klr airbox mods; how-to help?

greetings; i am a noob not only in this forum, but in forums in general. have been a "lurker" up to now. isn't that a flattering description?
i have an '03 klr650 which i've been enjoying for the past year up here in B.C. i've decided to open up the airbox a bit, and am looking for some info on the best locations for the holes. i will be using the 1 inch foam-backed plugs, and would like to put them up under the seat. i have seen mention of airboxes with an "L" mod., and i presume that means to cut out the entire raised section. right? i would prefer to not cut out such a large single section, but wonder if i cut 3 or 4 1" openings in the "L", would they be too close to the seat pan when i plant my butt and luggage on it?
i would appreciate the benefit of anyone's experience or expertise. be in touch, thanks

Even if these "FilterVents" are close to your seat pan, they will still breathe better than if they are not there at all. You could also add some of these vents to the air box lid.

So, give me a little input about the screen between the air box and the carb... necessary, not necessary? And is there any advantage to removing the screen. I'm adding a Suppertrapp exhaust and jet kit 1/2... Thanks for any input...

If you are preparing a race bike and need the last ounce of performance, then this screen should be removed. However if you are not needing this type of performance and would like your bike to be somewhat protected from burning to the ground, then I would keep this backfire screen in place.

Thanks Fred... wondered what that screen was for... think I'll keep the bike in tact for now... Thanks again...
