Purely in the name of science, you could do some proper work here. If you speak to a company called Race Technology, they make a device called a DL1 data logger. Pair that up with an atmo pressure sensore, and you could hook said sensor up (or up to 13 of them!!) and ride your steed, logging the different pressures found around the bike. You might find that the airbox intake is a major negative pressure point at speed, whereas other points are in neutral or even positive pressure. By identifying these points, you would know where to locate any air feeds or suchlike. guesswork is no substitute for hard facts.
This way you would see if there is any discrepancy between the dyno set up and real world conditions
OR he could PM me having seen the cost of these things and make me an offer on the as new one i no longer need that's got the uprated GPS sensor etc.....whistle
