In the "true clip-ons" thread Le Fox posted some pictures. On that bike the airbox cover has 2 scoops? Where can I get one !?
What kind of airbox cover is this?

Ah, well I'll prolly throw you an e-mail because most likely I'll get you to send that to me with the FAST kit.
Hi guys.. i actually paid more for this cover than i would have done for the carbon version.
Why[confused]..?
1. I wanted it black painted.
2. It has larger air intakes than the carbon version.
3. The carbon sells without mesh grilles (so the holes leave gaps for road debris etc).
4. My bike is raked (from 21 - 23 degrees, adds 28 mm trail, 12 mm lowered fork legs, wheelbase 1345mm) so the top triple tree bolt would hit the "lip piece" (of the tank dummy), that is molded around the fuel intake hole. This cover is molded without the lip piece.
These are avaible from a few online dealers, quite costly when painted. See to it, that you get it with a good paint that suits glassfibre + a high quality clear coat (ask for predrilled attachment holes also). I have had one original cover painted and the paint cracked due to faulty paint.

Look (google away) for DCC glassfibre factory.
Stefan has some cool screens and this cover (pictured above) + some skull worked covers and screens. You'll will find kuryakin featured covers also. He is very good at english, and nice, so exports outside EU probably work great. I would order those products readily painted with clear coat.
Remember, Kuryakin cover, complete kits with flaps and K&N etc etc are not performing better than dual intake covers and F.A.S.T. kit. They will give you a cool look, resembling that of Wakan Roadster. For performance, F.A.S.T. kit and dual air intake is better. Fat-cat.eu sell F.A.S.T. kit and more.
I would also suggest some of you people, try the new tuneboy device. This is probably the better choice of fuel manipulators (for XB owners) at the market today.
Good luck, i hope some curious minded post us a nice pic of a new set up,... soon.
