HAHA

See, SNS... we got lots in common even these and red bikes (cant help it you have an RG)
Told you before your bike is "looking good" especially in that color! The lowers are great, rock solid on the ride by the way....

Same A/C filter, same surface area, the only difference is I took off the cover and mounted the center insert.

There is a loss of airflow each time air must turn a corner on its way into the carburetor. The fewer obstructions and the straighter the air flow into the mouth of the carb throat, the less restriction on air flow which results in a greater flow rate.

On my build it was enough of a change to lean it out more than I liked,

Just my observation,

I'm in South Florida on my patio wearing long sweats, a scully, and my old Carhartt lined coat. It's down to 54 today!! I might not even be able to go in my pool tonight after work!

Just a goof for you folks up North, but when you live here a while this feels like a blizzard.

Just keep on mind it's going to restrict the airflow to the carb a little.
No, it's not. Not even a little bit.
