Air ducts on NC35?
Hi,
Do these "ram air" ducts on my nc35 actually do anything at all?
I was looking through posts and alot say theyre just cosmetic but theres a few comments
here and there saying they feed abit of cool air to the engine...
I ask because im thinking of puttying/sealing them off on my bike, but I wont if they actually do something

This old chestnut again
They might just add a little bit of cool air into the engine bay but i seriously doubt it makes any difference at all. Ive run 35's with and without the tubes and not noticed a bit of difference. You can fit a 30 tank if you want to get rid of the tubes.

That they do, but most race bikes with aftermarket fairings can't fit them.trademe900 wrote:Why get rid of them? They look cool.
