Ram Air Intake When Running Turbo
Was wondering what you guys with a turbo are doing with the stock ram air hole in the upper fairing? Was thinking about trying to re-direct the air onto the radiator........................

I cut a plate to fit the inside and blocked it off completely - but if you did nothing at all
that would be fine. Ducting it to the radiator would be cool but I think it would be a P.I.T.A.

Thanks Bob,
I agree, it "does" look like it would be a pain to rout the air to the radiator. I had thought of doing nothing at all with it, but was wondering if I'd notice much turbulance behind the windscreen from it. Seems like the air would go..........somewhere.
Have A Good One!

I think the ram air hole would deliver allot of air to the rider at speed, I would not leave it wide open. Bugs, dirt, rain, it all will be directed out the opening for the forks, directly at the rider.

I have a question also, where did you guys route your crankcase breather hose to?
