    i've done a search and hopefully nobody has asked this before but if they have just send me a link and leave me to deal with the embarrassment. anyways has anyone ever added any kind of tank scoops? the idea popped into my head after looking at the Warrior and i really like the look of it... i'd like to do something similar on my rat-bike project if not for function purely for aesthetics.... anyone have any input?

    I'm having a hard time imagining what exactly you mean by "tank scoop"... I'm initially inclined to assume you are meaning something similar to a hood scoop on a car? In that case I would think you would want to look for something more along the lines of ram air? I think a fake scoop would just cause air resistance...

    i suppose it could be either or, i had only thought of is at a ram-air and forming somekind of path into the carbs. i didn't think of that air resistance thing... that's probably worth saving the turbulence for aesthetic reasons.. oh well it was just a thought. i'll see if i can find a picture of just what i mean
