I looked at this but I've read that you get stuff all figures Bach from it for the cost so didn't bother. And I like my barrels kept clean to!

Don't know where they get 7 lb lighter from. My stocky weighs 2.5kg/5.5 lb,so their's must be lighter than air .

Maybe they use a cast iron version for comparison??? Welcome to the advertising! There are cheaper ways to f*** up your engine. Just take the air filter out of your OEM box. 
Must say though it looks very yummy... and if it was really functional I might be tempted.....

Man, I said "if it was really functional" meaning containing an air filter.
You are right, it would be a grave offence to go without...It is designed for racing where they don't really care about the engines life and it is a trap for those who buy the racing components thinking they are better for their bikes. Like some oils and oil/air filters
