The only air filter I see people routinely change to is a K&N.

save yourself some time and money. The intake is long for a reason. that reason is for some backpressure to make the mas air flow work right. I have tried on several vehicles to no avail. (carbed and FI)
Another thing to consider is that most scooters are more of a torque motor (even though they turn some RPM"s), than it is a HP motor. That is the reason for the long intake (OEM). (check the air flow pattern in it) Also the AIT (air intake temp) is in there. Lots of things to consider.
I messed with my reflex for a few months and put it back stock I gained RPM but lost HP, tricky balance there.

Geez MaxB,

Thanks for dumping some cold water on my dream of simply bolting on a cool looking airfilter and turning my SilverWing into a 919 beater. Dang engineering and physics.

As Adam Savage (Mythbusters) would say,

I am not saying it is impossible, just hard to do. Lots of variables in the application.

yeah , you can stick a cone on there but, don't expect it to run worth a hoot. Maybe with a long rubber intake..Hmmm

Jdalton: just be happy with smokin harleys at lights hahaha , I do.

MaxB,

Keep up the innovative thoughts. Making things better (improvement) is what it's all about.
