct under the clocks. (Make sure you plug the vac hose with something or the bike will run rough, i used a little bolt wound in) By doing that the flap always stays open as that is the vac failure default position (you will likely hear it clonk open when you remove the hose unless it sat for ages). Then ride it and see if you notice any difference good or bad now it is open all the time. Based on what you feel decide whether to rip it out completely or leave it disconnected but installed or reconnect. I wanted to find out myself to satisfy the what if and that is how i did it. |

| Suspension is on my list. Previous owner had it done but sadly I have no idea of his weight etc so will do it again. |

You could try a hi flow air filter as you have the other mods but if you have a custom map it might ideally need a tweak if you make intake mods. I have seen an Evo kit for a gen 2 model. I already have a K&N fitted so will I see an improvement using the Evo kit? It's basically a rubber ring and another Hi flow air filter. |

the idea is it increases the volume of the airbox capacity hence allowing the engine to breath better -------------  |

| I have an airbox off an 02 Mille, with larger air intake off a 99 Mille, with sealing foam attached, and a K+N filter with foam on top to hold it in place with no airbox lid. I used it on my old bike. The filter will need a clean. £30 + whatever postage is. |

Ready for the dremel? What do you think? Planning to cut just above the tape.  This is the filter I had and will be using..  |
