general advice needed

[oldszinio]

I'm looking or in the process of turning my bandit from a half faired to a naked. the advice I'm after is, if I want to put k&n air filters onto my bandit (mk2 1200s) do I need to fit a jet kit for it? and what do you do with the breather pipes on the air box from engine? do I blank them and fit a crank breather? 

 

any advice would be welcome

thank you

Why not keep the airbox and fit a K&N in that? With a few additional holes to aid airflow it'll work good even to fairly high power levels. A M8 has this set up on a 1216 bandit with RS36's fitted - pulls from nothing, flattest torque curve you could want and 156hp at the top end - not too shabby!

not to bad at all, to be honest I've had a carb problem which I've sorted just didn't want the hassle of refitting the airbox also just interested in jetting it for some more power
