What have you done about the fuelling, PCV, ECU reflash and/or dongle?

I've read several posts about keeping the stock intake boot. I'd like to see a dyno side by side. I'm not a physicist but have a decent grasp on air dynamics. I don't see how the added length would add any benefit and I also don't understand how the velocity stack or trumpet effect works within the pod. All that being said I've never seen a 701 with thr exposed pod filter look and damn it looks great 👍

Read much the same myself. The filter has a pretty big internal volume, I guess the velocity stack would have a similar effect as it has inside the airbox. If nothing else the rubber intake gave me a bit of flexibility to get the best looking angle. Other 701s I have seen with a pod filter end up with a weird looking downward 'droop'.

Rather than clamping on the throttle body I have kept the stock intake rubber inside the filter. I understand the trumpet and length of the intake aids midrange.

I have a similar set up on my 701, using a RE-0930 K&N, Runs great, the position keeps it out of the elements and fast moving air past the filter is not a big issue on a bike that spends 95% of its time below 70mph. I went with DNA filters on the vents after trying a couple of ebay cheapos that fell apart quickly.
Love the look and the intake noise is like god clearing his throat.

So I know there's tons of posts on here about deleting the airbox. Mine method isn't all that much different other than I'm mounting the pod filter directly onto the throttle body. More on that and pics later when the filter shows up in the mail. But for the time being I'm removing the rest of the bits. I bought an sas blanking plate, the dongles, and a crankcase breather filter. But I'm left with the breather on top of the head. The purple arrows show the vacuum hose going from the head breather to the chamber in the frame. The yellow shows where there was a vacuum line to the now discarded airbox. Theres a second nipple below that one which had a vacuum line going to another part of the sas system that was discarded. All that being said, the obvious option in my head is to buy another breather filter similar to the crank case to fit onto the head rather than plugging the exposed points on the frame chamber. Any input on why that would or wouldn't work is appreciated. View attachment 112670

I did exactly this, I was concerned about oil blowing out of the filter and making a mess but it worked a treat and allows for the removal of as much plumbing as possible.
