I personally don't know anyone who makes one for a zx12 off the shelf, but this might work although it is a little large.

I ended up making my own for my zx12, and it's so far proved to be very good on he noise front.

I have the Pipercross 600 and it does not make it quiet, but I have a lot more power now.

nice looking airbox, i was wondering about making my own and using a cone filter but i didnt know how to feed it with cold air as the rad takes up most of the nose cone. Any more pictures?

How much more power did you get?

Before this mod I never hit the rev limiter.
No I hit it every 30 sec.
I guess its like 15 bhp as it was sucking hot engine bay air in before and now its cold.









Thia was MNRs solution.

looks really good, i use an itg filter at the moment but when moving i cant see how mine would be pulling too mch hot air in with the MK bonnet vent.

What rad is that too, im looking at an all alloy one and was wondering which one you are using. Also what rad fan temp switch do you use? ive got a polo rad with a 86-95 temp switch and find my fan is on alot under 30mph. Do i need to get a higer rated one?

Cheers
