Also can you tell me the lenght of your new velocity stacks? And the older ones that you used lenght?

The previous inlets were about 89mm from the throttle body to the end of the bell mouth, so the new ones are less than half that at 40mm.

I saw this picture of a Spanish mt07 race bike for sale that appeared to have very short velocity stacks as well.

On the street i definitely wouldn’t but if I was racing and I thought removing the air filter might gain me 6 inches on the straight then the filter would be in the spares box.

I've road raced motorcycles for over 10 years, most without running an air cleaner or filter. With at least annual motor teardowns, a little extra wear on the rings, pistons, and valve seats doesn't matter to me. Except when required by the rules, I'd say air filters are used on race bikes fairly rarely.

Got my header pipes back from having 18mm bosses welded, now need some dry weather to get out and log each cylinders a/f ratio.

How about these R7 variable length inlets. Pretty trick, hate to think how expensive!

I just pull it over the bellmouths/velocity stacks and that's it, i haven't ever had it come off on it's own yet.

@AP996AP996 thanks a lot for your help, UK should have stayed in EU, got a month for the Ramairfilters to arrive in Portugal eheh. Finnaly finished the project now I start to think on more something eheh. Do you think that the bored throttle bodies would be OK in a stock engine.

Probably not worth doing on a stock engine judging by the result that @T1oas got when he tried it.

 I’d definitely agree @AP996 not worth doing.
