i was really looking to eliminate that accordion style piping that goes infront of the motor. any aftermarket piping i've found has just stuck an open filter there by the exhaust. while i was at it, i thought it'd be fun to design one that shortened the overall intake path...
i do like the thought of one that grabs air from the cowling below the windshield. any thoughts on wether or not this might be a bit too open to water vapor as well? we've run those water traps on the old "ice-man" intakes before with no problems, but that's more for large amounts of water, not so much vapor.
