Yes, I know this... it's wax for depilation.... :clap: :up:

Just question releated of the air box - are this fine if the throttle bodies will be inside of the air box. As I remember the air flows can be incorrect in such big air box. Are you sure this is good idea to use sucb big airbox ?

Very nice.

This is thread is becoming very repetitive.....awesome work all the way through! :grin:

Your intake setup looks very similar to the kit RC45's that I've seen.

I don't think the airbox can be too big. Limiting factors are usually the shape of the bike and size of the tank.

No i did not do it myself. The first parts i bought in Austria, tank, airbox, seat and fairing.
Michael made a copy of all this parts and made the carbon parts.

The intake setup is a copy from the rc45 kit. I will post some detail pics.

In my opinion the airbox can´t be big enough because when you want more power you need the air.
Often the tank goes into the rear of the bike, now cou can create room for a larger airbox.
