Really aint much to it.

You remove the old stuff.

Put a rubber coupler on the carb neck. I've seen some guys buy one at the hardware store and some use a piece of radiator hose. (I started off with rad hose but once I knew what I wanted ordered a silicone piece)

6 inch section of 1 1/2 inch pipe, can be as simple as PVC or you can go all out and get stainless. That slips in the rubber connector. (got SS on mine because I happened to have a piece laying around)

Put your filter on the end. (I'm running a unifilter, you need one that will fit the pipe diameter you have)

The old vacuum line that ran to the air box I see most guys just run a longer hose and shove it between the outer and inner foam on the filter. (I threaded a nipple in the pipe on mine and have an oil catch can)

Tune and rejet the carb. Suggest just paying the $6 or so on ebay for the 10 piece jet kit. Once you get it dialed in as long as you don't change elevations all the time it's set but nice to have them all for tuning vs ordering one at a time and waiting.
