Might wanna keep the airbox. Can be a counterproductive. Air turbulance thing.
My alternative solution would be to do something to the airbox covers to jazz them up...maybe Carbon Fiber or something. I would consider adding some CF components in the right spots for flavor. Don't see much of it used on old school style bikes.

He told us it was coming in the future. How right he was. It’s unbelievable what progress has been made since then.No kidding. I did an Engineering presentation for a group of about 75 local business professionals a few weeks ago, highlighting current Design technologies. I began with a brief review of history of Design technologies and by the time I was done, a) I felt like an old fart, and b) I was so thankful to have been apart of the change from the Board to 2D CAD to 3D CAD and all of the ancillary changes along the way. Been a great career path in the end. Now I'm just happy to share some of it with others along the way.

I started in 1985 on the Board in Engineering Drafting in Vocational school, then continued in Industry as a Draftsman and studied ME in College. Fun stuff!
