My Apollo 36 250

Hi everybody,

I'm from Idaho and just picked up a Apollo 36 locally for $800. According to previous owner he only used it for ~150miles. He also installed a Mikuni Clone but left the stock jetting 20/100. Reason for sale =>Bike is too tall.

Things I've done:
1. Replaced the jets with 30/110 needle clip on the bottom. ($15) - I'm around 2700ft elevation.
2. Adjusted Valves a bit looser (0.003" INTAKE and 0.004" EXHAUST).
3. Added thread locker on all bolts per info here.
4. Updated the chain roller. ($15)
5. Changed oil to 15W40 and Brake fluid to DOT4.
6. Cleaned out airbox and sprayed oil on the air filters. Updated airbox on pg3.
7. Deleted the EPA stuff by welding the head exhaust cover shut.
8. Cleaned up the crankcase Vent, running straight down.
9. Rear shock wouldn't hold air, found the schrader valve housing leaking. Replaced the O-ring and added teflon tape, pumped to 120PSI. Changed the rear shock out for an 98 Honda CR250 shock on pg3.
10. Inline fuel filter installed and fuel hoses replaced.

Bike rides really good although I haven't had it out on trails yet. I'm 6'2" - 235lbs and bike's got plenty of power.

Questions:
Has anyone figured out a better airbox solution?
I would like to install a cone type air filter inside but it will require some ingenuity.

Also I would like to raise the rear of the bike, any suggestions?
Maybe a larger rear wheel/tire.
