Default If you've ever wondered why my induction is so loud .....

This may have something to do with it ......



And that's all there is. No airbox lid or anything. JHS took the foam off the underside of the tank and so effectively the bottom of the tank creates the "lid" of the airbox.

Are there any noticeable benefits to this other than the noise?

I'm afraid you are only half right the bike is accountable for the noise, but the rider for the magnetism.

We are both known as "the big throbber" together and independently.

That was his main motivation. Did you see the weird expression on his face at Alton when he dismounted?
