It is to my understanding that these bikes all have the carb connected to the engine and airbox with the rubber connector flanges. The problem here is that the carb is being supported on either side, and removing the airbox's support from the one side will cause excessive strain on the single engine-carb connector. Since this is rubber it will likely crack over time and then you will have an air leak. You need to find a solid bolt on connector that you can use to mount the carb to the engine before putting the new air filter on.
I was thinking about putting a new filter on my bike, but because of the issue i mentioned above I opted to drill a couple large holes in the airbox. This definitely gave the bike a throatier sound and slight bit better throttle response.
