My last mod- Lamonster Cold Air Intake

[Lamonster]

I've been playing with this fuel/air quite a bit on the 109 and we can leave the stock air box in but feed it cool air from the outside of the bike and pick up about 5hp.

The same should be true for the Spyder and maybe even better seeing the air is so hot inside those panels. So I got a wild hair and made up a cold air intake using off the shelf parts and keep the stock air box. You can leave your filter in if you want or take it out, I don't think it's going to matter all that much but getting cool air will. I'll post more details later.

This is my last mod.....today.

Well........ I must say; it's unique!

With the additional air drag, you will probably lose that 5hp gain.

And you can look at your phone and tell how long it took to do it. :doorag:

Lamont: What about scoops leading into the airbox, bringing only outside air in through tubes?

I'm interested in seeing if pushing more air will change the fuel mileage.

I LIKE IT! :2thumbs:

But you do need help.

And,,,,,,,,,,,,, what about rain? :yikes:

I have quietly sat back and watched a obsession unfold and enjoyed every minute:thumbup:However this is over the top you have too much time, and as the great MM said("YOU NEED HELP") If you wanna take a ride here:cheers: I would gladly refer you to a therapist:2thumbs::clap::doorag::yes::firstplace::bowdown:

Not an issue. I have over 26,000 miles on this bike with the same style air filter and I've riddin in rain so hard you couldn't see without so much as a hiccup.

I WAS THINKING SOME WHERE ALONG THE SAME LINES. BUT I WAS GOING TO TRY AND USE THE FOG LIGHT HOLES AND CONNECT THE TUBES TO THE AIR BOX. I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT WHEN I HAVE THE PANELS OFF NEXT TIME. JUST A THOUGHT IS ALL

Yep, that may be what I try next if I decide I don't like these.
You got to understand it's all about the journey for me. I'm never quite sure where I'll wind up but I have a good time getting there. :doorag:

My daughter took her Mom's Honda Accord to college. When she came back, her boyfriend had put a wing on the back of it. Mind you, this is a four door sedan, a "Mom Car" and it had a ricer wing on it. Oh yeah, when you got a small engine a thumping and it gets up to 70 MPH, you gotta have a wing for down force :dontknow:
