Okay is there any alternative to the big and bulky air box?

Is it a stock carburetor? Find the right size air filter for it so it doesn't leak air and check the temps until you get the jetting correct.
Here is one that I have used for stock carb. It's a tight fit but worked for me. http://www.bikebandit.com/aftermarket-p ... cle-filter #173428 is a 1" size
Just be sure you have no other air leaks on the motor or you will not be so successful. GL

it is a stock carb and intake so should I just invest in getting one of those filters

Correct jetting is crucial. Be sure to use a temperature gauge, or read the spark plug at least. There are some older posts on how to do this. Use the search feature.
