better throttle response, some say better torque... The mod makes ur bike pull in just clean air instead of nasty air.. Main reason is if ur bike takes a tumble it keeps oil out of ur air box

Would there be issues in shortening a Carbon Fiber RS-3?

nope, actually its easier than cutting metal because its a fiber weave. Just tape the edges you want to cut with painter tape and you'll get smooth clean lines.

Thanks. Yeah, I just figured maybe the weave would get messed up. Can't wait. It's gonna look good.
