So currently, the intake track sits like this :
It "sucks" in air from underneath the rear seat. Not a lot of clean space there or an open air to draw air in.
I'm thinking about modifying it to suck in air from underneath the bike...something like this:
To do that, you'd have to cut an oval hole in your underfairing and obviously cut the stock intake track. The intake tract is very pliable so this should be pretty easy.
Then, I was thinking about fabbing up a sort of "cover" (the green part) to protect the opening from debris kicked up by the tire. This part would simply screw into the underfairing via sheet metal screws. It would be made out of ABS/carbon fiber....maybe even 3D printed. It will have some holes at the bottom to get rid of any moisture that gets in it.
Thoughts? Opnions?
Here's a shot with the seat removed. You can see the intake tract is shortened, and not in the way of anything. I think it would be very beneficial.
