Should there be any mesh in the nose cone air intakes,not shown on parts catalogue.Some seem to have it fitted,Nattyboy is it needed ?.

[weeveetwin]

It's not original fitment eric. Don't have it on mine.

[Rob B]

No, because the air tubes flow air in above the filter. The filter catches the bugs, birds and small children.

is anybody running the carbon corsa airtubes plus the carbon airbox ?? if so what was your filter solution - I need to steal some ideas !!
cheers

Are you talking about the 3 piece shroud assembly that has no place for a filter to fit. My answer is K&N. Standard tube type with 62mm hole. Then make up a set of collets (outside dia 61-62mm) for each Velocity stack out of nylon. Remember top make sure they are tapered. Problemo solved.

Neil, I'm getting the tank connectors machined up if they are any good you interested? Cost is not going to be cheap. I searched to country to no avail.

[loony888]

i'm not sure the corsa carbon air tubes will fit a road bike, the yoke offset and width don't leave enough room.

[Nattyboy]

No mesh as standard, but I added some gold mesh to to mine just for aesthetical reasons as I think it just finishes it off nicely

If you zoom in on the attached pic you can just about see what it looks like..

Cheers

loony, I've trial fitted them to the bike and they fit up a treat, this is with Harris yokes though (wider) + larger diameter Ohlins road and track forks.
No problem lock to lock.

jgriff, if you could u2u me with some costs for these - are you talking about a reducer that would allow fitup of the smaller diameter inserts or are these going to be replicas of the original parts ??

cheers

Neil
