It didn't help one bit haha. But I left it there, half cuz I kinda like the way it looks and half cuz I am to lazy to pull it off. I had to re jet it to compensate for the excessive air. Went up 3 sizes from stock and it runs like a champ now. I honestly would have stuck with the air box (even with wanting to go rat bike/bobber) but this among many other things were all things I had to fix from the previous owner. If you saw this one when I got it you would have cried. He put the pods on, and kept trying to fiddle with the carbs but got nowhere (of course... He didn't jet them) Once I got into it it was a horror show. The carbs looked like they had been beaten with a waffle hammer. The 3 and 4 over flows were busted off and filled with JB weld. 2 of the pilot screws were so over tightened they were stripped out.. I just wound up getting new carbs and rebuilding them myself.

So yeah, you can try to restrict the airflow in a few different ways but all in all I have found the two best options are to rejet or keep the original air box.
