guys...guys...as stated above by others weight is not the issue. If i wanted to lose 2.8 lbs. i would take a sh*t. Airflow is what it is all about. Getting a C/A intake on these superchargers is tight...so i chose a different route. With the headlight delete vent i am getting air directly on my intercooler...not only that but my intake is directly behind the intercooler. Also the reason i chose to put the screen behind the hood is a cleaner look in my opinion, and also the more straight up and down that the vent is, the more air gets through...simple dynamics. And if i am not tired enough to be heading out before dark...i would imagine i did not ride hard enough...but i will have a spare light just in case.
Cheers,
Mike
