I guess it can't hurt (at least he didn't put it on the inside), but how much would a hot airbox even change the intake air temp? Seems like a lot of air is moving pretty fast through that thing.

I can maybe see it having a small impact on air temp at idle but once moving, not so much...

Too bad it's hidden under the gas tank

You would just need it on the bottom half. You should your bike taken away for paying $150 for tin foil and your legs broken for paying $300 for gold colored tin foil.

that is a $1,000,000 dollar idea right there. Sell performance airbox foil kits that help improve gas mileage and increase hoarsepower.

I would think putting it on the bottom of the fuel cell/tank itself would have a better result as cool fuel is just as important as cool air. Only with a Buell I aint wrapping my frame in that shit.
On the other hand the cold air systems cars run are not anywhere as efficient as a motorcycles pressurized ram air ducts so I doubt there is any benefit to wrapping the airbox.
