Carbonfiber airbox
I found this one on http://shop.durbahn.de/shop/en/produ...Intake/Durbahn
From the website:
Hawk Airbox
Available in Glassfiber w/black gelcoat or Carbon . Only 30% of the weight of the OEM-Airbox (Glass-Version) , and at least 500% more Volume .
I've paid attention, that the OEM wire harness still can stay hidden behind the Frame,even with the new waterduct .
The ultimate Solution :
This way there are 3 Advantages :
- No cover , means no superfluous weight
- Maximum Volume
- Easy Access to Carburators
The Airbox will come :
- with Airfilter
- cutouts with sealings for gas-cable , choke-cable , fuelline , Engine-Breathing hose
- 2 x 28 cm Ignition-leads ( for exchange of too short OEM-leads , necessary )
Measurements you have to do yourself:
-You've to fab a Aluminum Upper Bracket to lower the OEM Radiator
-You've to fab a Aluminum Lower Bracket as 2nd mounting spot for OEM Radiator
- you've to re-route the cooling hoses
- you need to relocate the filler ( as there's a lot of Space occopied by the Snorkel )

The ultimate Solution :
- Low weight
- Permanent cool Air
- Pressurized Air
- Insulation against Engine Heat (carbs stay cool)
- Insulation against hot Air from Radiatior ( carbs stay cool )
- Airfilter included
- Better throttle response
- Compared to no Airbox racing-Setup it's a low noise solution with culture of sound and no pollution of the Bike through sealed concept

Yeah, wrong hawk unfortunately. Thorsten's carbon airbox for the RC freaking rocks. It drops somewhere around 8-10lbs and with a remap gains around 5-8hp through the whole rev range. I just put one on my RC and I am amazed.
I wish he made one for the superchicken too.....a power increase would be nice but just the weight difference would be great on our pigs.
