I was thinking of that. It's based on bernoulli's principle. But think about the area in front of the filter and the back and on the bottom. It's a lot to begin with. Plus my legs are deflecting a lot of the wind.

If worst comes to worst, I'll find a way to mount the stock painted airbox f]cover to solve that.

In support of Routy's point,...  many people do go into modding with the idea of getting a little more... and with that idea in mind,... figure, "If I'm going to bother, I'll go for the most"... and tend to over-jet and under-baffle, and get a farty, stumbly, noisemaker, dog of a bike...

A little tweaking can give you a pony or two, but if you're looking to make a firebreather,... it's the wrong engine...

Without adding compression or cubic inches,.. you're limited to 30 to 35 HP... up from 29 to 32 stock...
.. and too much opening on the exhaust pipe will suck all the torque out of the bottom end,... and that's the "seat of the pants" feel that most of us really enjoy...

So,... basically, the best results come from being conservative, and trying to just coax a little more performance without killing your torqueband...

This is not directed to feelingjunky, but just a general caution to members that are new to modding and tweaking...
So,.. not saying don't touch anything, but take little steps and get real results...
Lots of help to be found here,... and opinions are like.....
....well, you know... ...

I'm just doing an intake and exhaust. No boring out headers, no jacking up compression ratios, no swapping pistons. K.I.S.S. I think I should be fine. From 30 to 35 hp is a noticeable difference. I would like that.
