Re: RVF400, race bike,never ending story
You are right, you can see it in the next two pics!!!royster81 wrote:i'd say the answer is in this picture tony, at a guess i'd say only half of that tank in the background holds fuel and the other half is where the air gets in via the air scoops. finally someone has put the scoops to use.Drunkn Munky wrote:Top work michael, do you have any pics of how your air intake works through the tank or is this a closely guarded secret?
am i right michael ?

Re: RVF400, race bike,never ending story
Thanks michael, nice work there.
Did you make the underside of the OEM honda tank smaller or just add the tubes?
I love the way your using the ram air tubes for the intake, have you tested this method against the traditional ram air feed from under the headstock? Ive always thought a central single air feed is prefered to the twin setup but on a RVF using the twin air ducts is very trick

Michael,
How do you know the size\volume of the airbox wouldn't be too big ?
