No, I don't think it's the same reason AFAIK the folks that cut holes in their airbox are looking for more aire entrance capacity than the snorkel provides (and so, probably it ill make the bike accelerate quicker) On the other side, the "device" that some folks (like me) put into their airbox try to guarantee 2 things: -First, that all the air that enter throuout the snorkel can spreed all over the air filter surface -Second, to avoid that filter foam expansion around the snorkel area can restrict or decrease the aire entrace. By snorkel I mean the pipe screwed to the air box
Breaking news This pic is from the Superdual owner's manual. So we were right making what we have made BTW, anybody have a link to the superdual spare parts catalog??
http://www.powerhousemotorcycles.com.au/partFinder/fiche/swm/2018/superdual-t#component it seems that the grid adopted by the superdual 2018 can not be sold separately but is included in the complete filter case. moreover, we have no certainty until today that a superdual 2018 filter case is 100% compatible with that of TE
What a pity... But above all, the good point about it is that we were right with our modifications... and this has inspired SWM to make the Superdual grid
