I was talking to a mate about increasing air flow, and he came up with a great idea..... Mandrel bend some muffler pipe to a right angle, then have a harley style hyper filter sticking out each side! Forced air induction for each carbureter!

I dunno that this would achieve the desired end result. imo, it would only serve to add to turbulence, which would restrict flow. The idea should be to have the carb's mounted to draw as much air as possible, in a non turbulent enviroment.

I suppose at some level this mod could work when thinking about it, it really serve's the same purpose as the so called "restrictor" in the stock airbox. Basically you create a smaller area for airmass to collect prior to entering the intake. This should in theory create more velocity.

I doubt seriously this would show a improvement on paper..( a dyno )...if there's one thing I have learned since I began modding my bike it's that gain's seen on paper compared to gain's felt by the seat of the pant's are 2 very different thing's.



Bring on another 5hp! (and it would look sweet)
