Paul, you say the plastic is a better insulator, any comment on covering the whole thing in aluminium foil for heat reflective purposes?
Also, with regards to intake angles, do you think I should stay with the filter in the dropped position, or straighten out the intake flow? (Double question really, is the filter in the dropped position picking up cooler air and delivering it efficiently enough to jusify it being there, than if it were in the same position as yours and other KKM users?)
The aluminum foil sounds like a decent idea to me. With the aluminum tube I've got, it would be nice to get some insulation around it.
I'm no expert, but I suspect that the lowered position is helpful, though this also increases the amount of dirt and grit it will have to deal with, I bet. If one lifts it up to the normal airbox position, some kind of heat shield (like I've put on mine) might be good.
