That's useful info on the scoops.
I had never considered their fitment to a water cooled model.
And I think I'm going to deduce that, if their effect is noticeable on a water cooled motor (and somewhat verifiable, as there are temp gauges in the mix) then their effect is likely to be even greater for an air cooled motor.

On the carbon tank, Capo has been running one for years on his S4R.
I'm not certain but I don't think he treated the inside.
Then again, he's fastidious enough that he probably rarely leaves fuel sitting in the tank over winter.
I've not done much research yet myself.
Tbh I'm dithering because one downside of the carbon is that my magnetic tankbag will no longer stick ... and I do need a tankbag.
