Sealing the RamAir
Ive been spending a bit of time sealing my RamAir ,
and today after i had removed the front end to check my steering head bearings,
i noticed that there is a hole.(15 to 20 mm) going through to the air box about half way down inside the steering neck,
should this be sealed aswell? and is there any other little surprise,s like this, that I should be aware of ?
cheers

Yes! Seal it. It is definitely open to the out side. You probably saw the two holes on the side of the airbox that the tank and trim pieces attach to, and the air filter slots can leak, too. the airbox drain in the left rear corner, and the breather hose under the tank, the PAIR(?) valve in the floor of the airbox in front of the filters. The velocity stacks can be another spot. After sealing all of those, it will hold quite a bit of pressure.

Ive sealed till my little heart is content,
I removed the kleen air, (awhile back) and sealed everything,
I sealed the crankcase breather going into the airbox, and re routed the breather hose to the back of the bike.
and everything else lowfler has suggested.
My mods to date,
bolt on muzzy
muzzy advance plate
muzzy box
sealed Ramair
DNA air fliters
kleen air removed, and block off plates inserted
rewired 1st 2nd and 3rd into 4th gear on the ECU
