Haven't fitted these yet, but they look a good simple design. The sponge material between the air box and the tubes attached to the nose cone have completely deteriorated on my 2000, leaving massive gaps.
Fitting these involves more air box mods (quick and easy) then attaching the plastic bits to the air box and unfolding the rubber seal over the tubes. Looks a fail safe idea - will update when done.

Just a piece of duct tape over all the connecting areas does the same job and it cost few cets. And no need to cut anything either

Replace it with rubber is probably best, if it's fit and forget. I think these are the same as Simmo's and I think they're better if you're constantly taking the nose off. I have no idea why, but I'm frequently having to remove the nose for some reason or other, and these look easier to put back together than rubber alone. Cutting the airbox looks like a Dremel job only.
Hump glove box is brilliant - will try to figure out how to post pics before giving a review.

I'm seriously considering not bothering - it was more for aesthetics anyway, I rarely get to see north of 120km. I was going to just use duct tape, but I thought it would get too hot around there and that would just hassle with melted stuff from the duct tape.
