If they were to the smog stuff then just plug them. You can get rubber bungs at most hardware stores. Do not plug your crankcase breather. It should go to the airbox.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Good call on reinstalling the airbox too. Get some nice new boots and you will have no worries or headaches. Plus more riding time than fiddling time too.

GOOD CALL !! Wish we could get the other thousands of members to put there airbox back on it would save us a ton of time typing "we told you so" replies ! Just richen the OEM jetting a tad and ride worry free weather it's 45F or 80F ! B)

Went from a miserable temperature tempermental podded GSXR to a bone stock, richer jetted airboxed GSXR and OMG what a difference in street drivability !
