Quick question for Simmo (or those in the know).

Air box.. I can't say I'm a real fan. The way the filter sits recessed into the front of the box makes it hard to know if you have a positive seal (more so than usual). Any tips? I'm also going to fill the joins around the base of the box and rear fender with some sikaflex marine. Whats the easiest way to get access, do a clean job, and still seal it up. I bought the small tube to help in that regard. Apply some and wipe away with a moist rag? Also, the huge air vent in the lhs airbox panel. Looks like it breaths well but it also appears to be just right for feeding water directly onto the side of the filter. Wet season is coming, and creeks and mud are everywhere up here. I don't want the new steed drinking any more water than it needs to.

Other than that everything else is progressing nicely.
