To the right you can see clearly how the grommets are located on the tubing as if the air-box were in place but invisible in the pic. You can see how the main inlet tube on the Flo-Commander enters the air-box permitting the FC from breathing the same air as the carbs are breathing, as is necessary.  FCR`s with adapters for a Kaw. air-box, external mount, 5.JPG (106465 bytes) These particular air-box adapters adapt the Keihin FCR  Flat Slides to a Kawasaki air-box.

    As with the CBR 900RR system, when there are space issues inside the air-box & there is room to externally mount the system, it makes a really trick set-up. As seen here, when externally mounting,  you must feed the F.C. with the same pressurized air that the carbs  are breathing for proper circuitry operation.
