Yes, I know this... it's wax for depilation....
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!
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.PARUS wrote: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 ?

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.
