So... you did pull it out of the factory filter and put it into the groove of the K&N, right?
That's the way the '97-8's are, and I've been into several XX's, but they have all been carb'd, and I know the air boxes are different...

anyone have to rejet their bike because of the K&N to compensate for the leaner mix? or did you experience a flat spot at high RPM afterwards? just curious..
