He sees no restriction with the current 899 bob design. If I recall right, the bob inlet is fine because the throttle butterfly and associated gubbins brings down the overall cross sectional area. Also the air flows fastest in the middle and this is where the butterfly and associated gubbins is, so therefore the current bob inlet should flow just fine. That was the general consensus. Whether this would still apply with a 40mm TB I don't know.
I seem to remember a post from Tricker a while ago something along the lines that that in normalish trim the normal GSR kit (ie bob) was fine but at 40mm plus at higher revs there was some question about airflow.
I have a GSR and and well pleased with the result and i am not questioning the the reseach behind it, as I respect the the work that oldschool does but if there is more available above this then i want it and if it isn't there then i don't mind helping to get it
