I clamp the filter straight to the carbs.
It has no problem fitting right on easy.
The runner is another piece I didn't need just like the airbox.

No runners.

I made four small v-shaped cut-outs on the K&N filter so it could "taper down" as I tightened the clamps up.

In the picture you can see the four little cut-outs on each intake side. You make them small so their edges close together when you clamp them tight on the carb intakes.

I used the runners and it works great. You have to bend them a bit to get them in the filter but they spring back to shape once they are inside. Snug the clamps and your good to go.

i didn't use any runners and didn't have to make any cuts to get the filter on. but my filter does hit part of the bike frame up top. little bit of a dent, but no biggie.
