Absolutely, get yourself a standard airbox lid. I don't know who started the rumour that removing it enhances performance, but I've never known a bike to run very well without it. In fact, I know of bikes that have been sold because they didn't know why they weren't running right!

That'll be your main issue - and even more vital than the snorkel. Without it, the air entering under the headstock is more turbulent and messes up fueling.
