That cool that you like it. I am still thinking of dumping my dump. I like the look, but it is stupid loud. I wonder if it is just mine. Honestly, the buddies I like to ride with don't even want to ride near my bike. Loud can be cool, but it can also be annoying and I think the dump walks that line...
Doc...I know what you mean about the noise...I told my partners they will want to ride to the left of me...That cool that you like it. I am still thinking of dumping my dump.

Just my opinion...
Yeah, I really dig your setup. If it wasn't for the hole in the fairing, I would give that a shot. Maybe I should shop for a new fairing instead...That is the main reason I built a 36 inch dump pipe coming out the back. No difference on the Dyno but it is like the Turbo acts like a muffler.
can you run your air filter out in that direction? I looked at that and addiing a scoop on both sides for balance. Jury is still out on if I do that now that I did the custom paint. I do need to open up the air filter more. i had the bottom front cut away before, but when i put the new paint I put new plastic in some spots including the litttle bottom front. Now I will have to re-drumel again.Yeah, I really dig your setup. If it wasn't for the hole in the fairing, I would give that a shot.

It definitely gets dirtier quicker, but it also is easy to remove/clean. The reverse scoop may help a little bit, try it and post some pics... sounds like a decent idea...those of you guys who have the filter sticking out of the left side fairing, how often do you have to change/clean the filter? do alot of bugs and road debris get caught in it? and if so.. couldnt you customize it w/ a piece of alluminum and make like a backward scoup to have it block it...
say "O" is the intake and ")" is the scoup... O) <---to block the bug's...
Scope is a rood idea in both directions. Scooping in the air. The problem with high speeds is you need one on each side for balance.It definitely gets dirtier quicker, but it also is easy to remove/clean.

I have a scoop on mine for air, but I thought he was talking about a reverse scoop, to avoid dirt... right? I have only the small scoop on the air intake side, and the dump on the other... I am not noticing an imbalance...Scope is a rood idea in both directions. Scooping in the air.

maybe they balance each other. Should not matter until the bike goes over 185mph or so. I think the biggest reason is that it keeps (subtracts) a couple of mph off the top. I have not proven this for myself so you could very well be right that it would not matter until extreme high speed, then even your underwear matters.I have a scoop on mine for air, but I thought he was talking about a reverse scoop, to avoid dirt... right?
