Custom Airbox / injectors??

Question

I live in Colorado so air is in short supply around here, I've heard of bikes with upgraded airboxes to improve flow and power. I was looking at my airbox the other day and it'll get the job done but it's nothing special, does anyone know where I can find a nicer box / intakes for my bike??

I was also thinking about doing the injectors, has anyone out there upgraded the injectors on their bike? Did it make a difference? Where can I find some performance injectors??

thanks!

An injected bike like the gixxer should already do a good job of compensating for altitude, so I'd be surprised if you would see any performance increase. You could fit a K&N filter, which is a good idea on any bike IMHO - that will certainly make the bike breath easier and is a cheap upgrade. You could also consider putting the bike on a dyno to check how much power loss you are actually getting, then if you really do see a loss check whether a Power Commander or similar injection re-mapping tool would help.
