Just my 2 cents...
I recently knocked my left pod off of my carb. (freaked about 4 years ago, battery moved about 2 years ago) I am pretty sure that my left leg was to blame for knocking it off. I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to have the air filters sticking out further than stock and possibly rubbing on your leg. Not only for riding but with your leg straight down when stopped. Keep in mind that I am only 5'7" ish so my legs are not as long as some other on here.
On the other hand... Go and give it a try. Without people around to try new things we wouldn't have all the other mods that are so popular around here.
