Hey thanks for the update trailrabbitt, that's great to hear that it's an improvement for us tall folk (despite the shipping delay)! Looks like decent enough quality as well.
Funny you mention the snorkel, I modified mine and was just about to post about it on here. I also removed my snorkel when I replaced my rear shocks, and never felt like putting it back on. As much as I'd like to imagine myself the ever-intrepid, adventurous explorer braving into the wilds, if I ever find myself NEEDING that snorkel because I'm in 2+ feet of standing water, I've done something very wrong and I'm not where I want to be. That Zeta duct has been out of stock for a while and the ETA was 4 months last I checked, so enter my solution:
I bought this rubber intake cover from 8ftweekend:
BRC-C577-Air Filter Cover for CT125 Air Filter Cap (shipping included) – 8ft Weekend
It matches the aesthetic of the stock snorkel rubber exactly, and actually has 4 holes "drilled" in the underside to still act as an intake and not just a plug (which would obviously be pointless).
Similar to you, the biggest issue was the shipping: Ordered June 3, shipped June 22, arrived June 29.
The 4 holes on the underside were not satisfactory for me, so I dremeled out the back and added a grill that I fashioned out of an old metal mesh business card holder from Staples I had laying around.
Superglued that sucker in place and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
