So some of us, if not all of us heard, that a big minus of open airbox on monster is air turbulence. It affects carbed one's more then ie but all are affected.
When I was speaking with mechanic I use for general stuff he suggested a solution.
They had the same problem on race bikes they were racing in Poland and UK.
In short get a mesh material, metal or plastic as long as it is stiff, with holes that are max 1cm in diameter and the frame as thin as possible to limit volume taken.
It needs to be stiff to minimize vibration.
Put it in the airbox deviding it in to 9 smaller squares or atleast 4 but judging by size of monster airbox 6 to 9 is probably best.
What it will do is take minimal amounts of airbox volume but in turn surface will be to small to create significant turbulence as each time it hits certain size it will hit one of the mesh walls.
What do you think of that idea?
