I've always been a supporter of function over form

LOL, That looks like something Macgyver would piece together in 5 minutes with some duct tape and a swiss army knife to make a faster getaway....but oddly cool

I'd like to see some close ups of the scoop itself

It looks like they used corregated pipe ( dunno if I spelled it right ) Seems it would be better with a smooth pipe...It might be but hard to tell. Either way still its still a kick ass mod[up]

I used to ride a '96 FZR600R and it used almost the same design OEM. Air hole/scoops in the upper cowl and rubber pipe leading toward the engine.

Where do you pickup a windshield like that and what type of added perfomance do you think it will create?

LeFox · Nov 14, 2008

for air getting in, i think it would make significant difference.

the xbrr has a similar kinda setup...
and my guess is that the front fairing used is indeed that of the xbrr.

otherwise mod the stock

Adrenalin Moto (Trojan Horse) did the same on their racing XB. I believe they moded a HALS full fairing. Looks a neat job.

Would you need to do an airbox delete to get the full benefit?

most definately

Can you buy a XBRR front fairing? I have looked at modding mine but don't want it to come out looking like s**t.

LeFox · Nov 14, 2008

you can buy a cheap xbr fiberglass front fairing for about 100$, new.
ebay should get you an even cheaper price.

otherwise, i would suggest you page bpg for the price of the xbrr fairing.

Just modify your stock front fairing by removing the low beam light and put in a duct system just like shown on the race bike.

Interesting that the Trojan Horse guys ditched the ZTL brakes...

I like the look of the Macgyver job on the first pic better. All-in-all pretty cool ideas though.

Don't know if the wife will miss the vacuum hose.

I have the CF airbox cover with vents in them, isnt that same thing?

No because the front fairing deflects the air, which makes it Not a ram air since the air isn't being forced into the intake through the front.
