More like six inches, but yeah, I'd be plenty happy with cowl height. I guess the theory is that on a dusty trail, the higher you go, the cleaner air you get. Makes no difference to us, but I guess out west and overseas expedition-type wheeling, where they might cover hundreds of miles of dirt roads a day, it might help...

I never had a problem with the main tube. It was the cross hatch as well as the portion that it attaches too. After a couple of rides and two broken cross hatch pieces I turned it around backwards until I found a stock air box and took everything off. The only bad part after that was covering the Jerry rigged hole the previous owner put In the lower fender with a cutting torch.
