Dino, I hope that works for you. Just a further extension of your idea about 2 breathers. The turkey pan is very cool and I have thought of this for myself and that is to have a turkey pan on a fixed baseplate (so you would not have to remove the carb), that would also act as a heat dissipater and that I could remove with 4 corner wingnuts. It would be awesome for shows and cruising long distances in hot weather. The rest of the time I would use my 14" round KN top and side filter. I used an oval filter from a SPF and a 14" round with 2.5" high KN, but it was not until I added the top filter that my engine could really start to breathe. I know a turkey pan would be the worst of all but I really like the authenticity. Just a thought if anyone would like to comment.

By the way, where is Millbrae? I used to live in Glendora which is about halfway between Pasadena and Pomona along the foothills.
