yes, you have it right. However, I am

As for the vents, it is up to you and how much trouble you wish to go to...if you don't intend to take the bike into the Milwaukee River you could just pull the cover and forget the filters...I was able to squeeze 12 1" uni filters on top in only the correct places (you don't want to violate the internal routing of the filtered air)...but only after pulling the box which requires "breaking" the sub-frame and removing the box ( a tedious process)...on the discs...I'd recommend 8 and closing your pilot screw to 2 to 2 1/2 turns....oh I wish I could go to County Stadium and have a brat with some stadium sauce...

Hi Kurt, Could you elaborate on your placement of the Uni's. I have 6. I wasn't even considering doing the top because I can service/clean/oil all 6 now without pulling the seat. LaterZ Dash
