Steve's EX-500 - Airbox mods

FOG's been telling us all about his slight mod for the EX-500, and Peter Quinn has made available an image showing where to place the appropriate hole. I recently upgraded to a K&N filter, and decided the timing was right to make the mod myself.

Here's the left and right side covers for the airbox. The right-side has this trumpet thing, and that's where you're supposed to place the hole on the left-side.

Drilling the hole is no biggie, just remember it's plastic, so use a slow speed or else you'll just melt the plastic.

Here's how it looked afterwards.
