Have a question
I now have SL55 airboxes and need to know if the front engine cover for the SL55 setup would fit...or would it be too long

Not 100% sure on this but i think you will have an issue with the oil cap location not lining up.

I'm pretty sure its been done before, I remember seeing pictures of other people doing it. Only problem is that it lines up kinda weird near the supercharger. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on the forum.
