Sooo..... Had a few buddy lights last night and started thinkin..... Might duplicate the inlet holes on the right side of the box so it can breathe and pull air from both sides.... Any thoughts???

I have wondered about that. My airbox has been drilled. I thought it was a pressurized airbox. Couldn't this potentially hurt performance?

The XB is not pressurized. The 1125 is. Later model XB's had "open" inner airboxes. My solution with a holesaw and a dremel, on my 06:

I opened mine up way more than that. But, I like hearing the intake sounds.

The 07-up box has holes everywhere BUT the right side as on the 06. It has been suggested the reason was not only to increase air flow but to reduce the intake of heated air from the opening in the frame above the rear cylinder. Makes sense to me, everybody here knows how hot it gets on the right leg near that gap.
