Air box scoop/flap

Post by Repsolnc30 »

Hi all I have now got the air scoop was just wondering where the larger of the two rubber flaps should be ? Does it sit in front on the plugs or by carbs ?

I always thought the large flap hung down in front of the plugs to try and weather proof them or provide protection from the rain.
The small flap rests on the back of the front head and sits slightly below the front 2 carbs, again I thought it was there to weather proof.
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Large wide flap hangs down infront of the front head, hard plastic "scoop" sits inbetween top rad and frame, small thin flap sits between carbs and engine.
