Great Idea.

Sure to be good for a couple of extra horsepower, no doubt about it.

I was just thinking, it might even look better with the Pegasus facing forward.

Charlie:

I think you are correct. The grooves and such for the breather line/ wire harness/ EX valve cable are at the left rear of the airbox.

It is confusing w/o any REAL reference.

Very nice. Where did you get the pattern and how did you cut the cover?

Thanks,
Keith

I blew up a black and white pegasus logo, and printed two versions. One facing left(pictured), and one facing right for the other side. I cut out the pegasus as if it were a spraiy paint stencil and used a glue stick to make a temporary adhession to the ABC. Used a no. 2 pencil to trace it out, then an exacto knife to score the lines incase the pencil marks were rubbered off in the handling process.
Busted outr the Dremel tool and a cutting wheel for all the straight lines. then the drill bit end to use like a router. With alot of control and patience i cut out the head. then de-burr with the exacto knife.
