	Hey gang I am just in the process of make an air box for the Skoda running bike carbs. Would I be better make an empty box and fitting a cone type filter (cheap) to a spigot on the box, or would I be better incorporating a wide long panel filter in the box (more like a 'normal' air box)? The shape of the box will be similar to a shoe box in size. Either way, cold air would be being ducted into the box, or pointed towards the cone filter. I will perhaps pop some sketches it later/tomorrow if that helps? Lewis

	For ease of fabrication I would be tempted to go with a panel filter and create something around that, to my mind it should also flow better, The ram air effect isn't as much on a bike as you can get with a car so it would be worth keeping an eye on the mixtures to make sure it doesn't suddenly run lean when its going at a fair rate.

	Having spent a fair bit of effort making up an airbox for my bike carbs attached to a big filter ducted into the front grill's airflow, the rolling road session actually showed it up to be a hindrance to airflow. Individual sock filters on each bellmouth were much less restrictive. Goes against conventional wisdom but it's something to think about
