    I created a heat blanket for the underside of my airbox by using a cardboard template, and then transfering it onto some heat shield material I picked up from Home Depot. (Yes I do alot of shopping there) I have noticed a huge difference in the heat reduction of the air box. As for HP #s, I couldnt tell you, but cooler air=better mixture. If anyone is interested, let me know, and I can post some pics and detailed instructions. I still say we need a How to Forum added on here.

    Nice mod. I'll add the forum right away. If you email me images with descriptions I will add a link to a section for custom mods and DIY Buell stuff.

    Matchbox, this doesn't keep you warm, it keeps the incomming air cooler. Sorry have not had the time to post pics as of yet!
