is the "l" mod in air filter housing any good?

Reading the messages on the subject I decided not to change the stock
muffler or air filter. But, just wondering, does cutting the air
filter case make any difference? If worth trying, would be the air
filter more exposed (when washing the bike or whatever)?
Thanks guys.

Hey Adrian,
No..don't cut the L into your airbox.All that does is let in even
more dirt and dust.
the only way that airbox L mod might be beneficial, is if you were
running an aftermarket pipe with a jetted up carb and a performance
air filter.Other than that....you are wasting your time and energy
cutting the airbox.

Who washes a KLR? OK I guess you mean that when you ride through a
stream does the water get in there.....

revmaaatin,
I don't know about Seafoam compatibility but the Por15 website says:
"U.S. STANDARD FUEL TANK SEALER was formulated and developed in our
own laboratories due to the demand for a high-tech sealer impervious
to all fuels, including the new Stage II fuels which have a high
alcohol content. It has superior strength and fuel resistance, and
does not contain Methyl Ethyl Ketone, a highly flammable and deadly
carcinogen (cancer-causing)."
The site claims other tank coatings break down with high alcohol
fuels so your statement may be true for Kream.
I need to ask if you know that Seafoam is safe for use on the CVK40
diaphragm. My experience with other carb cleaners is that the
diaphragm can be ruined by them.
