Gen 1 Edwards air tubes.

Whats the benefits of these and is there a market for them in top quality pre-preg carbon?

I agree with Mark because you can't see them the only real benefit over OE is the lightness of the carbon construction and the stock ones aren't heavy, I could weigh some for you if that helps you get an idea of the weights involved,   

Think again jg 😀

Hi JG, bit confused. When you say full fairing, do you mean the upper/nose fairing?

maybe the question you should be asking is what would people like to see available in quality carbon, me I'd quite like a carbon front sprocket cover .

Budd, a gen 2 one fits. You just have to gently rub down the side of the sprocket cover that goes near the frame.

The problem with the fairings is the amount of models, early gen1 like mine and later gen 1.5, to get enough people together for either could be a nightmare, been trying to get morepower to make me a tank for ages and quantity is always the problem.

Look very similar but every panel is different .

I done some work on my intake ports today -

I opened them up and sealed were the port connects to the frame as there is a gap

I removed the grill and repositioned the air sensor

When I assemble the port back together I used gasket seal on all the joining part so no air leaks

I heated up the intake scoop at the front of the ports and straightened them so it is more direct intake..

I just need to seal the big boot now to the inside of the frame and I should have a pretty much sealed intake system inc my Evo air box. 👍

Can see on the left the scoop is covering the intake port - on the right is were I heated up and straightened it ..


Both done

Errr! I'm not saying there isn't a significant weight saving, I'm sure there is. However the airbox you show has the air filter inside and your tray does not.

The Mille was one of the most aerodynamic bikes of its time apparently

no fair comment .....like chasing maximum horsepower when in reality a slight drop in power but a rise in torque is probably better for day to day riding in the real world

as per the link on FB call or email Gez
