900ss airbox mod?
 
Hi,
I'm new round here and I would firstly like to say how happy I am that I've discovered and are now a part of this forum.
I would like to think I am here for the long term and I'm looking forward to making the most from what this site has to offer.
So, my question: I'm the proud owner of a 95 900ss and I've recently decided to pep her up a bit. I've already got Predator cans and just replaced the filter for a K&N jobbie - should I go down the road of opening up the airbox?? This would mean cutting the top off it to allow direct flow into the filter.
Wether I do this or not I will be Dyno-jetting her regardless - unless anyone has other suggestions.
I would love to hear what others have to say on this topic - it's essential a mild tune-up for the Ol V Twin, an art I am unfamiliar with. I'm not put off by induction noise - I actually quite like it!!
Thanks in advance.

This is a common mod that a lot of people have done over the years, including me on my 600/620 race bike!

Ducati sold a "Ducati Performance" airbox lid that was basically a cut-down version of the original lid. When I did mine, I just cut the lid down myself, making sure that there was a lip left at the front as per the DP version. You've already got the K&N filter so open up the lid before you get it on the jets changed so everything matches.

Many thanks,

good advice is always welcome.

Just getting her ready for the MOT - I shall sort this airbox mod when its time to Dyno.
