          I have been thinking the same thing for a long time. there's tons of MNS for sale all over the interwebs. I just wonder how much I can get for my super rare MNS handlebars? bidding will start at $100.00

              You do have to admit though, finding an air box for any other model is pretty easy at $10-$20. But find a MNS air box with that nice of gold chrome and the 1100 emblems in place and that nice?? Not very bloody likely.

                        Ow! That makes me remember changing my engine and taking the stupid airbox out the wrong way. Was a pain to put back together again. Of course that won't happen again, or if it does, it'll have pods on it afterwards.

                          That could cost a good bit having to pay ALL OF US to not put an airbox on your bike while you're not looking.

                            Hell, I'll not put one on, while he IS looking, for that price.
