Yeah, the flapperectomy and filter base plate mods are done on mine... I was just poking around and found that there are a number of aftermarket airbox solutions out there that make significant improvments... and a number of DIY solutions with varying results. I'm trying to sift thorugh the garbage to find something definitive because from what I gather there's free HP to be found here... the Bimota's used the same engine, but got something like 10% more HP out of them, so there's something going on... hopefully it's free!
